FLIMS, Switzerland -- Winnipegs Braden Calvert and Edmontons Kelsey Rocque are headed for the playoffs at the world junior curling championships after both Canadian teams won their final two games on Sunday, the last day of the round-robin portion of the tournament. Rocque and her rink of Keely Brown, Taylor McDonald, Claire Tully, alternate Alison Kotylak and coach Amanda-Dawn Coderre secured their spot in the Page 1-2 playoff against Korea after defeating both Scotland and Denmark to finish in second place. The Canadians needed an extra end to squeak out a 7-6 win over Scotlands Gina Aitken in their first game on Sunday. Riding a four-game winning streak into the final game of the round robin, Rocque scored a huge seven points in the eighth end to nail down a 12-7 victory over Denmarks Christine Svensen (0-9). "They had an unfortunate break in that end and we were fortunate enough to capitalize," said Rocque about the unusual score of seven. "It was the wrong side of the inch for Denmark with a lot of their stones in that end." The Canadian women enter the playoffs in second place with a 7-2 record behind South Koreas Kyeong-Ae Kim, also at 7-2, who defeated Canada in the round robin. Calvert and his junior mens team of Kyle Kurz, Lucas Van Den Bosch, Brendan Wilson, alternate Matt Dunstone and coach Tom Clasper are also off to the playoffs after wrapping up the round robin with two lopsided victories. The Canadians needed only six ends to dispatch American Jake Vukich 8-1 in a game that Canada controlled from the start. They scored three in the first end and had built a 7-1 lead by the fifth-end break. A steal in six put the game away. "We got off to another good start and had all the momentum the whole game, I think, and we were in control," said Calvert. In their final game of the round robin, Calvert and crew cruised to a 9-1 win over Sebastian Wunderer of Austria who came into the game with a 3-5 record. Canada scored four in the fifth and stole another two in the sixth to put the game out of reach. Norway will play Scotland in the mens Page 1-2 . Calvert finishes the round robin in third place with a 6-3 record and will play the winner of the tiebreaker between Italys Amos Mosaner and Switzerlands Yannick Schwaller in the Page 3-4 playoff on Tuesday. nfl jerseys china .

Wilkerson was docked $15,785 for roughing the passer, while Coples was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness. Both were surprised at the fines, especially since no penalties were called on the field. "I was going to appeal, regardless," Wilkerson said Thursday. "It didnt matter the amount. If it was $5,000, I still wouldve appealed. I dont think it was a dirty hit. I dont think I shouldve gotten fined." Locker was hit by both Wilkerson and Coples in the third quarter of Tennessees 38-13 win Sunday after he threw a pass. Locker was carted off the field and expected to miss a few weeks with a sprained right hip and knee. Wilkerson made contact first after he took a step and smacked into Locker just after he released the football. Coples then hit into Locker low -- "just a football play," he called it -- as the quarterback fell. "The league felt like it was a personal foul or an inappropriate hit," Coples said. "But one thing about it is that its up for debate, so Im going to appeal it, and go forward from here.dddddddddddd" Titans coach Mike Munchak called both hits "unnecessary." "I thought the first one, he dropped his helmet into him and loaded onto him, which youre supposed to pull back when youre late. He didnt," Munchak said Monday. "The second one was totally unnecessary." Locker, however, said he didnt think the hits were intentional, and neither player should be fined. "I personally dont think it was a dirty hit," Wilkerson said. "He said it, so ..." Added Coples: "He felt that same way, and thats a good thing." Wilkerson insisted that being fined for the hit wont change how he approaches his style of play. "I just play hard, physical football like Im supposed to and how I was brought up and taught," Wilkerson said. "Im going to continue to do that and play ball the way I know how to play ball." Titans safety Michael Griffin said Wednesday that he was fined $21,000 by the league for his hit on Jets receiver Stephen Hill, who suffered a concussion. Griffin said he appealed the fine as soon as he received it. Hills status for New Yorks game at Atlanta on Monday night was uncertain. ' ' '
