One quarter too many.
That was the story of the Kermodes’
Friday night basketball game against
visitors Chartes Hays,
But the writing had been faintly on the
wall even before Caledonia started the
final 10 minutes of the game.
The Kermodes started well enough in
the effort to extend their unbeaten carly
season streak. ,
Led by John Shepherd’s and Jassie
Osei-Tutu’s eight point production, the
team emerged from the first quarter up
18-12.
Cal continued to open the gap until six
minutes into the second when the Prince
Ruperters took charge.
More than doubling Cat’s output, Hays
closed to within four with a minute to go
in the half,
However, Prince Rupert fouls and
three converted free throws by Fraser
McKay rebuilt the lead and the
Kermodes took a. 39-32 lead into the
break.
It was much the same story in the third
quarter where the Kermodes opened the
gap to 13 points.
However, Hays struck at the midway
point, outscoring Cal 9-3 over a three
minute span to close it up to 53-46.
Again, Cal fought back as the clock ran
down, Moritaro Oguru’s two-pointer in
the dying seconds making it 57-48 going
into the final frame.

Although the Kermodes had oulscored
Hays, if only just, ‘in each of the first
three quarters, those spans where they
had let Charles Hays get back into the
game left a nagging doubt.

The doubt became a fact almost the
moment the last quarter got under way.

Hays went on ihe rampage.

Combining strong defensive play with
accurate shooting and taking advantage
of every turnover, the visitors racked up
an unanswered 16 points in the first five
minutes to lake a 64-57 lead. ;

The Kermodes shook it off, free throws
by Osei-Tutu and Shepherd plus a two-
pointer from Fernando Milhomens in a
17 second span evening the score at 64
with three and a half minutes left.

From there, the two teams exchanged
points bul it was Cal having to pull the
score back level each time.

It came down to fouls in the end, Hays
sinking four free throws to Cal’s two in
the final 27 seconds ta take the game 76-

Hays stops Kermode streak

‘Hoot victory
was less than
perfect show

Despite a rocky start and near throw-away finish,
the Kermades posted their second basketball
toumcy triumph Dee, 4-5 in Vanderhoof.

Although Cal posted a comfortable 74-61 win
over Duchess Park of Prince George in their Friday
night opener, coach Cam MacKay said it was not
onc their finer performances,

‘In fact, they kind of stunk,” he admitted, but
put it down to having just come off a long and
tiring bus trip lo get there.

Jassie Osci-Tutn led Kermode scorers with 20,
Femando Milhomens added 19, Kurt Muller a
round dozen and Fraser McKay 11.

Cal put it together in game two, however, MacK-
ay noting good defensive play had been a major
fealure of the Kermodes 88-63 trouncing of host
Vanderhoof,

Milbomens netted a repeat 19 points, Muller, 16,
McKay 13, Osei-Tutu 11 and John Shepherd 10.

That set up the final against College Heights, also
of Prince George, and Caledonia found themselves
in early trouble, falling behind 24-10 in the first
quarter,

However, “we had a little chat,’ MacKay
recalled and the Kermodes came out gunning in the
second to tie the game at 33 at the half.

From there, Cal and College Heights exchanged
points, the Kermodes holding the narrowest of
margins, 54-53 at the three quarter buzzer.

The Kermodes edged further clear in the final
frame only to almost toss it away in the dying sec-
onds of the game.

Ahead 71-65 with just 90 seconds to survive,
MacKay said the Kermodes lost their composure.

Pointing to the four tumovers surrendered by Cai
in that final minute and half, he said, “They made
ita lot closer than it needed to be.”

The Kermodes hung on, however, to post a 71-69
victory, Muller and Milhomens each contributed 20
points, Fraser McKay 14 and John Shepherd anath-
er 10.

While Milhomens had come up big when it
counted on the scoring -- he sank three third quarter
three-painters -- MacKay paid tribute to the work
done by John Shepherd.

Concentrating heavily on defence over the
weekend, Shepherd had effectively shut down Col--
lege Heights big gun in the final.

Having sunk 30-35 points in. cach of his previous
games, College’s top scorer could only manage 16
against the Kermodes.

And although the defensive emphasis kept
Shepherd out of the attack for most of the game,
when he did join in he was right on target.

MacKay noted Shepherd had only six shots dur-

CURLING

With the first round of Monday
Mixed curling all but complete,
three rinks are battling it out for
top honours.

Tied for first aficr seven games
are Epp and Smith, each with just
a single loss and 6-0 records..

‘Epp won when the two met
Nov, 9 but lost that one game
edge by falling to Carruthers
three weeks later.
-Hard on the leaders’ heels is
Oates whose lie against Oliarty
has made the difference between
second and forcing a three-way
deadlock for top.

Wednesday night Ladies is also
producing close races with Rusty
Blaties and Marg Skead even at
four wins and a tie for nine
points, but only one clear of Deb-
bie Carruthers and Vickki Gar-
diner in Pool A.

In fact, just three points cover
seven of the cight teams in the
pool.

In play to date, Skead has
beaten Blanes but lost to Car-
ruthers. And, just to complete the
circle, Blanes has dropped Car-
ruthers.

In Ladies Pool B, Lynn
Apolezer’s 5-1-1 record gives her
a single point edge over Kathie
Simpson and Denise Sawtell.

Apolezer has beaten both her.
trailers bul a loss to Dumont and
tie against Beckley has kept the
lead a narrow one.

And it's much the same story in
Pool A action in Thursday Men’s
where Walker (6-0-2) and Fisher
(5-2-1) are tied at 12 points.

On their tail is K. Melanson
with five wins just a point ahead
of Smith who has a game in hand.

In Pool B Heighington is alone
on top having lost only one of
eight games.

However, that Nov. 19 loss was
to second placed Kennedy who
has himself lost only twice.

Kawinsky, Weissner and A.
Simpson are all within four points
of top spot, Simpson having a
game in hand,

After taking a Christmas break,
local curlers return to the ice in
the first week of January.

That ‘week also sces the 793
