The Hammarskjold Vikings’ boys curling team has earned a silver medal at the all-Ontario high school curling championships in Thunder Bay.
They lost 6-5 in an extra end to Port Perry High School in the gold medal game.
Port Perry opened the scoring with a single point in the first, before Hammarskjold pulled ahead with singles of their own in the 3rd and 4th ends.
Port Perry went back up front with 3 in the 5th and added to their lead with another in the 6th.
Hammarskjold drew within 2 in the 7th and even the game with 2 in the 8th to force the extra end.
The Vikings’ squad had an opportunity to win in the extra end, with Port Perry holding shot rock.
However, Stroud’s final shot landed further in the house than hoped, giving Port Perry the win.
Members of the silver-medal-winning team are Kyle Haynen, Kain Cristofaro, Hudson Sivic, Owen Weiss, Warren Stroud, and coaches Liane Fossum and Larry Stroud.
