We stand by that and we will operate to the best of our abilities.

SUN SPORTS PHOTO /Shariene Imhoff I's timé Tor a rocking road tip and the Stanley Humphries Rock- €fs are out on the road to what they hope will be a provincial title The senior boys will need three straight wins to earn a berth in the final. One thing that is working out in the Rockers favor, is that the number one ranked team, Kerry High from Campbell River is on the other side of the draw, That draw decides which teams will play each other in the earlier matches of the tourna- ment “The draw worked out well for is," said Senior boys Coach John Ritchie . Going into the tourney, Ritchie Says number one ranked Kerry High is going to be the toughest competition. If the boys make it to the final, it will be the first time they meet the Kerry High team. “Kerry High is the cream of the crop, they will be the team to beat,” Ritchie said. SHSS is going into the provin- cial Double A tournament ranked number seven. Coach Ritchie says the teams ranked two through ten are all very evenly matched. “Their height and skill levels are evenly matched.” With everyone so evenly matched, any team could earn a Spot in the final. The thing giving the SHSS team an adavantage going into the tourney is the teams ability to adapt to any style of play. “We can play with (and keep up with) any of the teams,” Ritchie said. In order for the team tg,suc- ceed, they will have to hit a hot streak and carry it through to end the tourney. “We are going to have to be on top of our game,” Ritchie said. Expecting tough competition, Ritchie has worked on a strategy for the team at the end of the game when things are very close. The senior boys have been work- ing on plays that could carry them through to the next round if they find themselves down by a couple of points near the end of a game. Part of the plan is to have a three point play to fall back on might be the difference between winning or losing, according to Ritchie Board of School Trustees INVITATION TO GENERAL PUBLIC The Board of School Trustees of School District No. 9 (Castlegar) invites the General Public to the official opening of the newly renovated and upgraded STANLEY HUMPHRIES SECONDAY SCHOOL MARCH 4, 1993 9:00 AM Tours of the facility will follow.
