BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

V pl team to

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,
