a second-place finish in the senior

Not surprisingly, two of the SHSS’s

“Detroit's bench just wears you down over a series,”’
New York coach Stu Jackson said, “I don’t know of a
bigger; more physical bench than Detroit,

“They just really kept us off-balance the entire
night.”

Meanwhile, the Lakers’ hopes of getting back to the
Western Conference final for the ninth consecutive year
were dashed by the Suns, who rallied from a 15-point
deficit to beat Los Angeles 1064403 for a 4-1 series victory.

The Suns, who beat the Lakers twice in the Forum

Honor is ironic
now for Riley

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles
Lakers coach Pat Riley, the picture of consistency
through nine seasons in the NBA, was named the
league’s coach of the year Monday.

Riley’s teams have won four NBA titles over eight
seasons, including consecutive championships in 1987
and 1988. Yet it is his first coach-of-the-year award,

“I get a lot of credit for not getting enough
credit,”’ he once quipped.

Riley received 52 of 92 votes from a countrywide:
panel of sports writers and broadcasters — three from
each league city and 11 members of the national
media.

Riley, 45, has said that the reason he had never
been honored was that the Lakers were considered too
talented not to win.

Figure this one out if you can.

Why does a team with apparently
everything in its favor self-destruct?

It’s a question the coach of the
Stanley Humphries secondary ‘school
golf team, Doug Hickey, has been
asking himself thesedays.

Wrong. And it wasn’t even close
really.

SHSS finished third, 25 strokes
behind Trail’s J.L. Crowe and 15
behind Nelson’s L.V. Rogers.

During the season SHSS was 1-1
against LVR and had beaten and tied
J.L. Crowe in two meetings.

Hickey was flabbergasted.

“I don’t have any explanation for
it. I thought we were prepared, but
for one reason or another the Pressure

Tt was on the back nine when the
wheels fell off SHSS’s cart, Hickey
said.

“*We looked like we were going to

side. We-had three
kids with 43 coming out . . . and then
we just lost some consistency on the
back side.”

Senior Roger Carlson led SHSS
with an 87 on the par-72 course,
which isn’t good for him, Hickey
said. Junior Jody Carew also shot 87
while Grade 12 player Denise Pottle,
who was the only female in the eight-
team tourney, shot 89. Junior Todd
Archambault and Grade 11 student
Dustin Rilcof shot 89 and 99 Tespec-

Rogers with 340 and J.L. Crowe with
