Rupert basketball teams get mixed results in California

‘It was a good trip for the Birds, but the Rainmakers’ trip . was:strictly for the birds.

Rainbirds and Rainmakers, Prince Rupert’s senior high school girls’ and boys’ basket- ball teams, did something at Christmas that goes into the books as a ‘first’ for this area.

They flew to California for six games each against U.S. high school teams in the San Diego area.

The Birds came out smelling like roses — they won all six of their games. The Rainmakers came out just smelling, period. They won only one of their six contests.

However, Rainmakers were far from demolished against strong American teams. They

lost only .one by more than 30.

_ points while several other games

were close. It was easy to see why they

lost to Christian High. Their

lineup contained the highest rated male high schoo! player in

_the United States.

His name is Tony Clark and the six-and-a-half foot giant merely scored 54 of his team’s 85 points in beating Rainmakers 85-61. Clark was Mr. All-Every- thing.

Rainmakers’ only win came in the eight-team opening tour- nament at Ramona where they downed El Cajon 58-44.

Their other losses were 83-51 to Ramona, 60-51 to Imperial, 56-46 to El Capitan and 71-67 to Mission Bay. In the opening tournament, Jason Parnell was named to the all-star team.

It was a much different story for the Rainbirds. The girls

found out that female basketball in the states is of poorer quality than in Canada.

They won their opening eight- team tournament on three wins. They downed Montgomery 57-49, Holtville 44-37, then needed double overtime to take out University Dons 72-65. Nina Phillipson was high scorer in each game, winding up with 67 points overall.

However, when it came to all- star selection she was not pick- ed. Joanna Vieira was named most valuable player, while Audrey Dennison picked up an all-star berth.

Their final three games saw

them beat El Capitan 450-45 (Dennison 22), down Mission Bay 63-57 in overtime (Phillip- son 10), and outscore Christian Patroits 56-49 (Dennison 16).

_ | Rasmussen downed

Terrace’s John Rasmussen needed his best shots at Satur- -day’s Labatt’s 5-pin championship bowling series on CBC television. Unfortunately, the shots were somewhere else and he wound up being eliminated in his opening sudden-death game against Ken Ruthvan of Saskatchewan.

Rasmussen, who had warmed up a week earlier at Terrace . by rolling four straight over-300 games, fired a dismal 214 to

- Ruthvan’s 244, He was never really in the game. At the seventh frame he was down by 58 pins. His only strikes came in the eighth and ninth frames, but by then it was too little too

ate. -

Rasmussen was number one B.C. bowler after winning an 84-player shootout in November. His effort at Toronto earned him $500. ,
