Terrace Review —

One-point

zone victory

The Skeena Tsimpsean boys squeezed into the Northwest zone junior boys’ high school basketball championship on

February 23 weekend at Skeena |,

junior high school in Terrace.

Skeena drew a bye in the | opening round of the double- |

knockout series that also fea- tured teams from Prince Rupert

Booth, Kitimat, Nisga’a and |

Port Simpson.

Skeena opened with a 68-50 win over Booth, then won ‘A’ side on a 70-45 victory over Port Simpson.

Kitimat, meantime, lost their opener 70-69 to Port Simpson. This meant Kitimat had to win three-in-a-row to get a shot at ‘A’ side-winning Skeena. .

Kitimat went into ‘B’ side ac- tion by- eliminating Nisga’a 61-50. Next they thumped Booth out of the series on a 64-39 win. It was revenge time for Kitimat in the ‘B’ side final when they met Port Simpson again and won 69-40,

The well-rested Skeena boys took Kitimat for granted and needed a last-minute goal to beat their arch rivals 44-43 in a thrill- ing finale.

Coaches were asked to name one player as their team’s most valuable. All but Nisga’a did so. For Skeena it was Todd Ducharme; David Kotai for Kitimat; Jimmy McKay for Booth; and Peter Wesley for Port Simpson.

Meanwhile at Kitimat, it was a three-team round-robin play- down for the junior girls’ title.

Rupert’s Booth won the zone crown by beating Kitimat 51-35 and downing Terrace 70-63. Ter- race placed runnerup by beating

Kitimat 59-54.

Due to their zone victory, Skeena boys begin play today in the 16-team B.C, junior high school basketball champion- ships at St. Thomas More school in Vancouver. This series winds up Saturday.
