Snow begins to fall as the BC Winter Games continues, on February 22rd, at the Mission Leisure Centre.
Today at the centre, a number of sports – including curling – were hosted.
During one of the curling matches, the Hawes Team played Reese-Hansen, and won. With a winning score, the four girls – Everly Royea, Jaymee Lynn, Cailin Cooke, and Dezaray Hawes – definitely earned their bragging rights.
"We've (been able to) spend so much time together and we've made really great friendships that will last forever," said Lynn.
Coached by Ken McArdle, the New Westminster-based team has only worked together for the season.
Sweeping hard and smoothly sliding, the team made each 40-pound stone's toss worth it.
