boost home and
road schedule

One of the major beefs about
the Terrace Caledonia boys’
high school basketball team was
a lack of hometown opponents
from outside the Northwest
area,

The high cost of bringing
teams to Terrace, or travelling
the other way for that matter,
curtailed much movement in re-

cent years.

For example, the only worthy
opponent booked into Terrace
for a two-game exhibition series
was the appearance of number-
one ranked North Delta Huskies
in early February. :

Other than that, local fans got
to see Kermodes in the
Christmas grads’ tournament
and their regular zone tourney

against Kitimat and Prince

Rupert. _
New coach Cam McKay is rec-
tifying this situation for next
year, with at least two and prob-
ably three top teams coming

here for two or three-game ex-

hibitions.
“Right now I’m looking at

_ two definite and one possible,”’

McKay told us before leaving
last week for the M.E.I. tourney
in the Fraser Valley.

“We're lined up to host
Centennial Centaurs and Maple

Ridge so far,” he told us.
“We're trying to line up the
dates now because they have so
many good opponents to face
throughout their season.”

“It could be one here in early

‘December and the other some-

where later on.”

McKay also said a possible
team travelling here is Seaquam,
but that is far from firmed up.

‘We'll have all our play lined
up by the time we return to
school in September.”

Meanwhile, Kermodes have
an ambitious out-of-zone
schedule on the books.

One of the biggest is the
Calgary’s St. Francis tourna-
ment, which features the top
teams in western Canada plus a
couple of entries from the
U.S.A, “It'll be a very tough
series,’” McKay said.

Fairbanks, Alaska is also in-
cluded on the agenda, “Alaska
tems are. solid fundamentally,
and they have a pair of strong
squads from Washington State
in the lineup as weil. .

“We're really looking for-
ward to this Alaska tourney,’’
he added.
