383 - Sunday, October 25, 1987 - North Shore News Sports- 8.C. JUNIOR FOOTBALL Argos advance to finals THE NORTH Shore Argos have advanced to the B.C. Junior Foo:- ball Association's championship game against the Surrey Rams scheduled for today in Surrey. The North Shore Argos last weekend defeated the Vancouver Meralomas 36-35 and in doing so, advanced to the championship round of Western Canada’s Junior Tier 1] league. The first time in the finals since - the team’s inception into the league, the Argos will face the Rams today to battle for owner- ship of the trophy in one of Canada’s premier football divi- sions. In the game against the Meralomas, the Argos took an ear- ly lead and were leading 28-0 at half-time, with the Argo running attack hitting on all four cylinders as the offensive line pushed the defence into a corner. Argos quarterback Greg Mc- Clure was given enough time to find his receivers all over the field. Tim Yeo, the Argos tailback, had over 100 yards rushing and two High school From page 37 Badminton Senior Boys and Girls touchdowns behind fullback Mike Cooke and the offensive line. The Argos defence put forth a flawless effort in the first half. Led by captain Rod Guy the defence engineered an attack that defensive coordinator Larry Harman had given them to shut out the Lomas for the first 30 minutes. Up 28-0 at the half, the Argos looked in complete command. Then the unexpected happened. “It’s one of the things you fear the most,’’ said head coach Dave Merlo. ‘‘Players take for granted the desire of any opponents’ will to compete. When this happens, the players lose the momentum they so desperately need in order to win.” The Meralomas took advantage of the Argos miscue and with 10 minutes left in the game, with enough points to come within one point. of a tie with only seconds remaining. In the Iast play of the game the Loma quarterback threw a desper- ation pass to the end zone. A player from each team went up for the ball and both caught it in the air. scoreboard ” Sent 10, Arg 1; Hand 7, WV 4, ganior Boys and Giris Arg 6, Sent 5; WV 7, Hand 4. ine Engineering ‘A joint pro ‘The Cana Pro student interested in a technic amme, St. Lawrence College and ian Armed Forces, amme benefits.

Jeff McDonald was the Argo player who came up with the ball, and in doing so, sealed the Meralomas’ fate."’ Argos are the first North Shore team to make it to the B.C. Junior Tier I] championships and are the youngest franchise in the league having only entered a team for the past six years. Each of the first five years they had made it to the playoff round, but could never extract a chance at the final.

Parry, who directs the offence. ‘‘They come at you every play with full intensity and will stop at nothing to win. The Argos fight for the crown today at 3 p.m. at Bear Creek Park in Surrey.
