The Peacock Toilers came within a single win of claiming a medal at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial mixed curling championships, but ended up settling for fourth place.
The Toilers foursome of skip Dayne Heisler, third Kaylee Hogeboom, second Callista McQueen and lead Trevor Coxe posted a 2-1 record in the round robin to advance to the medal round.
They opened the tournament with an 11-5 win over Tisdale before dropping a 12-6 decision to Lampman in their second outing. That sent Heisler and crew into a must-win game against Meadow Lake and they found themselves in another high-scoring contest before prevailing 11-7.
That was good enough to have a shot to play for medals, but Peacock would run into the host team from Hanley in their semifinal contest and drop a 9-1 decision.
That sent Heisler into the bronze medal game, where they’d fall 7-4 to Maple Creek.
The Cornerstone Christian School Falcons girls rink of skip Callen Nyhof, third Payton Fisher, second Nami Tsuchiya and lead Ninnie Buakaew split their first two round robin games, falling 9-5 to Watson and defeating Regina Winston Knoll 10-6, setting up a similar must-win situation in their final round robin game.
They wouldn’t have the same luck as Peacock, though, falling 8-1 to North Battleford Comp and missing the playoffs by a single win.
Lampman would go on to defeat Hanley 5-3 in the mixed gold medal game, while Langham defeated North Battleford 7-4 to win the girls title. The boys championship was won by Saskatoon Holy Cross with a 6-1 victory over South Central regional qualifier Outlook.
