Wi Jeff Evdokimoff wins
five straight to lead SHSS
to third place in AA
tennis provincials

NEWS STAFF

A rebuidling year for the
Stanley Humphries Secondary
School’s tennis team ended

fully last weekend with
a third place finish in the AA
provincial championships in
Kelowna.

‘It’s too bad we didn’t get in-
to the final, but I’m not unhap-
py with the results,” said coach
Barry DePaoli, who saw his
team come within a game of
repeating last year’s second
place finish in the provincials.

“J still think we're at least
the second best team in the
province, even though we
didn’t prove that this year ,” he
said.

Boys singles player Jeff Ev-
dokimoff led SHSS with five
straight match wins.

“That kind of play is really
impressive at this level,” De-
Paoli said.

The boys doubles team of
Mitch Stoochnoff and Graeme
Basson went 6-3, as did the
girls doubles tandem of Jaclyn

Kalesnikoff and Chris Evdoki-
moff.
Okanagan Mission of

Kelowna beat Lambrick Park

of Victoria Sunday to win the
five-team event.

Victoria knocked SHSS out
of the championship after com-
ing from behind in a pair of
matches Sunday.

“The pressure seemed to get
to us at that point,” DePaoli
said. “I don’t think they were
used to that.

“I don't know if we could
have beaten Okanagan Mis-
sion, but I think we were bet-
ter than Lambrick,” he said.

DePaoli said the SHSS girls
doubles team of Ryanna West-
hoff and Laurel Closkey
played a big part in moving the
team into a good position.

“Theyre a B team and they
beat some A teams, which
helped us a lot,” he said.

Westhoff and Closkey fin-
shed with a record of 4-5.

The boys doubles team of
Ryan Vatkin and Marcel
Dusseault had a 5-4 mark.

Overall, SHSS’s record in
the three-day tourney was 31-
24

Kurt Roberts and Wayne
Stoltz went undefeated in two
matches, while their counter-
parts. on the team, Andraya
Hughes and Angela Stooch-
noff, went the other way to end
up at 0-2.

Girls singles player Kelly
Davidoff was 1-4, while she
and Jeff Evdokimoff went 2-3
in mixed doubles.

‘Penticton, Parksville and
Vernon also sent teams to the
event.

Gibson awarded for service,
dedication to local athletics

NEWS STAFF :

Gord Gibson’s long commit-
ment to local athletics has
been formally recognized.

That recognition came Sat-
urday when Gibson was given
the Investors Group Commu-
eed Sport Achievement Awa-
r

“The award is going to a
dedicated volunteer who has
given countless hours of his
time, often in an unsung ad-
ministrative role, to enable
coaches and athletes in our
community to enjoy the bene-
fits of well-organized sport ac-

tivities,” said Bob Gurney, a
physical education instructor
at the College.

Since arriving in Castlegar

volved — as a coach, official
and executive member — in
biathlon, swimming, cross-
country skiing and girls soft-
ball.

A Wildland Recreation in-
structor at Selkirk, Gibson
couldn’t be reached for com-
ment Monday.

The award was presented
as part of a coaching confer-
ence held at the College.
