"I never saw myself in curling. That's why I like to say to local kids in Bismarck and across North Dakota, don't be afraid to get out and try a different sport."

THE MORNING BREW
Don't neglect lesser-known sports this Olympics
W with the Winter Olympics in Sochi less than three months away, the U.S. pre-Olympic
trial season has officially started. The first of those trials runs until November 16th in Fargo, N.D., and showcases five men's teams and four women's teams competing to represent America in curling come February. Competition will be heated as only one team from each of the men's and women pools will be selected. While the first place women's team receives an automatic Olympic bid for the U.S., the men's team will still have another qualifying round in Füssen, Germany. From Dec. 11 to Dec. 15, they will compete against other countries hoping to claim one of the
Curling is a relatively new Winter Olympic sport, gaining medal status in 1992, but its history stretches hundreds of years before that. Tracing as far back as the 1600s, curling clubs began to form in Scotland during the 19th century, and the sport spread when Scots immigrated to colder climate countries bringing their beloved sport with them.
Olympic curling matches today are composed of four players on each team, with both receiving eight stones to deliver throughout the game. The 150x16 ft ice surface curling is played on is called the "sheet," and it consists of two scoring zones called the "house." Each house has three concentric circles with a white middle called the "tee," and that tee is the determent of whether a team will score or not. During an "end", which in curling is a round of play, each team will have two players deliver two stones. After a stone leaves the deliverer's hand, two of his teammates are able to sweep the ice
in front of the moving stone with brooms in order to speed it up, slow it down, or even change its direction. All of this is done in hopes of placing the stone as close to the tee as possible. At the conclusion of an end the team with the closest stone or stones to the scoring tee will receive the points. The match is won by the team with the most points after ten ends, and if the score is tied a sudden death end is played to determine a winner.
Odds are that curling won't be on center stage at the XXII Olympics in Sochi with athletes like Shaun White and global sports such as hockey dominating the media and
headlines, but it's still no reason to forget the little guys. Like most athletes, curlers train year round to proudly represent their country in the Olympics, so come February cheer them on like you would U.S. hockey or bobsled. The U.S. men's and women's curling teams aren't favored to medal in Sochi, but with some extra support from fans they could find themselves holding a gold medal for the first time in U.S. Olympic history.

Early in the second half, Asia Boyd found herself wide open at the top of the key. She let her fourth three-pointer of the game go and watched it fall through the net, for the fourth time.
Seconds early on the previous possession, she hit a three-pointer from the corner, en route to an 18-point scoring night on 6-10 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc. Boy helped the Kansas women's basketball team to a 72-56 victory over the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars Wednesday night.
to make another one, so that's just what happens," Boyd said about her shooting performance.
Chelsea Gardner led the team with 19 points on 5-7 shooting from the field and 9-10 from the free-throw line.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that against a smaller team, which the Cougars are, the gameplan was to throw it inside to Gardner.
"I thought we were pretty opportunistic at times with throwing it in to Chelsea," Henrickson said. "Sometimes we missed her."
This left the perimeter players open at times, and the Cougars dared the Jayhawks to shoot the long jump shots. Kansas connected on 6-18 three-point shots.
Kansas led from the beginning, starting the game on a 16-2 run
included Boyd's first three-pointer, two lay-ups from Gardner and a three-pointer by Natalie Knight. The Cougars' only lead was 2-0 on the first basket of the game.

"We've got to get on the glass," Henrickson said. "We've got to get a guard on the glass."
Starting point guard Lamaria Cole had a productive night with new career highs in points, steals and assists. She scored eight points, had six steals and passed out five assists to go along with three turnovers.
The fieldhouse was loudest after her lay-up with 12:32 left in the game. Cole had a steal near mid-court and raced toward the basket and laid it in.

and was unafraid to shoot the ball, but only connected on 1-9 of her shots. She contributed three assists and three steals.
Henrickson said she was pleased by the team's effort, but there are aspects to work on, including offensive rebounding.
"Our effort is where it needs to be, from an energy standpoint," Henrickson said. "They just have to clean up pretty quick, and it's about what's coming."
