They qualified for the provin- cial finals with a first place finish at the regional meet held in Ridgetown the weekend of Jan. 24 and 25. The provincial finals run from Feb. 5 to Feb. 8. Coach Ron Pryce said this is the second year in a row they have qualified for the provin- cials, but they have higher expectations this time around. "Last year was different as we had some losses along the way," Pryce said. "This year, the confi- dence in their play was just incredible. It's just a totally dif- ferent team." Pryce said the team's recent play has been dominant; in fact, they have yet to play a full game on their journey to the provin- cial finals. With the confidence the team is showing, Pryce believes they can continue on the same path this weekend. "I think it will be very similar to the regionals. They've turned a lot a lot of heads and they will be looked at as top competition. It's been very fun to watch." Three of the four team mem- bers from last year are returning to the provincials. Brayden Pryce (skip), Ian MacGregor (vice -skip), Bennett Taylor (second) and Sam MacGregor (lead) make up the team. Two of the players will be moving up to junior next year due to their age, something Pryce believes could provide extra motivation to go out on a high note. In preparation for this week- end, the team has had several practices in the past few weeks. While he said he couldn't really name any weaknesses the team has had, Pryce told The Expositor they would be work- ing on their strategy, as he felt it could use a bit of improvement. All the boys' immediate fami- lies will be joining in on the trip to show them support during the most important weekend of their season. When it comes to the benefits of participating in curling, Pryce said the game can teach kids important lessons about sports- manship, etiquette and respect.
