Not surprisingly, two of the SHSS’s five relay teams to finish in the top three contain a lot of names already mentioned.

Summer Games will have something for all, as long as they qualify

By CasNews Staff

What's your pleasure?

When it comes to sports, the B.C. Summer Games in Prince George July 12-15 will have just about something for everyone.

But you have to qualify if you want to go and throughout May and June there’ll be several announcements for Zone | trials in various sports.

The latest announcements concern trials for two shooting events, orien- terring and horseshoe pitching.

The trials are exclusively for Zone 1 athletes, those who live within an area that includes the regional districts of Central Kootenay, East Kootenay, Kootenay Boundary and electoral part of the Regional District of Columbia Shuswap.

Orienteering is first up with a B meet set for Fort Sheppard Flats (12 miles south of Trail) May 12 and 13. Registrations received before May 9 will get a pre-marked map and an assigned starting time. Those registering late may have to mark

their own course. One day fees range from $3 for a junior to $12 Per family. For information contact Scott Donald in Rossland.

The first of the shooting events, centrefire rifle, will take Place at the outdoor range located north of Ymir at 10 a.m. May 27

Then it’s horseshoe pitching at Kinnaird Park May 26. There will be five classes from A to E in men's and four in women’s. Juniors ages 13 to 17 will compete in one of two classes Entries must be received by May 23. To enter or for information contact Jim or Michelle Feeney in Castiegar.

For those handy with the smaller firearms, shooting small bore trials will be held in Castlegar June 3 at 10

-m. All shooters must be members of the B.C. Smallbore Association but for those who aren't, memberships will be available at the trials. Only 22 calibre riftes are allowed. Scopes and shooting slings are Prohibited. For more information contact Gord Gib- son in Castlegar

while Sharp got his third ribbon of the day along with Harshenin as they teamed up with Mike Esoveloff and Lee Holden to place second in the open boys 4x400-metre relay.

Add a host of thirds and fourths on top of it all and Zielkie couldn’t be happier.

“I think we did really well and I think they had fun, which is the main thing for me,” she said.

The Detroit Pistons had the weapons to wear down Patrick Ewing and the New night, while the Los Angeles against the Phoenix Suns.

“Detroit's bench just wears you down over a series,”’ New York coach Stu Jackson said, “I don’t know of a bigger; more physical bench than Detroit,

“They just really kept us off-balance the entire night.”

Meanwhile, the Lakers’ hopes of getting back to the Western Conference final for the ninth consecutive year were dashed by the Suns, who rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat Los Angeles 1064403 for a 4-1 series victory.

Honor is ironic now for Riley

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers coach Pat Riley, the picture of consistency through nine seasons in the NBA, was named the league’s coach of the year Monday.

Riley’s teams have won four NBA titles over eight seasons, including consecutive championships in 1987 and 1988. Yet it is his first coach-of-the-year award,

“I get a lot of credit for not getting enough credit,”’ he once quipped.

Riley received 52 of 92 votes from a countrywide: panel of sports writers and broadcasters — three from each league city and 11 members of the national media.

Riley, 45, has said that the reason he had never been honored was that the Lakers were considered too talented not to win.

So much for home course advantage for SHSS golfers

By ED MILLS Staff Writer

Figure this one out if you can.

Why does a team with apparently everything in its favor self-destruct?

It’s a question the coach of the Stanley Humphries secondary ‘school golf team, Doug Hickey, has been asking himself thesedays.

‘Through the season, his team had a perfect $-0 record Playing at the Castlegar and District Golf Club, so when the West Kootenay Champion- ships began there Monday afternoon Hickey had to figure his team had a Pretty fair chance of winning.

Wrong. And it wasn’t even close really.

SHSS finished third, 25 strokes behind Trail’s J.L. Crowe and 15 behind Nelson’s L.V. Rogers.

During the season SHSS was 1-1 against LVR and had beaten and tied J.L. Crowe in two meetings.

Hickey was flabbergasted.

“I don’t have any explanation for it. I thought we were prepared, but for one reason or another the Pressure Bt to the kids,”’ he said.

Tt was on the back nine when the wheels fell off SHSS’s cart, Hickey said.

“*We looked like we were going to

side. We-had three kids with 43 coming out . . . and then we just lost some consistency on the back side.”

Senior Roger Carlson led SHSS with an 87 on the par-72 course, which isn’t good for him, Hickey said. Junior Jody Carew also shot 87 while Grade 12 player Denise Pottle, who was the only female in the eight- team tourney, shot 89. Junior Todd Archambault and Grade 11 student Dustin Rilcof shot 89 and 99 Tespec- tively.

With the team's ‘Scores tallied, SHSS ended up with 355, L.V.

Rogers with 340 and J.L. Crowe with 335,

With all the team had going for it, Hickey still can’t quite believe the results.

“Number one, it was our home course so we had a decided advantage there. Number two, although we
