After Saturday's stunning come-back 5-4 victory over Trail, Sunday saw them lose what some Spectators called their best game of the season, 1-0 to Nelson Savoy. “I'm not going to put my head down and hide my face,” said Devils’ Coach Carlos Amaral. “We weren't embarrassed by Nelson - they didn't carry the play, they didn't make fools of us. It could have gone either way.” Castlegar kept play in the Nel- son end for most of the first half. Nelson came out strong in the second, but it all came down to capitalization. “They had one chance, they scored. We had ours and it didn't go in,” said Amaral fatalistically. “That's the way it goes." The Devils were riding high when they pulled in to Nelson Sunday. The day before, Castle- gar won after goalie Scott Harri- son stopped two of Trail's five shots in the shoot out. With cight minutes left in the game it was 4-2 for Trail. "By that time, I thought the game was history, there was hardly any hope.” Amaral said his players showed their stuff then. They refused to roll over and play dead. d season en “Vahid [Pourmokhtari] and Herb (Amaral) scored some pret- ty goals." He added that anyone can put the ball in the net, but they brought the ball up and cre- ated the plays that resulted in the goals.

With only five yellow-cards ‘It could have gone either way’ — CARLOS AMARAL Devils coach _Feret Aoenue Financial Services Taking the JASON KEENAN _ Sun Sports Editor They don’t have a long time to get into the swim of things at the swim team over at Stanley Humphries Secondary School. Their training season started three weeks ago, and their first competition is regionals in Nel- son this Sunday. And with only two hour a week in the pool, compared to the seven to 10 during summer swimming, it’s a steep, short climb. “Sprint,” laughed team co- coach Marie Seghers, when asked what a team works on in that short a time. “Events are all shorter than summer club races. They're all 50 metres, except for the 100 free style.” Seghers, who coached the Robson River Otters, said the shorter races force her and fellow coach Aimie Chernoff to use a training technique than is used in sum- mer swimming “The focus is on anaerobic training. We're focusing much more on getting in to sprinting much more quickly.” Because of this emphasis, size and strength sometimes wins out over skills in competition “You see a lot of people whose strokes are not up to par, but since it’s sprints, they have the power,” added Seghers.

By concen- this Sunday, SHSS will face competition from Nelson, Trail and Grand Forks. Chernoff said summer swim gives the SHSS swimmers a bit of advantage With a lot of team members who swam on the Aquanauts and River Otters (the two local swim clubs), it’s a matter of tuning up those skills and build- ing up strength as quickly as possible “In the past, we've done real- ly well. It’s not hard to do since the other teams don’t have a lot of summer swimmers.” The teams double philosophy might translate into regional wins that will send swimmers to the provincials on Nov. 14 Chernoff emphasized the tan- dem role of fun and work. “It's a high school team, it's fun to have fun, but you come out and still have a good cardio workout “It’s what you want it to be You can have fun, and still do well.” Submitted Ladies trating on the game, the Devils avoided getting in to the refs’ bad books.

They came out at the half up 20-6. “We got a little slack right around the time of the pushing and shoving,” said Campbell. That Pushing and shoving was a bench- clearing brawl that broke out in the second half after one of the Mates charged one of the Kats. “All hell broke lose then,” said Campbell. Playing with only a 10 man squad (nine after Mate. Jerry Kabatoff and Kat Graham Menzies were ejected) the Kats were a bit short-handed in the donnybrook. Two Mates TDs came just before and just after the incident, but after the second the Kats made a point of getting back in to the game. “We played together, even as a limited squad.” And the game sets the Kats up for what will be the game of the season — a battle for first place with the Bulldogs this Sat- urday at Kinnaird Park. And besides making sure they have a full squad out to meet the Dogs, Campbell said his game plan won't change much. “We'll just go in there and Play aggressive.” Selkirk cross-country Sun Sports The Selkirk College cross- country runners met with success this past Saturday at Royal Roads Military College in Victoria. Barbora Brych finished sec- ond in the womens four kilome- tre race, Vernon Remesz took third in the mens eight kilometre, while the mens team took second place over all. “We did not too bad,” said Coach Derek Peregrym. The meet was also a qualifier for the inter-provincials, to be held.two weeks from now at Okanagan College in Kel ¥ Both Brych and Remesz quali- fied for the meet, as did Karl Schneider with his tenth place finish.

The two extra forwards played more than any other guys.” The team started skating and working hard after Rocket Tom Veselic took a hard hit in the cor- ner and left the game on a stretcher. He was back at the rink by the end of the game sporting neck brace and pocketing pain- killers. After that happened, the Rebels started moving a bit, and came out of the period up 3-2 on 4 goal by Damen Pottle. Sauer saved his compliments on the game for the céntre. “Pottle was the only one going out there.” It was Pottle’s hustle and drive that helped the team get Jerry Holz (27) slides one just wide of the mark. past Golden goalie Shawn Newsome.

Playing five minutes of solid hockey in a 60 minute game won't translate in to a lot of wins once the team faces tougher opposition than Golden. “It was more laziness showing up to me than the hard work, wanna score, wanna be here atti- Rebels send Golden into orbi tude,” said Sauer.
