BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

AIDED BY eventual tournament
MVP Megan Magee of Windsor
Secondary, the B.C. provincial
under-16 girls’ team captured top
spot at the Junior Prep Basket Ball
Congress International tournament
in Seattle last weekend.

Pitted against Oregon in’ the
final, the B.C. team — which in
addition to the 6°3"" centre Magee
included schoolmate Tanya
Haladner — played to a 69-60 win.

But since the lass was Oregon's
first for the tournament, the two
teams were forced to play an
eight-minute mini game to deter-
mine the overall winner.

In addition to Magec's MVP
award, team-mates dennifer Mave-
ty of Richmond and Kerri-Aan
Butterworth of Victoria were nam-
ed tournament all-stars,

In the final, Magee and Mavety
were B.C.’s top scorers, each with
17 points.

The North Shore’s Magee also
contributed — again as the high
scorer — 12 points to the B.C.
team’s easy 62-29 semi-final win
over Puget Sound.

At the buzzer, B.C. came up
with the winning hoop to win a
15-13 squeaker,

In all but one of five round-
robin games, Magee was one of the
top scorers.

“This is the highest a B.C. team
has ever done,"” said Magee, 16, a
Grade T1 student at Windsor, ‘‘'To
win and be the MVP is just icing
on the cake.”

Trying out for the under-17
team next year, Magee expects to
continue her winning basketball
ways, and expects to do well on
that team also,

“Most of the players will be
returning players, though there will
be a couple new ones,’’ she said.
“PT think we have another chance
to do well."’

In boys’ action during the same
BCE tournament, the B.C. squad
placed sixth overall, narrowly
missing a semi-final spot in a
one-point loss to Sacramento,

On this team were North Van-
couver’s Todd Langley, Brent
Crowther and coach Randy Young
and West Vancouver’s Nigel
Parish and assistant coach Tom
Rippon.

Parish and Langley were high-
scorers during various tournament
games,
