Athletics Update

 

24-Team Senior Girls Volleyball
Tournament; The Women’s Vol-
Icyball team hosted a 24-team High
School Girls Volleyball Tournament
here Nov. 4 & 5 and thanks to Tim
Frick’s ideas on how to set up four
courts In a previous Lwo court gym
(also athletic department funds to pay
for it), coach Dave Dalcanale only had
to book two extra courts at Burnaby
Central to run his tournament. This
will become an annual event (as long
as Dave Dalcanale is here), and we
look forward to hosting 400+ high
school volleyball players next year.
Hopefully, the carpets won’t be
replaced in the cafetcria on that same
weckend next year. The results are as
follows: Championship Semi-Finals:
Handsworth defeated Notre Dame (2-

0); St. Pat’s defeated Earl Marriot (2-1).

Championship Final: Handsworth
defeated St. Pat’s (2-0; 15-9, 15-9).

loops defeated Gladstone (2-0).

sistant coach, Derek Ruppel, who
scored two goals and assisted on two
others. For the Royals: Al Wall, Mike
Skinner, Abel Verde, Bert Neibergall,
Greg Pritchard and Mike Edwards had
singles. Frank Pakodzy assisted on
five of the six goals.

 

Women’s Basketball: The women’s
basketball team travelled to Mount
Royal College in Calgary this weekend
to participate in a round robin tourna-
ment. Royals faced stiff competition
throughout, and although they finished
with a 1-3 record, they were "in-it"
most of the way, despite not having 3rd
year outstanding rebounder Andrea
Jackson along (injured ankle). In game
one, Douglas College met Cariboo Col-
lege (Kamloops), and led most of the
way until Cariboo came on strong in
the last five minutes to lead by eight,
on strong outside shooting by
Katherine Stewart. Royals applicd a
tight woman-to-woman press to close
within one (68-67), when Janice Halls
went to the line for Douglas College
with three seconds to go. Janice hit
both free throws to win the game 69-68
for Douglas.

Next, Royals faced eventual tourna-
ment champs, Mount Royal. The lead
was exchanged several times in the
first half but the Royal’s shooting fell
apart in the second half, and Douglas
fell to Mount Royal 76-53. In game
three, Douglas College faced Red
Deer, an opponent who had defeated
Douglas College a week earlier by 15
points. In this game, Douglas College
led for the first 35 minutes, when Red
Deer overtook the Royals, who had
gone cold from the floor again, and
were downed 62-57. Tammy Saitz and
Ethel Atte led Royals scoring.

In the final game, Douglas was once
again matched against Cariboo. The
Royals fought much harder in this
game than in the first, leading much of
the way by aslim margin. Cariboo,
once again led by eventual tournament
MVP Katherine Stewart, hung tough
and tied Royal 56-56, sending the
game to overtime, This time, Royals
defense let them down as Cariboo ran
at them hard and won 71-61. Janice
Halls received an all-star for Royals,
and Stephanie MacLellan was runner-
up in the hot-shot shooting contest.

Fred Smith had an excellent tourna-
ment, in winning all 4 of his matches,
including a hard fought win over Garth
Tissington of Malaspina (3-15, 15-7,
15-12). (Garth represented Malaspina
at last year’s nationals.) The mixed
Douglas College team of 3-year
veteran Paul Meyer and rookie Mary
Wong had a fine tournament, losing
only one match to a strong Malaspina
team. The men’s doubles team of
Kenny Kwok and Raymond Chu also
had a good tournament in winning
three out of four matches, losing only
to B.C.1.T. Overall, it was a good start
for Douglas College, in a season where
all the teams (colleges) look very
strong, which will lead to an excellent
and very compctitive badminton
season,
