They were in competition at Unity Curling Club at the Battle West district championships on the weekend.The team consists of Stetson Winterholt, Wyatt Jensen, Haiquan Chen and Hayden Hall and the coach is Evan Reid.
The first games saw NBCHS beat Macklin and JPII to reach the ‘A’ final, which they lost to Spiritwood.They beat Macklin in the B final and then faced off again versus Spiritwood, winning the AB final 5-4 and then winning the final, also by a 5-4 score.
In winning the title the Vikings overcame a health scare to a member of the team that was quickly addressed; as well, they went into the finals shorthanded, as Winterholt departed for hockey playoffs. It was Jensen who was called into action to skip the title-winning game for the team.
