Tops of east and west Kootenay meet

JOHN VAN PUTTEN
Sun Sports

It was the girls from the East
Kootenay and the boys from the
West that dominated and took
their respective titles in the Koote
nay All-star Basketball games this
weekend at Stanley Humphries
Secondary School

While the girls game was close
right until the final buzzer, the
boys all-star game was so one
sided the SHSS score clock tilted
as.the game progressed.

“They (the West all-stars) did a
good job closing the gap...we
made the best of the last 1:20.
The close game made it interes
ing for the fans,” said East Koote-

SHSS Athletes
of the Month
Ryan Vatkin
Wendy Closkey

nay Girls All-star-coach Bill
Stephens, from Mt, Baker Sec
ondary School in Cranbrook.

A close score kept’ the fans on
the edge of the bleachers waiting
to see who would take the lead
with the next basket

The west opened up an early
lead in the game, 11-8 at the end of
the first quarter. The lead was quick
to change sides with the east taking
over at the half-time break, 24-23.

The one point spread stayed con-
Stant throughout the third frame
with neither team opening up much
of a lead. Another quarter came to
an end with the scoré 34-33.

Hoping the strategy of calling a
well timed, time-out with 1:58 left
in the game would help the west

Ryan is finishing his third year
on the senior boys basketball
team. Since he started on the
team as a grade ten he has
never disappointed. He
always comes to play and
provide leadership as well as
acting as the backbone of the
senior Rockers.

Wendy was the top.seorer on
the senior girls basketball
team this year. She provided
excellent leadership for the
team. She had a tremendous
finale to her high school
basketball career.

Congratulations
Ryan & Wendy

close the six point gap in the score,
Jack Closkey, the coach for the
West Kootenay all-stars grouped
his players for some team pls
ning. It was the right choice
west closed the scoring gap and
the game was tied with 1:21.40 go.
Bill Stephens; seeing his team
Start to lose their momentum
called a time-out to give his play
ers a chance to catch their breath
His time-out proved to be'the best
choice for the team. The east
scored the next four points and
held their lead for the remainder
of the game for the 46-42 victory,
Playing on the West Kootenay
All-stars from SHSS were
Stephanie Rezansoff; Rhonda
Dawes, Lisa Datchkoff; Wendy
Closkey; and Tamara Rezansoff
The boys all-stars ran the floor
and the kept the scorekeepers busy

racking up a 35-17 first quarter score
The scoring ball was on.a roll

for the west, they kept racking up~*

point afler point to the 65-41 half
time score

Nothing could slow down the
scoring machine from the west
during the remainder of the game
It was 100-58 at the three quarter
mark of the game and the final
score was 135-85

While the height advantage
was in favor of the East All-stars
it was proof that you have to have
talent and not just height to be an
outstanding basketball player.

Members of the West Koote-
nay All-star Boys team from
SHSS were: Ryan Vatkin; Marcel

seault; and Dan Kooznetsoff.
Filling in for the shortage of
players on the East team was Jeff
Moffatt

The 92/93 season has been great

the Old Koot Race and, of course,
the great food and beautiful snow
was always plentiful!

Alas; all good things have a
way of drawing to a close and
such is life at Whitewater. The
final day of operation for the
92/93 season is Sunday, April 4.
This spring season, however,
does not go out like a lamb.
There is the Annual Beach Party
Weekend on April 3, and 4
There is something for everyone:
the infamous Season Pass Hold-

Dummy Downhill Race.

Everyone is welcome! So put
