The Rockettes ended up in second place in the six-team tourney. ‘ In the deciding game, the Castlegar girls led most of the y, but were unable to contain Trafalgar's big forward, Glenda Jones, who finished the game with 16 points. Seven Rockettes shared in the team's scoring, but poor foul-shaoting, a mere four out of 19 shots, proved to be the differenc: In advancing to the tourna. ment final, the Rockettes de- feated the David Thompson ettes of Invermere 35-32 in our team of stressing fundamentals and tough defense. They under- stand that success comes with hard work and practice. I think the girls can see that they have made good progress. Caroline Zaitsoff played three very strong games this weekend, while Lis Command played very well defensively. The team rebounded well and gained much valuable experi- ence. The Junior Rockettes travel to Enderby this weekend lo participate in the Giant's Head Tournament at A. L. Fortune Secondary. Two weeks from now, the girls play host to five visiting teams in the fourth Annual Hi-Arrow Classic.

One such group, carriers for this newspaper, most certainly merit some nice words at this time. . Through bitter below zero cold for many days, these fine young people were out on their routes in Castlegar and various other district communities. They met the challenge and went about their business without fanfare or fuss. With rare exceptions,\the papers were delivered “almost” on time. And most customers under- stood the problem. We salute the great young men and women who serve routes for this newspaper, par- ticularly at this time of the year. They've’ shown perserverance and responsibility to a high degree.

The girls will get a chance to even things up with the Cranbrook squad when they play at the Nelson tourna- ment tomorrow night. The team seems to be” looking forward to this rematch, as a chance to prove a point to the perennially strong Trojanettes.

Rogers. Rebels Extend Winning Streak By ROY GOETTING Castlegar Rebels extended their winning streak to three by defeating Nelson Juztor Maple Leafs 3 to 1 last Satur- day. The game was the last competition between Nelson and Castlegar in regular at season play this year. I think Nelson will end up with more points than Ross- land. If they do, they will be in the quarter. finals against Trail Junior Smoke Eaters — this will be a best-of-seven series. The Rebels: should finish the regular season in second place, and that would put them in the quarter finals against Grand Forks. The Border Bruins is a hard: team to evaluate. They have beaten the _ Rebels twice this year;- they have also beaten Trail once and “Cariboo College Too Tough For Visiting Selkirk Saints + Selkirk Saints men’s and woinen's basketball teams were overpowered by their hosts in Kainloops Jan. 12-18, finishing a weekend of competition with four losses against the opposing _ Cariboo College teams. : Friday night the Cariboo Chjefs men's squad won 64-43 over the Saints.

David Cristofoli of Trail was chosen the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Last Wednesday, the Rockers travelled to Trail for their first league game of the season. Trail won the contest " 65-56,. After playing poorly in the second and third quarters, the Rockers fourth quarter comeback fell a little short. In the scoring department, Andy McDonald had 17 points, Greg Heuer 15 and Tom Thor- Larsen 14. This past weekend the Rockers took part in the Crowe Cage Bowl in Trail. For the second week in a row, the Rockers turned in a dismal Friday performance and were bombed 80-38 by Salmon Arm. They then rebounded to play a superb game against Trail, even though they were de- feated 61-52. After one game-of rest, the Rockers played K.L.O. Second- ary from Kelowna.

Castlegar and Grand Forks will play each other two more times this year, both games in Castlegar, with to- morrow night's game time being 8:30 p.m. Their next match will be on Feb, 9, To get back to last Satur- day's game, the Rebels got the first goal of the game at 7:25 of the first period when Ken Sherstobitoff scored, assisted by ‘Greg Moroso and Mike Nevakshonoff, Then, at 17:06, Bruce Mar- Shoppers will —_ a tin put the Rebels ahead 2 to 6, assisted by Tim Paul. The referee was from Creston and some think he let too much go unnoticed. But I thought he did a good job. “At the 10:11 mark of the second period, Bruce Martin got his second goal of the night, assisted by Dave Kanigan. Tim Stubbins played his best game this year in goal for Castlegar. I think he should have gotten a shut-out, but the Rebels let down in the second half of the period and Nelson's Marc Centrone was able to get Nelson's only goal at 17:36, assisted by Harold Schamhart and Graeme Douglas. The only statistics in the third period were penalties, Nelson was two players short about midway, but the Rebels were not able to score. Nelson is just too good a team nol to make the play-offs.
