made up of players in grades 8- 10 from Stanley Humphries Sec- ondary School, L.V. Rogers, Kinnaird Middle School, J.L Crowe, Salmo Secondary School and Mount Sentinel Junior Sec- ondary School.

In preparation for the upcom- ing tourney the West Kootenay girls team played two exhibition games this past weekend against the East Kootenay Regional team.

It was a case of the West domi- nating over the East on the court The first game went to the West 66-5 and the second ended in a 57-27 score

“We are prepared, the team works well...they move the ball around well,” said girls Coach, Jack Closkey.

Even though the team has been practicing together for only four weeks, Closkey is surprised how quickly they have developed into a solid team.

“We are a lot better than I though they would become.”

Closkey is confident some of his players will catch the atten- tion of the selection panel at the tournament in Coquitlam.

‘The girls team contains players from Castlegar, Trail, Beaver Val- ley, Grand Forks and Salmo.
