4 Se a! Sports by Glenn Werkman The Review The Parkland Panthers AAA boys’ basketball squad ended the decade on a high note, then turned around and started the next decade with a strong exhibition win New Year's Day. Last week the high school team proved they can run with the best in Canada and win, although they had trouble with a top-ranked American team during the first game of the Burnaby Central Christmas Classic. z “They just murdered everyone in the tournament and went on to win it all,” said coach Joe Milli- gan about Seattle’s Garfield High School team. The Panthers were unlucky to draw Garfield, the Number 1 ranked team in Washington State, in the tournament opening game. “It was a tough way to start because we were missing five players, who were away for Christ- mas,” Milligan said. “It would be hard to beat them (at full strength) but we would have given them a good game.” Mark Bunting led the Panthers. with 18 points while Steve Lefebvre scored 14, but it wasn’t enough as the big, all-black Gar- field team won 114-64. “They have lots of individual talent and they have a great ability to get down the floor quickly,” Milligan said. “They score a lot of baskets on the fast break.” Getting waxed in the first game inspired the Panthers to play exceptionally well for the rest of the 16-team, four-day tournament. “After getting beaten badly the day before, the guys wanted to put on a pretty good show and they did,” Milligan said. Thursday the Panthers took a 20-point victory from Edmonton’s M.E. Lazerte High School with 22 points from Bunting, 16 points from Mike Wonnacott and 15 points from Lefebvre, all contri- buting to a 70-50 win. Friday the Panthers went up against a top-ranked B.C. team from North Vancouver — Carson Graham — and won 92-54. ~ We were really on top of our game and hardly missed a shot,” Milligan said. “That’s almost a 40-point win and Carson Gra- ham’s a really good team.” Shane Ruman, back from Christmas, scored 24 points in the second half for a 26 point total, and was named the game’s MVP. Daryl Lawes arrived in time to get into his uniform for the fourth quarter and scored 10 points. Then, Saturday afternoon in the final game of the tournament, the Panthers took a close 71-69 vic- tory from the Melbourne (Austra- lia) All Stars. : The Panthers were down by 10 points in the third quarter but tied the score by the fourth. Morrow leads junior Panthers to victory Double-digit scoring in three recent basketball tournament games led to an all-star selection for Parkland junior boy’s six-foot- five post Jeremy Morrow. In the tournament’s opening game, Morrow scored 18 points as the junior Panthers defeated Oak Bay 50-43, coach Roger Pires said. Dylan Gaylor had a strong game, scoring 18 points as well. The win advanced the Panthers to a semi-final match against the host Colquitz school. In an exciting match the Saanich HOME PLA Peninsula OF THE WEEK | Copy by C.J.
