Curling season

The curling season is nearing its end. The regular season is almost over, and my Monday night team has a solid chance of making it to the "A"-side playoffs. Monday nights are the competitive team night, so it would be great for the team to make it there. When the season first began, we had signed up a brand new curler (Tom Downey), recruited a junior curler (Nicol McNiven), and had two players that hadn't really played in the last 3 years or so (Ryan Cox and myself). The expectation for the season was pretty low and a .500 season was the goal. As this was a pretty competitive league, this goal seemed attainable and reasonable.

After 15 games, we have a 9-6 record. We are guaranteed to finish the regular season with a record above .500 as there are only two games left.

We have a big game on Monday night against Team Guthman. Guthman is a guy that we've had trouble with beating in the past. He's a very good curler and he represented our region at the provincials in the past. It's going to be very tough to beat him.
