They don’t practice as much. “They don't shoot around and pick up bad habits from back- yard ball,” said Jack Closkey, coach of Stanley Humphries’ senior girls team. The 15th annual girls’ summer basketball camp started Monday at the school, and 88 hoopsters have showed up to hit the recent- ly renovated court. The focus of the ‘camp is a little different than last week's boys camp. “We try to do more on shoot- ing than with the boys, maybe a bit more on basic parts of the game.” There's also a lot of emphasis on foot work and the defensive game. While the boy's camp concen- trates on the power part of the game, the girls focus more on the precision parts of the game. You'll see a lot more lay-ups in a girls game than in a boys. “The game tends to be a little slower, and a bit more refined,” said Closkey. “To a large extent, it’s a differ- ent game played with the same rules and the same fundamentals.” The camps also say a lot about the basketball program at SHSS. For the boys, the biggest group of really solid ball players are younger - about grade seven. The girls, on the other hand, tend to be River Otters rule Greenwood Gators JASON KEENAN Sun Sports Editor And the last shall be first.

Lots of talented kids. Lots of big girls.” He said the program has also been fortunate that a lot of the people who went through it still support it, and help out however they can. “With the girls, we've been fortunate to have lots of people stay in the community and stay THE WALL - Coaches have to be on time too.

Trail took 10 swimmers, and Castlegar took three (two of whom won medals). The Otters had 19 swimmers. And they cleaned up, winning eight medals. “They came in with a good attitude, they had been working really hard, and they had a lot of fun,” said Otters’ coach Tara Paulhus. It was the first time assistant coach had. acted as head coach at a meet. It’s important for the Green- SUN SPORTS PHOTO / Jason Keenan wood meet to go well, since it has a large impact on the team next season. “Tt makes them come back into the next season excited for the next year,” she said. It’s a B- meet, which means that the best swimmers on the team can only swim exhibition, and not for competition. It gives the younger and newer swimmers a chance to get used to the pressure and atmosphere of competition, and a shot at some hardware. “It's a great way to end the sea- son for the kids who aren't going to provincials. They get some rib- bons, and they win some medals.” = Se There's no sitting around at Wednesday, August 19, 1992 The Castlegar Sun * Here's the Aquanauts who won medal The team is sending 26 swimmers to t « ind Provincials bound Is at the regionals meet ‘Aug. 8 and9 in Colville. he provincials this weekend in Abbotsford.

They trounced Beaverdale 19-0, and Copper Mud from Pen- ticton 19-2. Their first game Sunday was against the combination team from Cranbrook and Femie, and it 1-1, and Jim Nazaroff hit in Dean Horning with a sacrifice fly. They had an automatic bye to the finals. Banjo’s beat the heat in Christina while the rest of the teams battled it out on the diamond. After they dried off, Banjo's once again faced the Cranbrook/ Femie team. A two-run homer by Jim Nazaroff, combined with a two-run single by Terry Taranoff gave Banjo’s a 4-1 margin of vic- tory, and the 800 bucks. “It was one of the best teams I've played with in a long time,” said player-coach Taranoff. Though it was mostly a for-fun tourney, the competitive spirit was a live and well. Banjo's not only won the whole tamale; they also took home three of the individual awards. Darcy Dixon won the best batter title with a .500 aver- age, while Daryl Sandback took home the best infielder award. Scott Robinson, a pick-up pitcher from 100 Mile House, was named tourney most-valu- able-player.

It was the first meet for swim- mers Tanya Todd and Carrie Plomondon, and Paulhus said they had an impressive performance. “They have a great attitude about swimming. They come to the practices, and they don’t get discouraged.” Meghan Grant had an impressive showing in the MECHANICAL .

No one compared to Scooter Corkle for pure excitement. “He just wanted that medal,” said Paulhus. He kept asking his ‘ mom if they were in the right place, ; and kept waiting for the posting of ‘ results. His silver should translate ; into a better year next year. “It’s the last thing he remem- bers about the year. It’s going to be that incentive to work for the first meet next year.” The grand finale for both local swim clubs is the Provincials, which start on Friday in Abbots- ford. There are 26 Aquanauts and 10 River Otters are headed to the meet to compete, cither as quali- fiers, alternates, or as relay team members. wy M @ JGrocery =\ Thrifty Gas (supreme gas at a regular price) ¢ Lottery Centre e Grocery _ © Movie Rentals ’ 2253 Columbia Ave. Wa 365-5531 = Class - Volkswagen 16 = Tom Hamilton USA ial eevatets beg? i!
