The CHSS Boys' Curling team, which includes skip Ethan Doig, vice Adam Vincent, second Sam Steep and lead Alex Vincent, took home the gold against
Kemptville's St. Michael Catholic High School in the OFSAA boys curling gold medal game in North Bay on March 22.
Clinton curling crew captures OFSAA title

Staying positive paid off for the
boys from Central Huron
Secondary School.
Twice on Saturday, the
foursome from Clinton, which
includes skip Ethan Doig, vice
Adam Vincent, second Sam Steep
and lead Alex Vincent, looked to
be down and out against
Kemptville's St. Michael Catholic
High School in the OFSAA boys
curling gold medal game.
But both times, they took the
points when it counted, including
in extra ends, to capture a
provincial title at North Bay
Granite Club after a pair of rare
misses by St. Michael skip Ryan
Thompson -Brown.
Down 2-0 in the eighth and
possibly final end, Thompson -
Brown — whose team had been
ruthlessly efficient during five
straight blank ends to start the
game followed by back-to-back
steals of one in the sixth and
seventh ends — faced a takeout
near the button to limit Central
Huron to a fruitless one -point
end.
It didn't work out as
Thompson -Brown left a Central
Huron rock in the house and
Doig scored two on a draw with
his next shot for the tie.
Then with Central Huron
sitting one in the four -foot ring,
the St. Michael skip missed a hit
and stick for the win as the
Clinton crew captured a 4-2 gold -
medal -game win.
"A couple misses, a couple ups
and downs, but you can never
give up," Doig said. "That's a big
thing that we as a team have been
working on this whole year."
That's the beauty of high school
curling. Anything can happen
and anyone can miss when the
pressure is on.
Like on Friday, it was the St.
Michael foursome of Thompson -
Brown, vice Mitchell Jeffs,
second Eric Shantz and lead
Nick St. George looking on as
Lockerby Composite School skip
Tanner Horgan — an
accomplished curler from
Sudbury who led his Idylwylde
Curling Club team to a 5-5 record
at the 2014 M&M Meat Shops
Canadian Junior Championships
— faced a draw to the button to
tie.
Horgan, who waved off his
coach instead of taking a timeout,
slid his rock a bit too far and St.
Michael moved on to the
semifinals with a 5-3 win before
edging Bradford District High
School 5-4 to advance to
Saturday's final.
In the bronze medal game,
Aurora's St. Maximilian Kolbe
Catholic Secondary School,
which also lost 5-4 in the
semifinals to Central Huron,
burst open a 2-1 game with a
four -point fourth end en route to
a 7-1 win over Bradford District
as the teams shook hands in the
sixth.
For Doig, the gold medal win
hits close to home for his
longtime team of Clinton curlers.
The second, Steep, is his
cousin while the Vincents are
twin brothers. They've been
curling together for eight years
and with all four in Grade 11 they
have one more year of high
school to look forward to —
along with a possible OFSAA title
defence.
"Seriously, it's just a big family
and so fun curling together all
the time," Doig said.
