Skeena playday organizer Tom Watkinson would like to thank the students who assisted in the playday. The students ran the Skeena canteen, cleaned up and helped referee, and their hard work was greatly appreciated by Watkinson and the rest of the people involved with the event. The playday was part of the North West Zone's pattern of play, which should see each school involved host one playday, and attend at least one other. These Playdays give each team a chance to see other teams in the zone play so that when the final tournament comes aramid in Novemeber, the teams will have ex- perience with each other. This is not a league, so that wins and losses will not be entered in columns to determine placements. All teams attend the final tournament. Next weekend's playdays are at Booth and Smithers (ten- tatively), and local teams travel schedules will be announced later on this week. Caledonia tour ’ The Caledonia Senior Secondary School's volleyball and soccer teams did some travelling this weekend, going to Houston and Hazelton to participate in the season’s first playday. The senior A Kermodes boys volleyball team lost in Houston Friday night, but it took the hosts five games to get past the Terrace team. The game scores were 16-4, 8-15,15-12,5-15 and 16-14, but coach Ed Kenney said that the team was a bit stiff from the long bus ~ tide, and can play better than they did. Saturday in Hazelton, the boys took on a men’s team.composed for the occasion, and beat them two games out of three. The girls A team had a very successful trip, beating Houston 15-13 and 15-10 Friday night, and going three sets with Hazelton 15-4, 13-15 and 15-3 before finally coming out on top.
