On Sunday we had a makeup game so that we did not have to play this coming Wednesday. The team that we played is the team that we least liked in the league. The reason for this is that the first time that we played them, they burned three rocks and did not say anything. As well they took marginal points when they were already up by ten points in the game. Long story short, we just always had a bad feeling about them, and wanted nothing more to beat this team.
Once the coin was tossed, we came up on the short side of the toss and were not lucky enough to get the hammer. So, we started out playing our original strategy, cover the center of the ice. It worked out as after the end of the first end we managed to steal two points. Again without the hammer we followed the same strategy, and again we ended up with another two points. Up four nothing at the start of the third.
The other team was starting to get mad, and blame everything on their missed shots. However, they failed to give us any credit for the reason why they missed those shots, because we took them away this well placed guards and other strategy. Anyhow, by then end of the third end we stole three more point giving us a seven – zero lead.
There skipped freaked out and said he was quitting leaving the team with three players on the ice. I guess somewhere between his freekout and getting off the ice he decided to stay.. So another end we go. End of the fourth end we stole another point (which really should have been two as they lady stopped our rock using her broom after they hit it).
Well, end of this end the skip quit again. I guess this time the rest of the team had it with him as well so threw in the towel. So we won eight to zero after four ends.
Although we played good, this was definitely not our best game ever. My shots I was having some weight problems and others were a little off as well. However there were some really nice shots that we did make.
The two most notable were:
2) Nora (lead – second rock) threw a beautiful take out on a rock that their lead put too far in the house. She get props on this shot as I think I have only asked her to do a takeout once before. Well done
1) Alexis (third – second rock) Was throwing a mid weight take out and was off the mark. However, it hit one of our guards before the house, redirected and slipped threw their two rocks to sit closest and right behind them both. This stopped them from being able to play raise on both these rocks into the house.
Another good game for Team Oh Four Two Ate.
For me it was the most important win yet!
