Tie breakers snap Parkland's victory string at wrong time All good things come to an end and, unfortunately for Parkland Secondary school’s tennis team, the end came in a championship game. Parkland was undefeated going into the Lower Vancouver Island senior tennis Division B playoffs last Wednesday, and were hoping to continue the string enroute to a division title. Christina Stati and Lisa Dacre continued to show that they can play a tough game for two 14-year- olds. The pair had to dig deep to outlast their Spectrum opponents 6-5 in an A doubles match — just one of the many tie breakers that were needed to decide the ultimate victors. The win got Parkland on the scoreboard and started a brief comeback for the favorites, who were down four matches to none. However, just as coach Lome Chan felt all the pieces were falling into the right place, two little chunks fell off. “We lost two matches in tie breakers which would have put us on top,” Chan said. The losses, coupled with the absence of two of the team’s top players, Derek Robinson and Andrea Marshall, compounded the difficult task for the team. Chan said the pair had unbreak- able commitments and could not make it to the final game — Robinson played in Parkland’s 7-4 semi-final win over Oak Bay, but had to leave before the final. “It’s tough to lose in the final, Chan said of the close 6-4 decision that Spectrum won. But, you try to win with who you ve got there.” Despite the outcome, Chan is sull pleased with his team, espe- cially the girls. “I’m impressed with all the girls. They've all come along really well,” he said. “They did improve over the year.” Last time Parkland played Spec- trum the result was 7-4 for the Peninsula squad and it was the boys who dominated the scoring. This time Parkland lost 6-4 and it was the girls who gained most of the points. Craig Bentham continued to show the ill-effects of his sore shoulder as he fell 6-3 in the boys singles match. Chan said Bentham still does not have full power in his serve and he was forced to try and play a softer-hitting control game, which the Spectrum player used to his advantage. All things considered, Parkland had a very good year. “It’s been a great season,” said Chan. Parkland will hold its final ten- nis event of the year, the annual Staff/Student doubles tournament, in the afternoon of May 22, at the school. ands Funeral Chapels 656-2932 or 388-5155 Offer a complete choice of Professional Service. —TRADITIONAL —MEMORIAL —DIRECT CREMATION —FULL PRE-ARRANGEMENTS SERVICES Services from your church or in either of our chapels at 1803 QUADRA STREET VICTORIA Or 317 GOLDSTREAM AVE. COLWOOD two hometown boys a chance to shine on their own course at the Glen Meadows Golf and Country Club. The Spalding-sponsored tour featured Peninsula golfers Ed Beauchemin and Rob Olson, who have been competitive in the 11 events held so far. Beauchemin is ninth in stroke average at 73.89 and has won $361 in the limited prize competition. Olson, on the other hand, has a little more success in the five- year-old tour’s 1992 edition. He is eighth in prize money with $1,735, fourth in birdies with 31 and is tied with Beauchemin and 10 others in eagles at one. Winners usually earn in the neighborhood of $1,000. In the Glen Meadows event, Beauchemin, who is that club’s pro, carded a 74, three strokes back of winner Keith Westover, who shot a 71. Westover earned an extra $100 on top of the $900 purse for using a Spalding ball. The sporting goods company pays a bonus to any golfer who wins using their product, says tournament organizer Bill Wilms. Olson, who won the previous 18-hole event in Cloverdale, failed to record a single birdie as he ended up with a 78. Wilms said Olson pinecied with his putting on most of the holes, which kept him out of the money. The top six golfers earned between $175 and $900 for the event. Most of the competitors used the one-day tour date as a warm-up for Monday’s Canadian Profes- sional Golf Association tour quali- fying tournament in Parksville. Olson said he is hoping to gain a berth on the Canadian Tour CHIP SHOTS Ed Beauchemin won his second Vancouver Island Open golf tour- fament on the weekend.
