laughs and made several quality
shots.
The first draw came down to the
final rock with the team of skip

Nixon and Ruth Haines coming
out on top. The second draw saw
the team of Murray McNichol,

It was great to see Cheryl back in
the kitchen and with the help of
daughter Elizabeth they did a super
job.

Skips and Stones
– By Bruce Skinn
The Central Huron SecondarySchool Midget Boys basketballteam hosted their annual basketballtournament featuring HullettCentral and Blyth Public Schools.
The fun round robin tournament
was held in the school’s large gym
and throughout the afternoon there
were many amazing baskets,
passes, steals, fouls and even the
odd three-point shot that
always brings cheers from the
crowd.
The CHSS Midget Redmen team
has five players from Hullett andBlyth on their squad this year sothey enjoyed playing againststudents from their former schools.Several of the players from the
elementary schools have
brothers and sisters that already
attend CHSS. It was very exciting to
watch as two brothers faced off
against each other, now finding
themselves on different teams this
year.
There were also some new names
and faces playing for the elementary
school teams that may considerplaying for the Redmen in thecoming years.While nobody beat the highschool team, several elementary
players did play extremely well
proving that they are ready to take
their game to the next level.
A very special thanks goes out to
our scorekeepers, Morgan Wroot
and Paige Wilson who were kept
busy and our referees, Megan
Walraven, Luke Harrison and Kurtis
McCallum.
