GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — World champions Jeff Stoughton and Glenn Howard rediscovered their winning ways Friday to advance to the playoffs at the GP Car and Home Players’ Championship at the Crystal Centre.
Stoughton, a two-time champion, and three-time winner Howard both lost Thursday night, to Sweden’s Niklas Edin and Edmonton’s Kevin Martin, respectively. On Friday, Stoughton, who captured his second world crown Sunday in Regina, stole two in the second end and another in the fifth to upend Edmonton’s Rob Schlender 7-3 in one B-side final. The Winnipeg quartet will join Edin, Martin and Edmonton’s Kevin Koe in the weekend playoff round. Koe advanced with a 7-6 extra-end win over Brandon’s Rob Fowler on Friday.
Howard, from Coldwater, Ont., also advanced by breaking open a 2-1 game with a four-ender in the seventh end against Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., to go up 5-2. Jacobs ran out of rocks on the eighth and final end. In C-final competition on the women’s side, Edmonton’s Heather Nedohin defeated Krista McCarville of Thunder Bay, Ont., 7-6; Shannon Kleibrink’s Calgary foursome scored a huge six-ender for a 9-4 win over European champion Stina Viktorsson of Sweden; and Chelsea Carey of Morden grabbed three in the sixth end en route to a 6-5 victory over Mirjam Ott.
Carey was set to battle Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones, Kleibrink was to meet Ottawa’s Rachel Homan, Nedohin was to take on Calgary’s Cheryl Bernard and Grande Prairie’s Desiree Owen was meeting four-time world junior champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland in Friday night quarter-final matches.
In other Friday night action, Canadian junior champion Braeden Moskowy of Regina stayed alive with an 8-5 victory over Toronto’s John Epping, Calgary’s Steve Petryk eliminated Canadian junior finalist Mat Camm of Ottawa 5-4 and Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen, who has captured two of the three previous Capital One Grand Slam championships and also leads the race for the men’s Capital One Cup, knocked out Pat Simmons of Davidson, Sask., 5-1.
