Regent Elementary girls take Byng Tourney - again Regent Royals Girls successfully defended their Grand Cham- pionship crown last Saturday in the Fifth Annual Byng Invitational Basketball Tournament for Elementary Schools throughout Simcoe County held in Stayner.

Play in the consolation round improved throughout the afternoon, peaking with the finals against Waterloo Collegiate. The final match was an exciting, ac- tion-packed game filled with powerful hitting, blocking, digging and serving by both teams. McMaster coach Theresa Quigley was im- pressed by the talent and skill displayed by both teams during the match. She said that 'there wasn't much difference in actual play between the championship final and the consolation final. The senior Crusaders should be proud of their efforts at this tournament, but remember, consistent play is the key. to overall success. Round robin results: vs Saunders, 12-15, 5-15; vs Paul Dwyer, 10-15, 15-4; vs Ancaster, 15-7, 9-15. Consolation Pool Play: vs Blakelock, 15-8, 15-8; vs Centennial, 15-12, 15-9. Consolation Semis: vs Paul Dwyer, 15-11, 15-5. Consolation Finals: vs Waterloo Collegiate, 5-15, 15-7, 11-15. St. T's was led by the great defensive playing of Chris Duval and Corinna Bourgeois plus the blocking by Lisa Merkley, Jennifer Currie and Chris Duval, who stopped many of Waterloo's strong attacks. The effective and varied setting of Currie and Lisa Quesnelle kept Waterloo offguard. Hitting by all players, kept the offence aggressive. Absence of injured starter Lorraine Lacroix, was certainly a factor in the Crusaders' overall result. Lacroix should be back in the lineup next week.
