Many sports are in the process
of preparing for the B.C. Sum
mer games, and volleyball is no
exception, A try-out camp held
at Mount Sentinel! Secondary
School over the weekend filtered
through 22 players to come up
with the 12-player team which
includes one Castlegar player

“We have a good group, all
with good attitudes,” said Gord
Sookaveiff, coach of the girls
under 16 Regional team.

The Under 16 Zone | team is
made up of 12 players and three
alternates, all from the East and
West Kootenays. They have been
combined together to make the
strongest possible regional team
The alternate players will prac
tice with the team but will only

attend the games if another team
member is unableto play

Castlegar's representative on
the team, Lisa Fomenoff is a
Stanley Humphries Secondary
School student who eared her-
self a spot with the B.C Summer
Games bound group. The group
will be competing against teams
from all areas of B.C., in Chilli
wack from July 22-26.

Other members of the team
are from: Nelson (2); South Slo.
can (2), Winlaw (1); Fernie (2);
Kimberly (3); and Cranbrook
(1). The alternates are from Nel-
son (2) and Trail (1)

Sookaveiff had seen most of
the players from the West
Kootenay in action through their
regular high school season
games before the try-out camp,
but had not seen the candidates
from the East until the start of

the camp. “I was impressed by
the girls from the East Koote
nay,” he said. Usually the play
ers in the West’ Kootenay
schools are stronger because
there is a larger pool of students
to draw from

The one limiting factor which
might put the t/West Koote:
Nay team at a disadvantage at the
games in Chilliwack is the
amount of travel time the girls
must endure to be able to prac
lice as a complete team.

“We are faced with the prob-
lem of distance in getting the
team together on a regular
basis,” Sookaveiff said.

The Lower Mainland and
Fraser Valley teams are able to
practice on a continual basis,
working on team development,
and not just as individual players
practicing on theit own

While all the girls should be
continually polishing and honing
their skills, having the opportuni
ty to practice as a full squad will
ensure the players become
accustomed to the style of other
members, many of who had
never met @ach other before this
past weekend, let alone play vol
leyball together, The team will
only have two opportunities to
practice together before the
Summer Games in July
Sookaveiff plans to get his team
together in Cranbrook for a full-
day training session in June and
one more two-day work out
camp before the actual games
take place

When he does manage to coral
all his players into the same
gymnasium, Sookaveiff said,
“We'll work on teamwork when
we finally get together.”

The players were put through many drills to see who
would make the regional team. SUN SPORT John Van Putte

Stanley Humphries golfers ready for Provincial tourney

JOHN VAN PUTTEN
Sun Sports

Practice makes perfect
That's the hope of the Stanley
Humphries golf team.

The students made a trip to
Kamloops to get a preview of
the Rivershore course on
which they will be playing-the
Provincial High School Tour-
nament May 25-26.

“We, had four scores in the
70's, olr team total was under
300, so it was a good learning
experience,” said SHSS golf
team coach, Bill Lunn

Playing a practice round
differs greatly from the high
pressure situation at a provin-
cial competition. The pressure
will be alleviated slightly
because the team now knows
what the course has in store
for them.

“It’s difficult to assess, they
were relaxed and there was no
pressure. The weather was
perfect,” Lunn said.

Even though they are now
familiar with the course, the
actual day of the event could
have some surprises in store
for the golfers.

Lunn is expecting the
weather on the course to be
very windy.

While the hope is for the
weather to be co-operative,
golfers are always at the mercy
of changing weather patterns.

Coach Lunn is certain about
one aspect
strong

there will be some
competition at the 22
team tourney, mainly from the
Kelowna and the Lower Main
land schools. But
hand, he has
member

on the other
confidence in the
of his team

If they play up to their
potential, | think our kids are
going to good
chance.”

The course will be challeng
ing and the choice of tee and

have a

pin placement on the tourna
ment days will determine the
magnitude of difficulty of the
course

“It's a very interesting
course, it can be altered by the
tee box and pin placement,”
Lunn said.

As the players make their
way through the course there
will be subtle changes from
one hole to the next, that will
pose different problems. “It's
a good course for thought and

planning of each shot,”
