Panthers edged out of provincials despite
some incredible volleyball performances

The Parkland Panthers senior
boys’ volleyball team gave the best
teams in the province a real run for
their money at the provincial
championships last week.

Despite failing to make the
quarter finals of the B.C. high
school round-robin tournament,
the Panthers can “hold their heads
high,” coach Lorne Chan said.

Parkland lost four closely-
contested matches but also posted
three victories at the Kelowna
event, which ran from Wednesday
to Saturday, he said.

In the last and best match of the
Panthers’ tournament, the Sidney
team defeated high-flying John
' Barsby in a real thriller, he said.

One of the favorites of the
championship, Nanaimo’s Barsby
lost 15-10 in the first game but
came back to snatch the second
game 15-5.

The final and deciding game
was a real cliff-hanger that saw

$20 million in
flood assistance

Solicitor General Russ Fraser
announced last week that cabinet
thas approved an initial $20 mil-
lion in emergency assistance for
residents of the province affected
by the recent flood damage.

Residents in areas that have
suffered damage from high water
levels will now be able to make
application for financial assis-
tance.

The assistance will help cover
necessities of life such as clothing,
shelter and food. Eligible claims
will be paid at 80 per cent with a
deductible of $1,000 to a maxi-
mum. of $100,000 for homeow-
ners, farmers and small business
operators.

Details of the procedures for
funding applications will appear
in local newspapers and on radio.
Enquiries may also be made via
the toll-free flood hot-line at 1-

Parkland play its best game of the
whole season to edge out Barsby
15-12, Chan said.

“We played some incredible
volleyball. There was great spiking
and we made some termfic dives
and saves in defence,” he said.

He said the Panthers were dealt
a blow early in the tournament
with injuries incurred by two key
players — Brett Mikkleson and
Tim Archbold.

In earlier action, wins were also
scored over Vancouver's David
Thompson school and over Sea-
quam, he said.

Highly ranked Seaquam was
outplayed by 16-14, 15-10 scores,
while Parkland dropped a close
game to David Thompson, 15-17,
but rallied to dump its opponents
15-3 and 15-8 in the next two
games.

In a match that saw Parkland
play some of its best volleyball,
the Greater Victoria champion was
later edged with 11-15 and 13-15
scores by the 1989 provincial
champion, L. V. Rogers school
from Nelson.

Another see-saw match that
could have gone either way was
lost by 12-15 and 13-15 scores to
the top-ranked team in the prov-

ince — Vancouver's Queen Eliza-
beth school.

“It was an incredibly close
match that we could have won
with a bit more luck. We hardly
made a single mistake in the
second game,” Chan said.

In other games, Parkland lost by
7-15, 9-15 to Richmond and by
13-15, 9-15 to the Fraser Valley’s
top team — KLO.

Chan said he is very happy with
his team’s performance in Park-
land’s first ever outing to the
provincial championships.

“With a few more breaks and
without injuries to two key players,
we could have made the quarter
finals.

“But we gave it our best shot
and the guys can hold their heads
high,” he said.

Having won the Greater Victoria

high school league and seeing the _

team gel into Parkland’s best ever
group of volleyball players was
something to be very proud of,
Chan said.

“Tt was a great season. We had a
very successful year and our 21-1
league record is something that
we re very pleased with,” he said.

“All told, we put in a very fine
showing this year.”
