That's the question facing Jack Closkey, coach of the Stanley Humphries secondary school senior girls basketball team. Part of his answer may come through competition this weekend at the 1Sth annual Blue and Gold Tournament hosted by the Rockettes. In preparation for the tour- nament, SHSS took its show on the road for an exhibition game in Grand Fork§yesterday and came away with an 80-43 clipping of the Wolves. The Rockettes’ Sherry Makor- toff was the high scorer in the game with 26 points, followed by Kristy Lees and Carilyn Briscoe with 16 each. Responding for Grand Forks was Tammy Clarke with 18 points. Closkey said it was good to get things, like the team’s first game of the 1990-91 season out of the way. “Now we can start to work on things for this season.”’ Last year, the club was a dominating force in the West Kootenay claiming the champion- ship with ease and then going on to place ninth in the AA provin- cials. “This year we're going to drive to become s little more sophisticated,’’ Closkey said. “We want to try to do a few more things that are a bit more advanced, because I've got a few veteran kids. ““We'll be doing some complex things, pressing two or three dif- ferent ways and we'll be changing up our defence and running some specialized stuff on offence. I want to challenge them-a little bit more, that’s why we have a richer schedule with the better teams, because we want to challenge them as much as we can."” €hallenging the squad might be the key to another problem which could arise — complacency within the West Kootenay division. Locally, Grand Forks could give the Rockettes a bit of a tussle on the court, but Closkey said the Wolves don’t have the manpower to beat his squad. Closkey is looking for the Grade 11 players to push the Grade 12s SHSS girls prepare for season Kelly Davidoff practices the layup as the SHSS senior girl's squed gets prepared for the new season. — comiews proie by Steve Posen by having them fight for the star- ting positions. “It puts more competition in the teams,’ noted Lees, one of the veterans returning from last year’s squad. ‘‘It helps us, because we have a really strong bench and they'll be trying hard, and the starting lineup doesn’t are three girls who've played un- der Closkey’s tutelage for the past three years while competing at the senior level.
