reality they were not much of a
match as Salmo crushed the
Rockettes down to a finely
mulched pile of chips and dust

Jack Closkey, Coach of the
SHSS Senior Girls said his team
is in the process of building on a
small number of veteran players
from last year, while Salmo is
continuing an a roll that was start
ed last year with the same players.

“They are a very good team, all
their players are back from last
year. Right now they are in mid
season form,” Closkey said.

That mid season form, at this
early point in the season, enabled
the Salmo squad to dominate the
game from the start to the final

In order to qualify for the yank
each team must have at least thre
junior players between 16-20 year

juniors on the team this year so
there is no problem in qualifying

Salmo showed their many
strengths on the court. Shooting,
ball control, a strong offence and
an impressive defensive line-up
were among the advantages in
favor of the Salmo team.

En route to their 64-26 win,
Salmo put all their skills to use
finding many ways of breaking
through the Rockettes defence
On the other end of the court the
Stanley Humphries team was up
against a mighty defensive wall
that they couldn't break through

Biathlon try-outs nearing

Submitted

The Kootenay Region Winter
Trials for biathlon will take place
near Castlegar on Saturday, Jan. 8
The Winter Games are being held in
Smithers from March 10-13

This will be only the second time
in the games for the sport combin
ing cross country skiing and shoot
ing. With Canada’s national team on
the threshold of Olympic medals in
Norway in February, and with four
BC. biathletes on the national team
or national development squad, the
timing could hardly be better

In a biathlon race, competitors
will ski a loop, take five shots at
knock-down targets, repeating the
process four times until the end of
the race. For every target missed, the
racer must endure penalty time
added to total skiing time, or ski an
extra distance

(under 17) will shot in the prone
position and will not cary their rifles.
Because the games will attract
many beginning skiers, leaving the
rifles at the range reduces the chance
of serious accidents occurring on the
course. The athletes will be handed
their rifles and a loaded clip only
after they are in shooting position at
the range. Older biathletes will carry
their rifles on their backs while they
ski around the course and shoot in
both prone and standing positions.
The biathlon event at the
Smithers Winter Games is open to
anyone aged 13 and up’ Interested
athletes should be able to cross
country ski (freestyle), own their
own rifle (22 calibre), and have the
necessary permits to carry the
firearm (or parent if under 19)
There will be a $10 fée to enter the
trials. Athletes myst also be mem-
bers of Biathlon B.C.

Trinity Western University came
to town as guests, and completely
took advantage of the Selkirk Col-
lege teams’ hospitality.

But Selkirk College Men's
Coach Mike Perra is still smiling
even though his team lost both
matches agaist TWU. TWU’s
Men's team came into this match
ranked number one in the province
and fourth in Canada without in-
gle loss. In their second match, on
Saturday, his Selkirk Saints team
won One game during the match
and were tied at 13-13 in another
which Perra said was quite a feat
considering the team they were up
against

Before the match, Perra said that
although the TWU team is unde-
feated it would find the going
tough and his team would not be an
easy one to beat

“We did what we had to, they
had to play their starters throughout
the entire match,” Perra said.

While Friday's results didn’t
look good for the Saints team with
losses of 15-6, 15-5 and 15-4, Perra
Said the team sat down and worked
Out a strategy for the following day

On Saturday, the TWU Spartans
won the match 15-6, 15-4, 10-15
and 15-13. Perra said those last two
games made him realize just how
much his team improved since the
Start of the season.

“The team we have is actually
pretty good. I am satisfied with the
group I have,” Perra said

In the final game, ticd at 13

winning and losing could have
been just a couple more side-outs.

Just by the fact that his team
forced TWU to a fourth game, Perra
believes it to be a true sign of what's
to come. “I honestly believe if we
meet them in the play-offs we can
manipulate and them
around. . .(my ers) realize they
will be able to beat them,” Perra said

In Selkirk Saints Women’s

Coach, Ben Spiller.

“After you lost five straight, to

During that final match Spiller

leadership. Mclvor is the team’s
power hitter and picks up some
duties as middle blocker.

As the season progresses the
