Basketball:

Friday, February 6, the men’s team took on the OUC Lakers in a game that, on paper, looked like a sure fire win. It
wasn’t—thar’s why they play the games. In a tough, hard fought battle the men fell 96-92 in OT. Mark Craven had a huge
game for the Royals, dropping 35 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. Jon Fast also had a great game, finishing with 27
points and 14 rebounds. Saturday, February 7, The UCFV Cascades swept into New West and ran into a wall. That wall
was Jon Fast, and his 22 points and 10 rebounds lead Douglas to a 61—56 victory. Currently the Royals hold the sixth and
final play-off spot, with a four point lead on the TWU Spartans, who they will take on at TWU in Langley on Friday at
8 pm.

The women's team moved into sole possession of third place in the BCCAA with two wins over the weekend. Friday,
February 6, the Royals destroyed the OUC Lakers 76-46, behind Carrie Rogers 19 points and 13 points from Stacy
Reykdal. Saturday, February 7, the Royals again massacred their opponent, beating the UCFV Cascades 71-53. Stacy

Outdoor Adventure
Show Hits Van

Mountain biking, ice climbing, backpacking and dog sledding. All of these outdoor
sports will be featured at the Outdoor Adventure Sports Show, February 27, 28 and
March 1 at BC Place.

For those of us who prefer to ogle over the latest, high-tech outdoor sports ‘
equipment, over 200 exhibitors will be showing off their wares. Rock climbing,
sea and white water kayaking and backpacking are just some of the sports that
will have new equipment displayed.

To experience these sports hands on, there will be a 30-ft. professional rock wall,
a 50-ft. demonstration pool (in which you can attempt to roll a kayak), an ice
climbing wall, in-line half pipe and mountain back track to test your skills. If you
are a little too timid to actually try these activities, over 20 free seminars will be
given from the top guides and outfitters in North America.
