The 3.5-mile course will fin-

Out of trials and tribulations
comes character and strength —
that’s the philosophy of Parkland
Panthers senior boys’ basketball
team coach Joe Milligan.

Despite two recent losses to
powerful opponents, Milligan
believes his team has what it takes
to learn from: its mistakes and
develop into a tour de force come
playoff time. i

“We have the talent and with all
the experience we’re getting, I
think we're sitting pretty to peak
in time for the playoffs in Febru-
ary,” he said Friday.

With team confidence growing
with every game, his squad has
proved it has all the tools to

that will come with time as the

‘Panthers become more battle-

hardened.
“We're showing some flashes of
brilliance and the challenge now is

once again proved to be an inabil-
ity to keep up the intensity of play
throughout, he said.

A neck-and-neck game with up-
Island powerhouse Port Alberni
was lost 90-66 as Parkland fizzled
Out in the last quarter.

The Panthers were playing their
first game in the Can-Am eight-

team tournament in Victoria.

“We played well for three quar-
ters and if we kept playing like that
throughout we could have won,”
Milligan said.

“After all, we were up 59-58 in
the third quarter. We were just
overpowered in the last quarter and
we had a few turnovers.”

However, the absence of three of

up-Island team, he said.
Six-foot-six Jeremy Morrow and
his brother John, along with Dale
Hauser, all missed the game.
With Jeremy Morrow missing
from the line-up, there was no one

In earlier league action, the
Panthers threw away an early lead
to lose 69-53 to St. Michael’s
University School, Dec. 12.

Milligan said the Panthers had
the upper-hand after the first two
quarters, when they held on to a
34-30 lead.

But SMUS came on strong in
the second half of the game, using
pressure tactics that allowed the
visitors to outscore Parkland by 11
points in the third period.

“Tt was a close game that could
have gone either way but the guys
had a five-minute mental lapse in
the third quarter,” he said.

pressed us and we panicked a bit
and made some turnarounds.”

The Panthers regained their
composure and narrowed the
deficit to seven points in the final

a hard-fought victory.

Morrow led Parkland’s scoring
with 22 points.
