(Lennoxville) - On March 5, at 7 a.m.,
nine boys and girls from Lennoxville and their parents will board a
bus headed for Saguenay, where they will curl for five days straight,
sleeping in classrooms and gym floors surrounded by teams from all
around the province.
These nine players make up the Junior
Boys and Girls curling league of the Lennoxville Curling Club, who
are excited to play in the Jeux de Quebec this March.
21 sports will be represented at the
Jeux, with approximately 3,000 competitors 15 years old or younger,
says junior program coordinator and girls' coach Judith Cassidy.
"It's a well-organised event," she goes on. 75,000
spectators, including parents and coaches, are expected.
Girls' skip Meaghan Rivett says her
team will "definitely" be trying for the top 10, while the
boys are "hoping for the top 8," according to boys' skip
Andy Porter.
While some of the players have played
in the Jeux de Quebec before, for most of the Lennoxville group, this
is their first time at the competition. "[We're] excited,"
boys' lead Aaron Charron says.
The boys will be competing against 15
other curling clubs, while the girls will be facing 13 rivals.
We wish the Lennoxville Curling Club
Juniors good luck in Saguenay. We'll be catching up with them when
they get home.
