She said the Petites (1 1-under) discovered a lack of match ex- perience and an age disadvan-

However, Prinz emphasized, the team was not bowed by the experience. Suggesting the ex- perience had been a valuable one, she predicted, ‘‘With another year under our belt we will be very competitive.’’

On the Tweens (16-under) side, the Terrace team knocked off

Prinz said each of those‘games had been hard fought and the final scores were “‘very close’’. A mark of how well the team had performed came with the naming of Lisa Smith, Christine Zaporzan and Kelly Prinz to an all-star team which played an ex- hibition game against Chetwynd, The all-stars won, she added.
