                Lampman School hosted the Southeast District Athletic Association (SEDAA) Playoffs, a 12 team Junior Mixed Curling event, on Feb. 3 and 4. The junior classification of the event means that typically grades seven to nine were eligible to compete although younger students could play if needed.

                Attending the event was a team from Weyburn, Midale, Oxbow, Carievale, Gladmar, Estevan, Wawota, three teams from Alameda, and two teams from the host community of Lampman.

                After the first day of tournament action Lampman #1, Weyburn, Oxbow, and Estevan teams were left to compete on day two of the event.

                Weyburn faced Lampman on Saturday morning on the A-side, while Estevan faced Oxbow on the B-side. Weyburn fell to Lampman and would take on Estevan in the B-side competition. Weyburn would advance to be B-side champions and were given another chance to take on Lampman. Lampman would once again earn the win over Weyburn and this time claim the gold medal within the SEDAA Playoffs.

                Lampman #1 had a strong showing on the Friday and Saturday. The team went undefeated during playoff action to win gold on the A-side. This particular team consists entirely of grade seven students: Lindsay Johnson, Ryder Farnsworth, Kailey Dube, and Hayden Willock. They were coached by Dawn Willock.

                Students competing during the Playoffs were praised for their excellent skills and sportsmanship during the two days of action according to attendees.
