MAD HATTER 2

 

Men's Volleyball

In men's volleyball, the Douglas Royals are also
ranked fifth nationally heading into the Cana-
dian championships. At the B.C. playoffs, the
team collected the tournament's MVP award for
second year player Paul Funks and an All-Star
selection for rookie Blake Bevan.

Men's Basketball Gold Medal Winner

Another Totem Conference gold medal winner,
and fifth ranked nationally, is the men's basket-
ball squad led by coach Steve Beauchamp. The
Royals defeated Fraser Valley College for the
provincial championship, and had Brent
Henderson chosen as the MVP, Andrew Conway
designated an All-Star, and Randy Stevens
granted an honourable mention.

The fourth Douglas College gold medal was
claimed by women's single badminton player
Lisa Joe. Her number one finish combined with
three bronze medals for the Royals gave the
team an overall third place finish in the com-
bined team event.

One slight disappointment came for the Royals
hockey team, who were the only team to defeat
Cariboo College during the regular season, but

unable to rematch the effort during the playoffs.

The hockey team will still play at the national
championships, thanks to the hosting of the
final tournament by the Totem Conference,
whose members are eligible to send two teams
into each competition.

The Royals will face off against the number
one ranked Canadian collegiate hockey team,
the N.A.1.T. Ooptiks, on March 20 in the
Kamloops Civic Arena.

The final competitor for the Royals at the
CCAA championships will be the strong
curling team, who also captured a silver medal
in the provincial competitions.

Best Show Yet

In total, the Royals put on their best show yet
in the national stage of college athletics,
matching their ten years of previous efforts
of reaching for the number one spot in any
competition.

Betty Lou Hayes, athletics coordinator at Douglas
College, gives credit for her teams’ victories to
the hard work of the players, the determination
of everyone involved and "the best coaching
squad in the province."

"It's an unprecedented realization of a dream for
the Royals," she said. "It's nice to win even one
spot at the nationals, but six? It's just great!"

"Let's hope Douglas College can continue with
a long tradition of fine athletics, and prove
once and for allthat Canadian college athletics
are exciting and entertaining.”

The CCAA championships will be held at a
variety of B.C. campuses between March 20 and
25;
