March arrived with a bit of a wind chill, but was more like a lamb than a lion. It will be another busy month at Maymont Central School.
The junior girls' curling team participated in the Battle West Playoffs on March 1 and 2. Spiritwood hosted the event this year. The team members were Kimberly Wawryk, Mackenna Voegeli, Brooke Ferris and Allison Wawryk. Dennis Wawryk was their coach.
The girls started out strong and won their first game against the host team, Spiritwood, but were not able to win their second game. They were back on the ice at 6:30 p.m. and won by a narrow margin. It came right down to the last rock. This qualified the girls to return to Spiritwood the next day.Ìý
ÌýLuck was not on their side and they lost the game. They finished fourth, which was just out of the medals. Thanks to the girls and their coach for representing the school.
