Sentinel Spartans swim to the top SENTINEL SPARTANS topped the standings at the B.C. high school swimming and diving championships at UEC recently with 193 points to 154 for runners-up Cen- tennial of Coquitlam. Centennial had won the grand aggregate championships — combining speed swimming, sychronized swimming and div- ing points — for the past nine years after Windsor Dukes won in 1978. Sentinel had the title seven of the ten years from 1968 through 1977, and were second last year. This year’s addition of the Spartans, coached for the sev- enth year by Ted Pelly, won by scoring 156 of their points in JUNIOR HOCKEY Flames bounce IN A reversal of scoring form exhibited in their recent 5-2 loss to the Bluehawks in Burnaby, the North Shore Winter Club Flames capitalized on scoring chances early in the game to breeze to a comfortable 7-3 victory over the White Rock Whalers at the Winter Club Nov. 26. The win boosted the Flames into a fourth place tie with White Rock in West Coast Junior Hockey League standings. Against the Whalers, the Flames came out with lots of jump and opened the scoring on a short- handed goal just ts minvtcs into the game. Sean Morrison picked up Tim Stoddart’s clearing pass at the Flame blueline and then with some good strong skating and puck con- trol carried it deep into Whaler territory before slipping a well- timed pass to Kevin Buhr who snapped it by the Whaler goaltender for the goal. Twenty-eight seconds later Ken Savage, who re-gained the league’s scoring leadership with two goals and an assist, converted on An- drew Merilees' rebound to put the Flames ahead 2-0. Then just over a minute later, Mike Loftus combined with Jason Loewen and Morrison tc put the locals up 3-0. The Whalers got on the scoreboard with 1:26 remaining in the period. The Flames kept the Whalers off the scoreboard in the second period while Merilees connected with two goals -— the first one coming just 43 seconds into the period from Savage and Kyle Hannay and the second at 15:12 from Buhr and Savage — to stretch the locals’ lead to 5-1 after two periods. At 3:02 of the third period, the Whalers added their second goal of the night but the Flames got that one back three minutes later on a power-play goal by Savage from Buhr for a 6-2 Flame lead. Midway through the period, Wade Bartok finessed the Flames’ final goal of the night, with Jason Loewen an.) Rob MeLaughlin drawing the assists. The Whalers closed out the scor- ing with a power-play goal in the game’s closing minutes for the 7-3 final. At 49-21 shots of goal margin was testimony to the Flames’ best defensive game of the season, but Gary Knight, who had a strong game in goal for North Shore, was relays. Rob Price, Romau Guerela, Kathryn Pellat and Elissa Pur- vis won the 200-metre mixed ““A”’ freestyle relay and team- mates Adam Fallis, Steve Krogseth, Catherine Schier and Cori Creed took second place. Guerela, Fallis, Krogseth and Bob Bing were second in the 400-metre ‘‘A’’ freestyle relay. Schier, the only girl to finish back forced to come up with several clutch saves throughout the game to preserve his team’s momentum. In Thursday’s forgettable 5-2 loss at Burnaby, the Flames forfeited their opportunity to take command of the game when they misfired on their numerous scoring chances in the scoreless first period. Penalties proved costly for the Flames in the second period. They fell behind 2-0 on Burnaby power-play goals before the mid- point of the frame and then were victimized by a ten minute penalty which cost them two more goals and left them trailing 4-0 heading into the final 20 minutes. Brad Kyllo contributed two goals in the Flames losing cause, the first one from Savage at the 1:36 mark, and the second at 10:03 from McLaughlin and Stoddart, just 30 seconds after the Bluehawks had scored their final goal of the game. The Bluehawks outshot the Flames 40-30 with Kevin Rad- bourne and Knight splitting the goaltending assignment. On Dec. 1, the Flames are at Port Coquitlam for a game with the Buckeroos, and then on Dec. 3, they host the Grandview Steelers at the North Shore Winter Club at 9 p.m. in the top six in a speed swimm- ing individual event when she came second in the 100-metre ‘‘A” butterfly, also teamed up with Creed, Purvis and Tara MacKay jor a second in the 100-metre ‘‘A’’ freestyle relay and then combined with Pellat, Creed and Purvis for a second in the 200-metre ‘‘A’’ freestyle relay. Price was the only male to place in the top six in an indi- vidual sace when he came third in the 100-metre ‘‘A”’ butterfly. Carson Graham’s Bruce Heidecker, Leila Hopkin and twins Jason and Sabina Thom- son won the 200-metre mixed **B”’ freestyle relay. Handsworth’s Michelle Sallee copped seconds in both the 100-metre ‘“‘A’’ backstroke and 200-metre individual medley.
