Kitimat rinks dominate

1988 Loggers’ B

They hadn’t curled for two
years, but that didn’t stop
Kitimat rinks from dominating
the annual Terrace Men’s Log-
gers’ Bonspiel on the Easter
weekend.

Teams from rink-less Kitimat
won three of the six major
trophies, including Phil Friesen
who led his team through ‘A’
event to victory and added the
grand challenge playoff for an
unbeaten series.

Friesen edged clubmate Rusy
Monti 6-5 in the grand challenge
playoff, which featured ‘A’ and
‘B’ event finalists. In the semi-
final Monti beat: out Steve
Jackson of Prince Rupert, while
Friesen knocked off another
Kitimat team skipped by Gary
Habinger.

For ‘A’

event, Friesen

defeated Jackson 6-4 in the
deciding game. It was Friesen
over Don Palmer of Smithers,
and Jackson over Ken Blanes of

the host club in the semis.

In the ‘B’ final, Monti had to
steal one point in the 10th end to
force an extra end against Hab-
inger. Monti then stole one in
the 11th and came out with an
8-7 victory.

Monti had beat out Jerry
Meek of Kitwanga in the semi-
final while Habinger was doing
likewise to Allen Berg of
Hazelton.

In addition to fourth in ‘B’,
Meek dropped to ‘E’ and won
this event 5-0 over Marshall Per-
rin of Terrace. Meek had to
down Tom Sheasby of Terrace,
while Perrin needed a victory
over Brian Jackson of Terrace in:
the semis. ;

Another out-of-town rink
skipped by John Green of Prince
George, won ‘C’ event by
beating local curler Mark
Flaherty — 9-6. Earlier, Flaher-
ty defeated ciubmate Glen
Thomsen and Green eliminated

Jerry Meek of Kitwanga, recent winner of men’s bonspiels at Smithers and
Prince Rupert, added the Terrace Loggers’ ‘E' event to his list when he
beat out Marshall Perrin of Terrace in the final.

Rob Brown of Prince Rupert in

Flaherty came close to a
perfect end early Sunday morn-
ing when he racked up a seven-
ender against the Tipper Mouid
rink of Hazelton.

The only Terrace victory came
in ‘D’ event where Rick Larsen
outscored Gord Pratt of
Smithers 7-5. In the semis,
Larsen defeated Kitimat’s
Malcolm Baxter while Pratt
took care of Hazelton’s Dave
Webster.

The Jerry Meek victory in ‘E’
event and third-place finish in
‘B’ gave the Kitwanga skip, a
season to remember. Earlier,

‘Meek topped Prince Rupert’s

Marine Spiel and also won the
Smithers men’s event. He also
had second overall at the
Whitehorse event.

weekend’s annual Terrace Men’s Loggers’ Bonspiel. Friesen skipped his
team to a triumph in ‘A’ event, and finished as the only unbeaten team by
jaking the grand challenge playoff of 'A’ and ‘B' event finalists. ,
