The playoff tournament, a three-day affair, saw the Rock- ers lose their first game, then record two wins to enter the final through the back door of the double Knockout competi- tion. In their Thursday night game, the Rockers took on the J.L. Crowe Hawks of Trail. That game saw the two teams play quite evenly in the-first half, then the Hawks took advantage of Rocker foul trouble to open up a 10-point lead, only to have the Rockers stage a late comeback, losing Tom Thor-Larsen led the Rocker attack with 15 points, followed by Ed Adams and Bryan Carmichael with 10 points each and Andy McDon- ald and Greg Heuer with eight points each. On Friday, Stanley Hum- phries took on the L.V. Rogers Bombers, who had lost their opening round game to Cran- brook 64-50, The Rockers used tough defense to control the Bomber attack and went to the dressing room at half-time with a 30-9 lead, Nelson's normally high scoring Ed Cavanaugh was held to five points, all in the fourth quarter, as the Rockers breezed toa 56-25 win. Greg Heuer's 18 points paced Stanley Hum- phries while Bryan Carmichael and Gord Zaitsoff contributed 10 points and seven points respectively. The win kept the Stanley Humphries tournament hopes alive, forcing a rematch with Trail, 68-60 losers to Cranbrook ’ ritish Columbia, Elections are ‘to be discussed at the Saturday raneeting. ‘The province has needed a :fleet the views and endeavors of horse-people in the province All riding clubs, breed or- nizations and interested indi- viduals are welcome to attend ‘this first Kootenay region or- anizational meeting. Creston was chosen as a central point of the area and jeetings which follow will piternate between East and West Kootenay centres, on the ch ip side of the draw. Cranbrook, with a 2-0. record, advanced directly to the championship game. The Rockers’ third game proved to be a battle to the finish as a loss meant elimina- tion from further play. The J.L. Crowe team jumped to an 11-point first-quarter lead, capi- talizing on the Rockers’ ex- cessive fouling. The Rockers changed their game plan in the second quar- ter and used tough defense and lots of hustle to come back within five points at the half. The second half was a seesaw battle that saw the lead change hands several times. Greg Heuer put Stanley i Greg Hever Named to All-Stars Sr. Rockers Lose to Cranbrook ahead to stay with two free throws in the last minute of play. The final score was 61-59. One of the key factors in the win was Gord Zaitsoff's outstanding defensive job on Trail’s Dave Cristofoli. Zaitsoff held the six-foot-six-inch Cristo- foli to 12 points. Scoring for the Rockers were Bryan Carmi- chael, 16 points, Greg Heuer, 18 points, and Andy McDonald with 11 points. Appropriately, the final game of the zone playoffs was a superb display of basketball, The two teams were extremely evenly matched as reflected the quarter-time score of 16-16 and the half-time score of 26-26, The Rockers pulled ahead by six points early in the second half, but then experienced a scoring drought that allowed Cran- brook to catch up and lead 41-39 after three quarters, Playing a second, highly intense basketball game in one day began to take its toll and the Rockers got into individual and team foul trouble.~Cran- brook scored seven of 13 fourth- quarter points on free throws and gained a hard-earned 64-58 victory.
