The Devils open the playoffs at home next weekend against Trail. REBELS _READY _ The Castlegar Rebels start the KIJHL season at home Friday against the defending champion Nelson Maple Leafs. Game time is 8 p.m. at the Community Complex. NEWS STAFF Winning your own volleyball tournament is becoming a popular thing to do in the West Kootenay. Last week, the Stanley Hosophries senior boys looked good before the home crowd when they captured the NRS Realty Inyitational at e high school. * water weekend, the Mt. Sentinel senior girls did the SHSS boys one better when they defeated the four-time defending champion to take their own Kootenay Volleyball Classic. Sentinel coach Joe Moreira said his squad improved from last week’s win at the NRS tourney. “We were a much better team over the course of our tournament than we were last week,” he said. “Our serving was consistent and, more importantly to me, we were a much better passing team.” Facing teams from the Okanagan and East and West Kootenay, the Wildcats had to work for their second tournament title in a row. After shaking off a stubborn Immaculata squad from Kelowna Sat- urday, Sentinel moved into the semi-final for a match with Trail’s J.L. Crowe that afternoon. : : Looking to avenge a loss to Sentinel in last week’s final, Moreira said Crowe played the hosts even in the early going. : “It was developing into a very good match,” he said. “It looked like both teams were ready for it.” ; Trailing 8-6, Denise Yee moved to the serving line for Crowe in game one and wowed the Wildcats with nine straight points for a 15-8 win. “At that time I had some real reasons for concern,” Moreira said. But that concern soon disappeared after Crowe’s hopes were dealt a nasty blow by an injury to a key player. “An unfortunate thing happened to Crowe,” Moreira said. “Kelly McLeod sprained her ankle with the score tied 4-4 (in game two). “They weren't the same after that and we went on to beat them con- vincingly. J.L. Crowe quite clearly missed Kelly.” j Sentinel finished with an 8-15, 15-8, 15-4 win to earn a date with Springvalley of Kelowna in the final. The Spartans had the edge heading into the final, as they had de- feated Sentinel in the round-robin Friday. But the mastery they had displayed then was nowhere to be found in the big game. “They looked as bad in Saturday’s final as we did in Friday's round- robin match,” Moreira said, as the Wildcats cruised to a 15-9, 15-8 win. Springvalley coach Tammy Anderson said with the burden of four consecutive titles hanging over their heads, the Spartans buckled. “They were under a lot of pressure and basically they broke under that pressure,” she said. Still trying to figure out who will go where, Anderson said she toyed Wildcats spurn Spartans in Kootenay Classic with the lineup through the tournament and only used her best six in the final. : “I looked at this tournament from a development perspective,” she said. “(Experimenting with the lineup) backfired in the sense of not winning the Sentinel tournament, but it didn’t backfire as far as my long term goals are of making it tothe Provincials.” The Stanley Humphries senior and junior girls and junior boys all must have been thinking five, as they each finished fifth. In other action, Maillard of Coquitlam beat Mt. Sentinel 15-10, 15- 10 in the junior boys final while Springvalley knocked off Maillard 15-10, 6-15, 15-11 in the junior girls final. ; News photo by Jonathan Green Matt (6) and Eric Chernoff of Mt. Sentinel stuffed this Maillard block Saturday, but it wasn’t enough as the Coquitlam visitors won 15-10 15-10. NEWS STAFF Schools from the Lower Mainland and other parts of the country got a little taste of what volleyball in the Kootenays is like over the weekend. Competing in a 40-team tournament at the University of British Columbia, both the Stanley Humphries and Mt. Sentinel senior boys turned heads in Vancouver, finishing fourth and fifth respectively. “They didn’t expect anything from the Kootenays,” SHSS coach Don Lust said. Fresh from winning their own tournament last weekend, the Stanley Lambrick Park. Humphries boys started things off Friday But the streak ended there, as the Stanley Humphries, Mt. Sentinel senior boys make some believers at UBC with a two game win over Quesnel. Next up was a match with eventual champion Stratford Central of Ontario, and the locals went down fighting. “We were the only team to take them to three games,” Lust said of the 2-1 loss. “We gave them the best run for their money.” The team rebounded Saturday with wins over Vancouver’s Sir Winston Churchill and Rutland and Springvalley, both of Kelowna. They then knocked off No. 1 Georges Vanier of Courtenay in the quarter-final for a berth in the semi-final with Victoria’s Islanders beat Lust’s lads in two straight. The loss sent them to the bronze medal game against Kelowna’s K.L.O., their sixth match of the day, and Lust said it showed. “Both teams were extremely tired,” he said, adding that a 14-10 lead in the third game ended up as a 16-14 loss. Lust said he was very encouraged with the showing, especially as there was nothing unique about the SHSS attack. “We used a very basic offense,” he said. “To place that high with just a basic, it gives us lots of room to improve.” SHSS’s Lee Malinek and Sentinel’s Theo Latkin were named tournament all-stars.

Tom Kats, Mates pick up wins and inch closer to TFFL leading Bulldogs NEWS STAFF Stuck in a mild slump, the Dam Inn Mates needed a bit of a boost in Trail Flag Football League action, and they got it courtesy of the Trail Hawks. Losers of their last two games, the Mates were at home to the winless Hawks Sunday and did themselves a favor by extending Trail’s los- ing streak to six to the tune of 46-28. In doing so, the Mates were able to stay one game back of the Castlegar Tom Kats, who upset the previously undefeat- ed Trail Bulldogs in the Smelter City, 24-8. Mate Dave Loukianow said the game wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. “Most of the points they got was when they were about 30 points down,” he said. “It nev- er got that close.” The Hawks game plan looked to be shutting down Mate Dom Droucker. And while they were hold- ing Droucker to just one touch- down, the Hawks forgot about Ian McMillan, who exploded for four majors in a Mate aer- ial attack. TRAIL FLAG FOOTBALL LEAGUE (As of Oct. 7) WL F AP Bulldogs 5 1128 6910 Kats 4°21511048 Mates 3 31371756 Hawks 0O 6 86 1540 “It was mostly long yardage, the deep passing game,” Loukianow said. “They just weren't able to cover Ian and Dom.” Meanwhile, the Tom Kats built a stone wall when they emerged trailing 8-6 at the half, shutting the league’s No. 1 team down completely. At the same time, they put 18 points on the board en route to victory. Tom Kat Tom Campbell said the win was a result of a total team effort. He said that the offensive line gave quarterback Gord Sandrin plenty of time to work while the defence didn’t allow the Bulldogs to get anything going. “We just put everything to- gether,” he said. Dave Terhune paced the Kats with two touchdowns while Clay Martin and Daryl Bojecko added one each. Ron Coe had the lone major for the Bulldogs. The Tom Kats travel to Vancouver this weekend for the provincial championships while the other three teams take the long weekend off. SHSS field hockey teams get a look at some older and younger competition se News photo by Jonathan Green Trudy Clow (7) and Wendy Closkey give chase to a Rossland ladies player during a match last weekend. The ladies defeated their younger opponents, 2-1. NEWS STAFF Stanley Humphries junior and senior girls field hockey teams got a good idea of where they stand last weekend. Hosting their annual tour- nament at Kinnaird Park, both squads had a look at com- petiton younger and older. The seniors finished at .500, winning one losing one and tyingone. — They started off with a win over a junior-senior squad from Kelowna’s Mt. Boucherie 4-1 Saturday, dropped a hard fought 2-1 decision to the Rossland ladies later on and ended the day with a scoreless draw against the Rossland se- nior girls. Senior Wendy Closkey said it was a good weekend all around. SS Ras NAS She said although they dropped the game to the ladies, they weren’t upset. “It wasn't disappointing we lost because they know how to play,” she said. Closkey said the tie with the Rossland senior girls was just as good as a win, as they had lost 5-0 to the same team just two weeks ago. “We had lots of chances to score and so did they, so it could have gone either way.” The juniors ended the tour- nament with a 1-3 record, but coach Ann Clow was generally happy with the weekend. They faced off against Mt. Boucherie in the opener Fri- day, dropping that one 4-1. They were back in action Saturday morning, this time being doubled 4-2 by the Ross- ea AT A SIT ik! ne ss land juniors. They finished the tourna- ment in a pair of 2-0 shutouts, losing the first to the Salmo ju- niors and winning the second over Trafalgar of Nelson. Clow said the team is look- ing better each time they take the field, but their positional play is still needs work. “I think the forwards have to play forward and the de- fence has to play defence,” she said. Clow said the progress the team has shown is obvious and that things will get even better over time. “I’ve seen improvement in most of the players since they've started,” shesaid. “You can see them thinking, but for the skills to: work it takes time.” Local back nine seeing Steady stream of seniors @ Pensioners continue with local golf action and hand out awards Bud Lowther NEWS. CONTRIBUTOR On Sept.17, 47 pensioners played the back nine at the local course. Frank Holdsworth had the nest low - gross with a 40 while Nick Ogloff was runner-up with a 41. Ball winners for low net were Zeke Clements, Norm Fishwick, Al Laranko, Gord Pettit, Kare Gjennestad, Alec McKinnon, John Moran, Ben Thor-larsen‘and Arnie Aksel- son. The emcee pointed out that things would be much easier to organize if we played golf with whoever came along rather than se- lectively choosing our part- ners. On Oct.1, 54 pensioners gathered to play the back nine and there were trophies up for grabs. The Schiavon Trophy went to Otto Walker who shot a gross 42, as did Bob Moffat. Walker won by retrogression. The Evans Trophy for low net went to Bill Oleski with a 30 Other ball winners for low net scores were Floyd Bacon, Gord Pettit, Mike Bermel, Andre La Marche, Charly Christiansen, Morris Waite, Ben Thor-Larsen and Bob Foubister. The pro says that the only redeeming thing about my golf swing is the wide stance. I will never get blown over in a high wind. Tomorrow we will play for the Anderson Silver Plate. Things will be looked after by Burak, Price and Moran. If you wish to curl with the pensioners this winter, please put your name on the list, which should be posted downstairs at the curling club.
