W/V linebacker eyes
U.S. college teams

BROOKS FINDLAY’S ca-
reer is very much on his
mind these days.

BROOKS FINDLAY, linebacker/
fullback for the West Vancouver
Highlanders, was named the B.C.
high schools’ oustanding defensive
footbali player for 1988. Findlay
graduates this year and may be
headed south to play for a U.S.
college.

The B.C. High school football
season ended recently and the [7-
year-old fullback/linebacker for
the West Vancouver Highlanders
was named outstanding defensive
player.

“He’s a major U.S. college pro-
spect,’’ says Highlanders coach
Gary Schwertfeger of Findlay, who
has been a starter for West Van
Secondary for the last three years.

Things are certainly coming up
roses for Findlay. Despite having
injured his knee in the pre-season,
the 673°’, 205-pounder gained
about 400 yards in only six games,
says Schwertfeger.

He rushed 157 yards and scored
both West Vancouver TDs in its
opening-round playoff loss to the
Richmond Colts.

His record includes Most Con-
sistent Returning Player award in
1986, One-Hundred and Ten Per

Cent Offensive award and Best
Back award for 1987.

Now a number of U.S. colleges
-— Washington State, Oregon
State, and the University of Mon-
tana — have all shown interest in
Findlay.

“‘T haven’t had any firm offers
yet,’’ he says, adding that both the
University of British Columbia and
Simon Fraser University have also
expressed interest.

Findlay’s older brother Scott is a
runningback for the UBC
Thunderbirds and younger brother
Anthony is the second leading
tackler at West Vancouver Sec-
ondary. Father Greg is a former
B.C. Lions star.

“My father reviews games with
us and tells us what we need to
work on. He’s a good role model,
he had a terrific career with the
Lions,” says Findlay.

With the football season over,
things are looking equally as good
for Findlay.

WV field hockey girls succeed

WEST VANCOUVER Secondary
girls’ field hockey team had an
outstanding season, finishing 6-1
in league play and winning the

North Shore championship.

The team recently returned from
the B.C. provincial championships
in Victoria where they defeated

Magee, Penticton and Centennial,
and won first place in the consola-
tion round.
