GIRLS BASKETBALL

If Stanley Humphries secondary
school is the king of the hill in girls
basketball in this area, Kinnaird
Junior secondary is the ladder SHSS
used to get there,

And, in fact, the junior school has
a hill of its own it can claim to rule.

The Grade 6 to Grade 8 school
proved that again last weekend when
three of its girls teams brought home
championships.

The Grade 8 girls, who went un-
defeated this season, won the West

Kootenay championship Friday in
Beaver Valley.

Then on Sunday, two Grade 7 girls
teams were consolation event winners
at the 24-team Basketsmall Jamboree
in Vancouver.

Add those titles to the SHSS
senior girls team’s bronze medal in
the provincials Saturday in Ar-
mstrong, and that's four girls
basketball titles in one weekend.

Judging by the way they're playing
at the junior level, continued
prosperity at the high school is

almost a given.

“We're certainly a feeder system,"
said Grade 7 girls coach
Closkey, who is married to SHSS
senior girls coach Jack Closkey.

“If the kids are successful at this
level, and if they can go down to
something like that at UBC and see
what happens, that makes them
really keen about the game,’’ she
said.

One such keener the high school
coaches might be a tad interested in
is KJSS Grade 8 student Treena
Goolieff who was named the MVP

of the West Kootenay finals.

KJSS beat Beaver Valley 34-31
Friday to win the championship in
the four-team event. KJSS had
earlier beaten Rossland and Nelson
to advance to'the final.

“She played unreal,’ Grade 8
coach Carolyn Catalano said about
Goolieff. “She had four fouls early
in the (championship) game, so she
had to play exceptionally well to stay
in the game.

“I was really proud of them all,
they were missing some players and a
couple got fouled out, so they really
had to dig down deep. They really
wanted it."”

Shawna Harshenin led the KJSS A
team in scoring at the tourney.

The B team, coached by Sunny
Baker, finished 13th overall with a
2-3 record in the round-robin and a
2-1 record in the playoffs.

The B team beat Surrey 13-8 in the

consolation final,

Danielle Gagnon was the B team's
big gun on offence during the tour-
ney, said Closkey,

Closkey, whose team won the
event last year when it was an eight-

team tourrfament, said with 24 teams
entered this time, fifth place overall
is a comparable finish. i

The A team also had wins over
two schools from Surrey, two from
Vancouver and one from Vernon.
The team lost to Prince George.

Verzuh a winner of 5th
draw in seniors curling

By BUD LOWTHER

Mike Verzuh’s rink won four
times against one loss to win the
recently completed fifth draw in the
Castlegar Pensioners Curling Club.

A technician and easy slider on the
ice at the Castlegar Curling Club,
Verzuh remains at the top of his
game — and brings out the best in
his rink mates — at age 80.

Verzuh, who is also a former local
golf pro, was backed up in the vic-
tory by lead Zeke Clements, second,
Hank Schellenburg and me.

With three wins, a tie and a loss,

the rink skipped by Curt Waterman”

came second.

Just one four-game draw remains
in the seniors league.

With vast improvement made by

many of the curlers over the season,
playoffs should be a battle.

The league, which has lost a few
of its members to illness and death
this year, encourages new players to
get involved.

Curl Canada_runs ‘a course here
every year for beginners and those
looking to improve technique. Our
motto is you’re never.to old to learn.
