TEAMS
ON THE
OFFENCE

THE SOUNDS of helmeted
heads butting, padded
bodies hitting the turf and
fans cheering has come once
again to North Shore fields
with the return of high
school football action.

“If we keep on working hard
and improving, I think it’s going
to be a real dogfight,’’ Windsor
Dukes coach Jay Prepchuk said of
the season. ‘Hopefully we can
squeak into the playoffs.”’

Without the luxury of exhibition
games to tune the team, the Dukes
plowed headlong into competition,
most recently taking a 7-0 Joss to
Handsworth last week.

“We moved the ball consistent-
ly, but just couldn't put the ball in
the endzone,’ he said of the team,
featuring among the top players
QB Mare Hutchinson, Chris Har-
tis, Warren Castley and Notan
Sackney.

“They just have to maintain
their work ethic,"’ said Prepchuk,
who is joined in coaching duties by
Jim Best, Neil Rerup, Milan Bol-
juncic and Roald Kovacik. ‘‘They
have a lot of potential.”

At Carson Graham, Eagles
coach Larry Donohoe is this year
fielding a squad of 25 newcomers
and 20 veterans.

“I’m looking forward to a good
season,’’ Donohoe said of the
Eagles’ performance to date.
‘We're going to hold our own.”

Among the noteworthy players
suiting up for the Eagles this
season are tailback/defensive back
David Hoskins, fullback/
linebacker Kwakwee Baker and
linebacker/guard Chris Bichler.

Busy with daily practices, the
Eagles are bolstered with ‘‘some
really quality Grade elevens this
year,’’ said Donohoe, who is tak-

start their race.

Earl Henderson is on leave.

“I'm pretty happy with how
things are going.’’

After losing a 14-12 game in
Washington State last week, West
Vancouver Secondary's
Highlanders squad is getting ready
to take on B.C. champion Notre
Dame this Friday.

“Tt will be a good test for us,”
said coach Gary Schwertfeger,
whose team is zero for three in ex-
hibition play. ‘I think we'll give
them a good game.”

Coming out strong for the
Highlanders are halfback Frank
Pimiskern, fullback Brooks
Findlay, foreback Paul Zuccato

and receiver Trevor Walker.

Handsworth Royals coaches
Jack Tasaka and Joe Bell are hop-
ing the ‘‘fairly inexperienced
team’? will be able to hold its own
with a strong passing attack from
QB Jocy Serdar.

Rounding out the lineup are
other notable players for the
Royals, including Peter Rae, Jeff

Hobson, Dan Davies, Jeff
Jollymore, Craig Stevenson, Mike
Eby and David Torrance.

“The other teams in the league
are better than we are,’’ said Bell.
“We're just going to have to work
hard toward the end of the
season."’
