HUDDLED OVER THE ball, Parkland senior boys’ basketball
team newcomer Fedrico Sinclair waits for the right

moment to launch a shor.

Lady Panthers commanding
second in league basketball

Despite posting its first league
loss of the season Wednesday, the
Parkland Panthers senior girls’
basketball team still commands
second spot in the Greater Victoria
league standings.

Two recent victories over Penin-
sula rivals the Stelly’s Stingers
helped soften the blow of the
Panthers first loss — making their
league record six wins and one
defeat.

A 76-25 romp over Stelly’ S
Thursday demonstrated why the
Panthers are so strong this season,
coach Marg Metcalfe said.

“We only had seven players due
to injuries but we still played well
enough to blow Stelly’s away,” she
said.

“Our scoring percentage was
really high.”

By playing a fast-paced game

-and by pouring on the pressure
throughout, Parkland dominated
from start to finish.

“We pressed in the first half and
caused quite a few tumovers. And
in the second half, we fast-breaked
and had some good rebounding,”
Meltcalfe said.

Genea Grist turned in an
inspired performance to score 31
of Parkland’s points, while team-
mate Natasha Kipot added 20
points.
ters — Willow Cassidy and Joleen
Hook — were missing due to
injuries, and are not expected to
return until early next month.

Wednesday night saw the
Panthers declawed by undefeated
league-leader Lambrick Park.

Metcalfe said the crushing 93-
31 loss was partly due to the
absence of Cassidy and Hook, but
admitted it was mainly due to
Lambrick Park’s superiority.

“They re a bigger and stronger

team and they’re really fast. Basi-

_ Cally, they’ve got really good ball

players and look set to win the
league,” she said.

With only seven players in
attendance for Parkland, the Sid-
ney team still dug deep to provide
a gutsy performance.

“We played pretty well consid-
ering and we never gave up,”
Metcalfe said.

In earlier action, Parkland swept
aside the Stelly’s Stingers 54-33,
Jan. 10.

Stelly’s played well on the def-
ence but began to wilt when. the
Panthers applied offensive pres-
sure with a full-court press, Met-
calfe said.

“We picked up a few points
when we pressed but we had to
work hard to beat them,” she said.

Panthers topple top-ranked Langley

The Parkland Panthers senior
boys’ basketball team had mixed
fortunes, with two wins and two
losses last week.

In exhibition action, the
Panthers edged top-ranked Lang-
ley 64-60, Saturday.

Panthers coach Joe Milligan said
his team played a strong tactical
game to dominate most of the
action.

“We played a good consistent
game and stuck to our game plan,
which always works well for us,”
he said.

“When we play that way we
tend to score the same kind of
baskets time and time again.”

Despite the final score, the
Panthers kept a comfortable lead
of about a dozen points for much
of the game, he said,

At the half, it was 38-27 in
Parkland’s favor due mainly to the
team’s disciplined style of play
and its patience in setting up
scoring chances.

But the Langley players muscled
their way back into the game in the
late stages with a comeback that
provided too little too late.

Leading Parkland’s scoring was
Justin Gayler, who notched up 21
points, while hard-working Mike
Golin earned 15 points.

Six-foot-five newcomer Fedrico
Sinclair also added some welcome

height and power to the team’s

offence, Milligan said.

“He’s proving to be a really
good rebounder and shot blocker,”
he said.

In spite of impressing onlookers
with an inspired performance, the
Panthers dropped a 79-69 loss to
up-Island powerhouse Port
Alberni Armada, Friday.

“We had a really good game and
it actually proved to be a contest
that we could have won,” Milligan
Said.

“Tt came right down to the wire,
but Port Alberni scored the last
three baskets.”

defensive strategy helped contain
Port Alberni’s powerful offence
for much of the game, making for
very tight scoring margins.

At the half-way mark, both
teams were tied 44-44. As the top
up-Island high school team piled
on the pressure, it still could only

manage to pull ahead 56-53 by the
end of the third-quarter.

Milligan said Parkland had a
shot at avenging an early season
blowout right up until the dying
minutes but the ball didn’t bounce
favorably for the Sidney team
