One Down, One or Two To Go

Hello. Last night we won our first round curling game. We beat a team which included Stephanie Leachman, a top curler who will be playing in Newfoundland next week for an Olympic pre-Trials position.
We started off slowly. Our skip (me) stunk. After missing my first 4 shots, we were down 3-0 after 2 ends. Then in the 3rd, we all hit our stride. We scored 3 to tie it up.
They got one in the 4th, then we got one in the 5th. We then proceeded to steal one in the 6th and 7th, and ran them out of rocks in the 8th.
Was it tense? You bet! If they had made their last shots in the ends we stole, it could've easily been a different game. They were very tough, and I wasn't surprised they missed them.
Now we go against a squad we've had mixed results against over the years. If we can get them to play a hitting game, I think we can win. And we have to win, because otherwise we'll be out and our season will be over.
Is this fun? You bet! No matter what our team has a great time together.

Regards,
Steve
