Jirn Zoet stands as tall as ever! A young man from Port Perry was featured in the March issue of All-Canadian Sporting News, Canada's monthly Amateur Sports _ Publication, Jim Zoet is the son of Mr. "and Mis. Peter Zoet of R.R, 4, Port Perry, and now plays on the defensive unit of the Lakehead University team, : In the small Northern Ontario city of Thurider Bay, a talented young 7-foot giant "is emerging as one of Can- ada's prime hopes in the 1980 Olympics. His name is Jim Zoet and he displays his athletic prowess on the bas- ketball court for Lakehead University. A former member of the Olympic '"'B' team that competed in Cuba two years ago, Zoet should become a key member of the national team at the Moscow games. "Jim is one of the finest defensive players I've ever seen. His defensive strength along with his physical pre- sence d ensure a spot on the Canadian squad," stated Lakehead coach Arne Donovan. = "If he can improve offen- sively and mobility-wise, he will be a strong force on the Olympic - team," Donovan added. Zoet's physical presence does not end with his im- pressive height. He has an awesome standing reach of nearly ten feet and his ver- tical jump ranges around the 30-inch mark. This means that from a standing jump he can reach nearly two feet above the rim of the basket!

He lived<in that' community until his grade 13 graduation. / In high: school he com-. peted one year. on-the mid- get team and for two yéars with the junior varsity, - During his two final years he overcame the awkward- ness that was inherited with his size, to become some- what of a high school legend in Ontario roundball circles. In his final prep season Zoet averaged 35 points and 17 rebounds per game. He was selected an All-Ontario first team all-star that year. American college scouts were impressed. Of the offers, Jim accepted. a.full scholarship ride to Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Kent State is a member of the Mid-American Confer- ence (MAC), which in turn is a member of the prestige- ous National Collegiate Ath- letic Association (NCAA) Division I. : Zoet's big-time college career at KSU spanned three years. During those years, he lettered three times. As a freshman he made the varsity squad - an ac- complishment of consider- able note. His sophomore season was one of consider- able progress during which he became a part-time starter. In his junior year he reached starting status, averaging 8.5 points and 6 rebounds per contest. 'At Kent State I really learned how to play defense but they never gave me much of a chance to refine "my offensive skills," stated Zoet. "A year After I got to Kent State, Rex Hughes, who had ~ been an' assistant at South: ern California, took over as coach, We never really say eye-to-eye because he want- ed to develop new talent and also, he wouldn't let me show what I could .do on offense. Consequently, I left school following my junior year, and transferred to Lakehead," continued the reserved Ontario native. In Canadian college com- petition he has been a dominating force. Thus far in the young season Jim is "averaging approximately 15 points, 15 rebounds and 10 blocks per contest. A hand- ful of weeks ago he led the Lakehead squad to a most surprising upset of the Mich- igan Tech varsity. Concerning his Olympic aspirations, the quiet giant revealed that "I'm going to Europe in two years to im- prove my game. following that, I'll return for Olympic trials. I think by then I'll have a good shot at making the team." Zoet's long-range future includes professional ball in Europe and possibly a try- out with an- NBA club. - However, he admits that in order to even contemplate pro ball across the border, he must add at least 25 pounds to his rather sparce 225 pound bulk, Weight has long been a problem: for the slim 7-foot- er. As a high school senior he tipped the Toledos at a mere 195. While at Kent State he added 30 pounds, but additional weight is needed, especially when fighting for rebounds under the boards. . With increased weight and mobility, coupled with maturity offensively, Zoet could become an awesome performer. Certainly he should become a major con- tributor to the success of Jack Donohue's 1980 Olym- pic squad.
