Another Cotter shares win on ice

Jan 3, 2020 | 11:43 AM

Team Buchy, that includes a member of Vernon’s Cotter family, will represent B.C. at the 2020 New Holland Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Langley.

The news follows a 10-end nail-biting win for the team at the BC Juniors on Thursday.

Skip Kaila Buchy from Kimberley made an out-turn pick to sit for two on her last rock to clinch the 8-6 win over Royal City/Tunnel Town’s Team Taylor.

“It was like slow motion,” Buchy said. “The rock couldn’t get there quickly enough but once it hit the hog line, I sort of knew.

“We are so excited and so happy.”

Team Buchy includes third Jaelyn Cotter while her well-known dad, Jim, coaches along with Tom Buchy.

Other members include second Katelyn McGillivray, lead Cassidy Schwaerzle, and fifth Samantha McLaren.

Meanwhile in men’s play, a steal of four in the eighth end brought an abrupt finish to what had been a relatively close game between Team Sato and Team Tao.

The score was 9-3 to Team Sato from Royal City Curling Club which had been undefeated throughout the competition.

The Sato team will be playing as Team BC at nationals in Langley.
