“Kermodes throw
—~ascare into
Highlanders

If the West Van Highlanders
came to Terrace expecting easy
pickings on the still warm corpse
of Terrace Caledonia Kermodes,
they got a shock when ail they
could do was post a five-point
win in this exhibition senior trip-
le ‘AAA’k boys’ basketball
thriller last Friday night at Cal
high.

~ With a lineup that intimidates
Opponents in pre-game warm-
ups, every player dunking the
ball, Highlanders are an impres-
‘sive fourth-ranked B.C. con-
tender.

- They point to six-foot-six
Greg Meldrum who averages 27
points a game. University coach-
es rate Meldrum as the second
best- player in B.C. Kermodes
held him to 20 points before he
fouled out in the last quarter.

Clan still
unbeaten

it was another big weekend
for the Simon Fraser Clan
ladies’ basketball team as they
posted two wins to bring their
unbeaten district one N.A.I.A.
season record to 14 wins, no
losses. .

Paced by Terrace’s Michelle
Hendry, the Clan whipped
Lewis-Clark State College 82-51
for win 13. Then they trounced
Central Washington Wildcats
93-36 for their 14th win ina row.
Hendry had 25 points and 17 re-
bounds against Lewis-Clark.
Against the Wildcats she played
only 23 minutes, but still man-
aged 20 points.
_ The Clan has three games re-
maining on its district schedule.

‘Rupert splits
‘in Victoria

_ The Prince Rupert Secondary
School senior boys’ Rainmakers
split a Feb. 10 weekend series
with Spectrum of Victoria in
senior boys’ basketball in Prince
Rupert. The Rainmakers won
the Friday night game, 73-69.
‘Ralph Bright scored 24 for the
locals.

-. On Saturday Bright added 15

-but that wasn't enough as Spec-
trum won that one 53-52.

Peewees 2nd

“Terrace Skeena Cellulose pee-
“wees wound up with second-
‘pldce silver medals at Smithers’
peewee minor hockey tourna-
nent on the Feb. 9 weekend.
After winning three in a row,
-Tettace dropped a 3-1 decision
{6 Kitimat in the final. Early
‘Terrace victories were 6-3 over
Smithers, 3-0’ over Hazelton,
arid 7-3 over Houston.

. As usual, officials fingered

They also have six-foot-two
Robin Mahood, who gave the
crowd the impression he knew
more about the game than the
referees. Despite his hot-dog
style, Mahood topped their scor-
ing with 23. .

To them it appeared to be a
condescending trip to hickville
where they could dump the
dupes.

But the score was 82-77 — far
from a whipping at the hands of
the big-town stars.

At no time during the game
did West Van hold more than a
nine-point lead. That was their
highest margin, but it was closer
most of the time. .

Highlanders were up by one
(24-23) in the first 10 minutes.
By halftime they held a seven-
point (45-38) bulge. At ‘three-
quarter time it was down to five
points (61-56).

Paul Manhas didn’t really
have one of his better games,
despite leading the scoring with
27. Had he been ‘on’, he might
have jammed home 50.

Geoff McKay came through
with another steady perform-
ance, canning 22 including a
couple of long bombs.

Mike Parker came back from
his ankle injury and contributed
15. Kermodes got eight from
Kannin Osei-Tutu before he
fouled out. They also got a
three-pointer from Jason Krause
and a pair of foul shots from
Mike Newhouse.

Kermodes more in’ the foul.
department, 20-to-15,
In foul shooting, Kermodes
did quite well. They potted 14 of
16 shots. Highlanders had 14 for
17. :

The Caledonia high echool Kermode boys were not an easy mark for the fourth-ranked West
Van Highlanders Friday. Kermodes kept the home town fans on the edge of their seats, losing by
a five-point margin after four close quarters.
