• Comedy writer
Alex Kaseberg:
“The Houston
Astros’ former
No. 1 prospect,
Francis Marte,
was banned 162
games for drug
use and it has
nothing to do
with the team’s
cheating scandal.
‘Hey, back off,
we’re working
this side of the
street,’ said the
New England
Patriots.”
• Dwight Perry
of the Seattle
Times: “Former
NFL wideout
Quan Bray, along
with free-agent
tackle Greg
Robinson, was
arrested after
drug-enforcement
agents in
Texas said their
rental car had
157 pounds of
marijuana in
it. So much for
trying to shake
his reputation as
just a possession
receiver.”
• Perry again:
“With the spectre
of opposing
pitchers plunking
Astros hitters
at a record rate
over the team’s
sign-stealing
scandal, just
have to ask:
Will Houston’s
promotional
giveaways
include Astros
Replica Jersey
Night, sponsored
by Target? By
season’s end,
will Houston —
not Boston — be
laying claim to
the title of “Bean
Town?”
• Jack FInarelli
of Sportscurmudgeon.com,
on one place TV
could cut back
on its XFL game
telecasts: “Sideline
reporters
are as useful as a
trombone player
in a duck blind.”
THERESETTA SPORTS
Exhibition games
keep teams busy
by K. Smawley
Theresetta basketball
teams are on the countdown
to Clearview & Region
Athletics (CARA) and
Central Western Alberta Jr.
High Athletics Association
(CWAJHAA) tournaments.
League games have
wrapped up and the teams
have been keeping busy
playing exhibition games
over the past few weeks.
The girls travelled to
Brownfield on Feb. 19 for an
exhibition game and
although they lost, it was an
exciting game because at the
end they could officially say
that everyone on the team
has scored at least one
basket this season. With so
many new Grade 5 players
on the team this year, getting
everyone a basket was a
team goal.
The girls hosted Donalda
on Feb. 25 for another exhibition
game and though they
played hard, they lost. It was
a close game though, and
the older girls on the team
showed their leadership
skills.
The coaches of the team
have mentioned numerous
times throughout the season
that they are proud of the
positive attitude and level of
encouragement the older
players have displayed in
every game.
The boys travelled to
Erskine on Sat. Feb. 8 for a
one day tournament. They
started the day by playing
the Grade 9 Stettler team.
They played well but lost the
game before going on to win
against Coronation.
That put the boys second
in their pool so they got to
play for the bronze medal
and third place. They were
up against a team from
Trochu and after a close
back and forth battle, the
Theresetta Knights came
home with the third place
win. Well done boys!
The boys team played an
exhibition game against Gus
Wetter on Feb. 19. The
Knights lost the game, but it
is always a learning experience
to play against an older,
more experienced team.
The boy’s team travelled
to Stettler on Feb. 26 to take
on the Stettler B team for an
exhibition game.
Coach Finkbiner took
only the young players this
time for some extra experience
for them and they had a
good time testing out all
their skills during some
longer shifts.
Curling team successes
The Theresetta curling
teams had a great day in
Stettler at CARA. They had
two teams entered and both
teams had strong showings
in their round robin play,
both winning two of their
three games which took
them to the quarterfinals.
After a hard quarterfinal,
one team lost out to last
year’s, and eventually this
year’s, CARA champions
from Erskine. The team is
made up of all Grade 7’s, so
they are looking forward to
many more curling seasons
together.
The other Theresetta
team won their quarterfinal,
then played the
Erskine future champs in
the semifinal, losing by one
point.
From there, the team
advanced to the bronze final
against a Gus Wetter team.
They played well but ended
up taking home fourth
place.
It didn’t feel like a loss
though, the curlers made so
many great shots
throughout the day, it was a
great experience.
It was a very long day for
this team as they played 24
ends, and had four games
back to back to finish the
day.
Not end-of-season
finale it once was
Cont’d from Pg 14
Jacobs and Kennedy
form a formidable back
end, and the Brush
Brothers — E.J. and Ryan
Harnden — have few peers
at the front end. The addition
of Kennedy has helped
vault Jacobs’ crew to three
Grand Slam victories in
four events this season.
Those three victories
make Jacobs a big favourite
at Kingston this week,
but the other main contenders
forming the cream
of the curling crop in
Canada — rinks skipped
by Kevin Koe, Brendan
Bottcher, Brad Gushue,
John Epping, Matt
Dunstone, Jason
Gunnlaugson, Jim Cotter
and either Mike McEwen
or Glenn Howard (one of
whom will be the wildcard
qualifier) won’t make it
easy on the Sault Ste.
Marie team.
The Brier is still a big
deal, but it’s not the end-ofseason
finale it once was.
There are still two Grand
Slam events to go, as well
as the world championships,
but the winner this
week in Kingston will
breathe a huge sigh of relief
that it gets to spend a week
in chilly Saskatoon in
December, 2021.
