Last weekend’s trip to Calgary pr-
oved very successful for the Stanley
jes secondary scheol senior

girls basketball team.
The locals came away with the
Division II Silver Beil championship,
hosted by Southern Alberta Institute

Voting for the position of goalten-
der is the tightest. Calgary’s Mike
Vernon has received 118,295 votes,
good for a lead of just underr 12,000
over Curtis Joseph of St. Louis.

Balloting ended Dec. 17 and final
results will be announced shortly.

At the beginning of November there were 11 participants interested in
making the weight lifting team at Stanicy Humphries secondary school. But,
people’s imerest of the sport quickly fizzied and now four remain.

For the four students who've stuck out gruciing hours of lifting and
perfecting their styles, the reward is a trip to this year’s B.C. Winter Games

All four said that the opportunity to travel was part of the attraction to

In the finals, SHSS faced Ron Pet-
tigrew, also of B.C., coming away
with 2 66-59 win.

Kristy Lees and Carolyn Briscoe
led the team offensively in the final
game with 16 and 18 points respec-
tively. Responding for Pettigrew with
20 points was Allison Castleman.

“It was a great tourney,”” said
SHSS coach Jack Closkey. ““The
kids played great, just great. The
Grade 12s really came to life and we
got our intensity back.””

Prior to the final, SHSS had to

dispose of Calgary's Bowness High
School. Briscoe and Rory Perrier fit
up the scoreboard with 16 and 18
points on route to a 61-32 beating.
Melanie Blair was the top Calgary
scorer with 10 points.

Briscoe, as she did throughout the
tourney, led the team im scoring. Her
30 points in the opening game heiped
the locals to a 75-46 whipping of

Sherry Makortoff also heiped

Games.

In 1989, cight lifters from SHSS took two gold, and two silver

However, this year’s team is a little different than in the past — all four

members are in their rookie year.

“They have a chance to get medals,”” said Lenarduzzi. ““But, I certainly
won't expect it and I don’t want them to expect it. It wouldn't surprise me if

they sneek into the medals though."”

All four athictes want to give a good showing of themscives and put
forth their best effort. Of course, they also want some medals too, but being

rookies they realize this will be a difficult task

The two categories all {pur will compete in area, the clean-and-jerk and

the snatch.

Masini will compete in the 65 kilogram novice category, while Hitchens
competes at the same weight and division, on the women’s side.

The other two lifters, 18-year-old Mike Negreiff and 14-year-old Jeff
Lewkowich, will both compete in higher weight classes. Negreiff. an alter-
mate on the provincial team, will compete in the 8Skg intermediate division,
while Lekwowich competes in the novice 90kg class.

All four athletes have formed a bond and a mutural respect for one
another and this is what’s keeping the drive alive in

This interaction between the four has heiped them stick with the sport,

It’s also this same interaction which heips the athictes remain focused
