Track club ready
for registration
but need coach

The Peninsula Track Club
has a brand new facility next at
Parkland School and several
great coaches ready to go.

All they need now is more
track and field athletes to join,
and another coach to specialize
in jumping events like pole
vaulting, club spokesman Er-
est Redding said.

“We're looking for a few new
members are we're looking for
a few coaches,” he said.

With a Peninsula rich in track
and field talent the Peninsula
Track Club has a good coach
Toster for track events.

Reg Effa looks after sprint
and hurdles, Mike Creery takes
care of the high performance
end of things and Tom Michell |
looks after long distance event
competitors.

“There’s lots of talent there
and the schools cooperate a
lot,” Redding said. “But we’re
really there for the kids.”

And a lot of kids have expre-
ssed interest in jumping events
— like high jump, long jump,
triple jump and pole vaulting.

“There’s no one in the club
that knows that much about
those events,” Redding said.

A registration meeting is
being held Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m.
in Parkland School.

Stingers win
twice in Seattle

The Stelly’s Stingers
senior girls basketball team
beat two Seattle teams last
weekend in exhibition play.

In the first game Saturday
against Forest Ridge the Stin-
gers tallied to a 50-24 victory
with 17 points from Lynn Jean
and 14 from Jenny Mahon.

That afternoon against Holy
Names Academy the Stingers
won big again, this time with a
51-20 score. Mahon was top
gun with 33 points.

But at home the previous
Wednesday the Stingers were
humiliated by Number 1-
ranked Lambrick Park with a
96-19 loss.

It was a weekend of rough and
tough basketball for the Parkland
Panthers in Langley resulting in
disappointed players, on a late
night ferry without a trophy.

But at least two more points are
in the league standings from an
earlier win, Wednesday against
Esquimalt.

“It was a classic case of win
ugly, get the two points,” coach
Joe Milligan said. ‘‘™ wasn’t a
great win but it was a win.”

Up by 12 at the end of the first
half, the Panthers allowed Esqui-
malt to bring it back to 43-36 in
the third quarter.

In the final frame Panther for-
wards hit the hoop hard for 20
points to take a 64-45 lead, then
held on for a 67-57 win.

Mark Bunting led the forwards
with 20 points as Mike Wonnacott
and Shane Ruman each scored 10
points.

“They're a scrappy, hard-
working team that makes you pay
for the win,” Milligan said.

That game took care of another
two points in the important league
books and set the stage for an
addition to the Panther’s tourna-
ment trophy case.

Touted as one of the top four
teams on the way in, the Panthers
were prepared for a fight toward
the 12-team New Year’s Classic
tournament championship, hosted
by Langley Secondary.

But an underdog Aldergrove
team, matched against the Panthers
in their opener Friday, ruined
immediate victory plans.

“We should have won and we
seemed to be winning, but we
never actually could say that we
were winning,” Milligan said.

“The other team was working to
Stay with us and both teams were
fairly tired.”

With just seconds on the fourth
quarter clock Bunting scored a
two-pointer to tie the score at
79-79 — forcing a five-minute
overtime period.

It was an aggressive game, that
was aggravated by an official who
called 12 jump ball violations
(including three in the overtime
penod), “and a bundle of missed
free throws,” Milligan said.

“The boys got into a state where
they didn’t know if they were
punched or bored,” Milligan said.

The tension stayed right until the
end. With eight seconds left, the
Panthers down by three, a play to

Wonnacott clicked off of a throw-
in, setting him up for the three-
pointer.

The shot looked great until it hit
the back of the rim and popped
Out, straight to guard David Milli-
gan. He tried the three-pointer too,
but it rattled around the hoop and
fell out — ending the game at
83-86.

“It was a good high school

game,” Milligan said. It wiped
Aldergrove’s team out, resulting in
a loss for them Saturday moming
game against a mediocre team.
. Daryl Lawes was the high scorer
with 36 points. Mark Bunting hit
for 19 and Ruman scored 16
points.

The loss brought the Hand-
sworth Royals, from North Van-
couver, onto the court Saturday
momiung at 9 a.m..

The Panthers took the first half
to wake up but “we handled them
74-59. It was a close game in-the
first half,” Milligan said.

Coming from a 31-32 deficit,
the Sidney school had strong third
and fourth quarters and beat them
easily.

Going into the consolation final
was ironic because the Lynden
(Wash.) Lions were also upset in
Friday games.

Both teams had been picked as
contenders for the tournament
championship game, Milligan
said.

“It was a good game, playing
American schools is always worth-
while,” Milligan said. “Except for
five minutes it was a close game.”

The Lions scored 15 points in
five minutes and held the lead
until the final 78-61 score.

~ They were a good team, better
than we were on that day,” Milli-
gan said.

The guys were tired from play-
ing three games in the past 18
hours and weren’t scoring as much
as the usual percentage.

“We missed 60 routine inside
