The John Morris-Jim Cotter team fell short of its own expectations by missing the playoffs earlier this month at the Tim Hortons Brier in St. John91裸聊视频檚, NL.
A little more than a week later, the Okanagan-based rink gained a measure of redemption with a big win in Port Hawkebsury, N.S.
The 2017 B.C. champs edged Sault St. Marie91裸聊视频檚 Brad Jacobs 1-up on Sunday to capture the Princess Auto Elite 10 title, the fifth event of the season on the Pinty91裸聊视频檚 Grand Slam series.
And the win came in dramatic fashion. With four in the house in the final end, but not sitting shot, Cotter angle-raised one of his team91裸聊视频檚 own rocks to chip out Jacobs91裸聊视频檚 counter for the winning point.
The Kelowna-Vernon team, which also features second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, earned $26,000 for the victory and along with it, a berth in the season-ending Humpty91裸聊视频檚 Champions Cup in Calgary.
