MOOSE JAW -- Moose Jaw teams didn’t have a lot of luck on their side during the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial curling championships this past weekend.
Competing in the girls tournament in Wawota, Peacock’s defending provincial champion Kaylee Hogeboom missed the playoffs by a single win, while Central’s Blake Montgomery had a similar result in the mixed championship in Unity.
Hogeboom opened her run with a 9-1 loss to Estevan in the first round of the double knockout draw but rebounded with a 6-2 win over La Ronge to advance to a qualifying game. There, an 8-5 loss to North Battleford Comprehensive would bring her tournament to an end.
Saskatoon Holy Cross defeated Kincaid 10-5 to win the girls provincial title.
Montgomery got off to a great start with a 7-3 win over Canora, but endured two heartbreaking losses to miss the playoffs. That included a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Saskatoon Tommy Douglas in their A final and then a 7-6 loss to Swift Current in the B final.
Swift Current went on to defeat Yorkton Regional to secure gold.
Wynard defeated Yorkton Regional 4-3 to claim the boys provincial title.
