Gord Parker’s mixed rink scored an eight ender in the third end of their Friday night mixed ladder game. Playing yellow rocks, and leading 4 to 1 in the game (with the hammer), he decided to try to win the eight ender rather than draw to score three points in the third end. He had to throw a raise takeout using one of his rocks, which was scoring in the four foot ring, to remove an opponent’s stone sitting 4^th shot in the back eight foot ring. His shooter, meanwhile, had to angle off this raised rock and remove the other red rock which was sitting as 3^rd shot in the eight foot ring on the other side of the house. The shot was called, thrown, well swept, and successful. It was a first for everyone on the rink.
