Virden’s Jace Freeman can finally call himself a Manitoba champion.
After dropping the Manitoba Junior curling championship final the past two years, Freeman and his team of Luke Robins, Nick Senff, and Timothy Marin beat Nash Sugden’s rink 6-4 to win the Co-ops of Manitoba men’s U21 junior championship at the Brandon Curling Club Sunday evening.
Freeman battled to the bitter end, before running Sugden out of rocks in the 10th end to count two and secure the win.
Meanwhile, Carman’s Shaela Hayward’s hot-streak continues.
The 18-year-old captured the junior women’s championship Sunday with an 8-7 win over Onanole’s Cassidy Dundas.
Her and team of Emily Ostrowsky, Grace Beaudry and Keira Krahn captured the buffalo after beating Dundas earlier in the day, giving Hayward a bye to Sunday’s final.
Hayward put up three in the seventh but Dundas hung around, answering back with a deuce in the eighth before stealing two more in the ninth, forcing Hayward to make two difficult shots to secure the win in the tenth end.
Hayward became the first person to win three Manitoba championships in the same year just last March, meaning she’s now won four provincial titles in a little over a year.
Both her team and the Freeman team advances to the Canadian under-21 championship in Summerside, P.E.I March 22-30.
