This was the situation that the Royals found themselves in on Saturday as they visited the Capilano Blues to complete their four game road trip, having won the Three previous games including a 92-84 win over Langara on Friday. From the opening tip, the Royals con- trolled both the tempo and the score- board, falling behind only once, 7-6 in the early going. From there, though, the Royals didn’t allow the Blues to build any momentum, and were successful at not allowing many easy baskets off fast breaks or turnovers. They seemed to play more of a ball control game, bringing the ball up court with a sense of purpose. This isn’t to say that the Royals played a perfect game. If they had converted all of their offensive opportunities, the score would have been even more lopsided than the 26 point margin they finished with. In almost every facet of the game the Royals found some success. When they had opportunities to run the court, they did this well, recording a number of points off of turnovers. When they moved the ball around, trying to set up the offence, they were often able to find an open player to put in the easy basket. When a shot was missed, the Royals bat- tled hard for rebounds, converting many second chance shots. Their defense, which was one of the areas that Coach Munro identified as needing improvement at the beginning of the season, allowed just 61 points during the entire game which was a big improve- ment from the first two games of the sea- son, where the Royals gave up well over 80 points in each game. For most of the game, until the score was out of reach, the Royals didn’t allow the Blues much in the way of a fast break attack, forcing them to bring the ball up slowly while the Royals set up their defensive assignments. Capilano coach Paul Eberhardt was so frustrated with his team’s inability to get anything done offensively that, after receiving a technical for arguing with an official and slamming his clipboard to the floor, he removed his black fedora and threw it against the wall. His actions did- nt inspire the Blues who continued to fall further and further behind. Because the Royals had a big lead, Coach Munro was able to use his entire bench, giving players floor time that they wouldnt necessarily see in a close game. In general, he felt that the Royals bench play- ers made solid contributions, and played a large part in the Royals victory. Coach Munro believed that the victory came as a result of “a total team effort.” Five Royals scored in double figures, led by Greg Jackson’s 17 points and Jim Martin’s 16 point night. Taylor Cherris- Wilding had 14 while John Orimaco and Ian Hogan both scored 13. The Royals return home next Friday to face the Kwantlen Eagles in the last league game before the Royals head to Alaska to compete in a tournament over the BCCAA winter break. page 25 ©
