PAGE 10 THE OTHER PRESS FEBRUARY 9, 1983 Douglas blew one lost one by Martin Hemerik You had to know that Do- glas was going to have a hard time against VCC last Friday when the VCC center step- ped on the court. Gord Clem- ens is one of the main reas- ons that they are undefeated this year. He doesn’t have the best shot on the team, isn’t the best dribbler, isn’t the fastest player and does- n’t seem to be a teem leader. What makes him so good? Gord Clemens is 7’1. His family tree is probably a California Redwood! Offen- sively, Douglas’ Steve Mit- ten did as good a job as you Player’s Extra Light. Enjoy the taste of Player's in an extra light cigarette.

People actually felt sorry for Todd Yano when he tried, at one point in the game to get the ball past Clemens. The VCC’s 2-3 zone defence held out like an impenetrable for- tress and they walked away with and easy 92-52 victory. The Douglas team once again suffered from a prob- lem that has been plaguing them lately; inconsistency. Only Mark White proved to be a consistent player throughout the whole game. The leading scorer for VCC was Clemens with 18 points was Clemens with 18 points. John Deanna scored 26 of Douglas’s 52 points, which wasn't half bad. - On Saturday night Doug- las lost a heartbreaker to Capilano College 73-68 at the Massey gym. It was a game they should have won and it was a game full of ‘what ifs’, what if Douglas hadn’t got- ten the bench foul that cost them 2 points early in the game for an illegal substit- ion, what if Todd Yano had- n’t received four fouls after only 11 minutes of play, what if the clock hadn’t ticked those ten seconds after Klas- sen called a time out for Douglas, what if Douglas hadn’t played as though they never learned how to catch a basketball in the first minute and a half of the game, what if..., the list goes on. Act- ually the margin of victory was really only three points but Capilano sunk a basket just as the final buzzer soun- ded. With only two minutes re- maining in the game Douglas was down by hine points but quickly scored 4 points to cut the lead to 5 and then netted 2 more points with 50 sec- onds showing on the clock but finally Capilano snuffed _out that fire to preserve their victory. For the most part of the game it was seesaw battle with the lead constantly changing hands. The match was highly entertaining and featured excellent teamwork by both sides. Jon Deanna and Corey Galloway scored 19 points each in the losing cause.
