sweeping-away

Muskie girls’ skip Erin Tomalty exerted her full force on the broom on this first-end shot on the first day of action at the NorWOSSA curling finals Monday at the Fort Frances Curling Club. The rink finished with a 3-1-1 record to win the silver medal and advance (along with the champion Sioux Lookout Warriors) to the NWOSSAA championships Feb. 21-23 in Thunder Bay. Meanwhile, the Muskie boys’ team skipped by Chris Silver defended its title with a 5-0 record to also book their ticket to Thunder Bay. And the Muskie mixed rink, skipped Dawson Mihichuk, ended up in third place after going 2-2 during the round-robin before losing 3-1 to the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints (Kenora) in the silver-medal tie-breaker.
