Gushue Overpowers Young in St. John's Brier Showdown

Gushue shot 90% as his team dominated the second half of the nine-end game, taking the lead after stealing two in the fifth end. Despite Young's impressive start, including a clutch double takeout in the second, the future of the sport is secure with the 23-year-old skip leading the charge.

In other Brier action, defending champion Brad Jacobs continued his strong run, defeating rookie Jayden King 8-4. Jacobs' squad appears to be peaking at the right time as they look to defend their title in Newfoundland.
