break to ‘hang-out’, the Stanley
Humphries Secondary School
Cheerleading Squad is busy kee p-
ing its collective toes in the air

The group recently returned
from a strenuous summer training
camp at Gonzaga University in
Spokane, Washington, where they
converged upon the campus along
with approximately 300 other
cheerleaders. Comparing notes
high kicks, and more than a few
difficult stunts, the Castlegar
cheerleaders are back in fown
back in shape, and holding a new
appreciation for their sport

“The camp was excellent. It's
where we learn everything we do
for the entire school year,” said
Castlegar cheerleading captain
Chantelle Sutton.

‘These squads are
really impressive,
and one of the
reasons is they
consist of both
guys and girls,
so they have tke
added strength to
do a lot of great
stunts.’

four-day long training camp as

Sutton added that it's unfortu-

Stanley Humphries are interested in
being part of the cheerleading
squad. When asked why, her
answer was simple and to the point.
“Other guys would bug them.”

Provincial ‘C’ Slo- pitch final

Vernon team defeats Rella’s Rockies to claim provincial: title .

Extra-inning final:
Vernon Duradek Thunder 7
Rella’s Kootenay Rockies 6

SHARLENE IMHOFF
Sun Editor

It was how every final should
be; the most exciting and inspira-
tional game of the tourney.

After extending into extra-
inning play, the teeter-tottering
match between Rella's Kootenay
Rockies from Trail and the Ver-
non Duradek Thunder finally
concluded in a 7—6 final with
Duradek claiming this year's
Provincial ‘C’ Championship.

The game was excellent in
every sense of the word, as each
team worked hard at the plate,
and even harder defensively
Rockies took the lead
early claiming two runs.

Bur the Trait team's tead-was
short-lived-when the Duradek
Thunder pounded back scoring
three runs, then, in later innings,
brought in another two. Rella's
Rockies didn't give up though,
and came back to tie the game
(5-5) at the end of the seventh.

The game proceeded into
extra innings, and the Vernon
team quickly brought in two runs
before Rella’s defensively. ended
Vernon's sudden hitting surge

It was an anxious team that
now took it’s turn at the plate
Rella’s Kootenay Rockies let
loose with some well-placed hits
to bring in one run and place the
tying runner in scoring position.
But the defensive play of the
Duradek Thunder proved too
tough for the Trail team, who
just couldn't push their last run
ner home before the third out

With a runner left on third, the
Duradek Thunder shut down
Rella’s Rockies 7-6 at the bottom

of the eighth inning

Rod Forgo, coach/player for
the Vernon team had high praise
for his opponents. “After watch-
ing this team perform during
round-robin play, we knew they
would be the team to beat in the
final. It was an awesome game.”

Rella’s Kootenay Rockies
coach/player Ernie Rella agreed
that the game could have gone
either way, but was obviously
still smarting from a controver-
sial call on first base which he
felt was in Duradek's favor

“In the end you can't deny that
Duradek played well , and it was
a great game that could have
gone either way,” Rella said

A number of awards were
handed our after the final match,
including Ladies Most Valuable
Player, awarded to Vernon player
Judy Miller, while Ernie Rella
took home the MVP on the men’s
side. Most Inspirational Player
award was presented to Dianne
Ethier, who had an excellent per-
formance at third base for Rella’s

wi

Kootenay Rockies.
