After the first end of play there was a little confusion in the Peever/Belyk match and the Kjargaard/Scott game. It looked like they skipped playing end one as there were twos marked for the second end in each case.You have to remember that these are the New Horizons, it was Feb. 11 and they were going into the second half of the season.It was found out that it was Belyk and Kjargaard who counted.
The Halls and Horrells started off their friendly game with lots of rocks in play in the first two ends. It wasn't until the third end that the Hall rink scored three to go up two.In the fourth end, there were five big red ones in the circle when Horrell got to throw his first yellow. He got one in and his next was a speeder that got two more. Horrell left three and Hall drew for the fourth.Horrell had a chance for three more in the fifth, but was a shade narrow and came up with only the one.Hall dropped this one.
Belyk counted two, Peever came back with one and then one more to have the game tied after three.Hank Nickel made anice double takeout in the fourth and then drew for another but they ended counting only one.Bryan Peever and his bunch then scored a big three and added two more. Belyk counted three in the seventh, but ran out of rocks in eighth to lose his first game.
Peter Pauls started off the game by racking up three.He was then lying another three when Rod Forester got to throw his first rock. Forester got the takeout and added another.They exchanged ones in the next two ends and it was tied in the sixth. A big three by the Pauls group with one more in the seventh put the game out of reach.
Alexander Scott had a chance to tie Ed Kjargaard in the fourth end, but he rolled out with his final takeout and counted only one instead of two. Kjargaard showed them how in the next end and went up by two. In the sixth, it was an open draw by Scott to count four and that threw the game wide open.It was just too many reds in the end and Scott came away with a smile.
Gorden Munn and Allan Rogers went back and fourth for the first five ends to count three all after four. Munn then scored two more. Rogers added one and stole one more to be tied up coming home. He was without last rock and fell to Munn.
It started to look like a picket fence when Eugene Korpach put up one each in the first three ends. Bob Krismer ended the fourth with a raised takeout to tie the game.Korpach got a three back in the sixth to go two up.He gave up one in the seventh and two in the eighth for the Krismer win.
