In pool B play: …………………………………………………… Quebec defeated Manitoba 83-80. “We played Manitoba the last three years and haven’t done very well,” said 26-year-old Quebec coach Eddie Pomykala. “To beat them feels great.

I think the team played pretty well all around.” Co-coach Dave Guss said “it was a great win. There isn’t much you can say about the team. They played extremely well.” Joe Ogoms led Manitoba with 24. Gord Tucker added 20, Willy Parker 13 and Tony Kaufmann 12. David Turcotte led Ontario with 26. Henry added 10. Manitoba led 46-36 at the half. Manitoba coach Dave Guss said “we’ve been planning for the past few years to beat one of the top provinces. B.C. and Ontario are really one-two in the nation. Tonight, we got going and everybody played great for us. I was confident coming in that if we played well it would really be a good game.” Ontario coach Peter Domengoni said “Manitoba played great. Their players were running well and shooting well. We didn’t get into our running game and they took away the sidelines from us.” …………………………………………………… Nova Scotia dumped Newfoundland 73-60 as Howarth scored 20, Morris 11, Durnford 10 and Murphy 10.

As long as they do, we’ll be okay.” Ogoms nailed a 20-footer to draw Manitoba within 30-28 at the half.

In the semis, Alberta edged Manitoba 76-75, despite trailing 40-32 at the half. “We were trying to be cute rather that running the offence the way we can,” said Alberta coach Jack Kenyon. “We didn’t stick to the basics of our offence. We have to play with intensity; scrap for everything we get. We can’t play with reckless abandon, we have to work the ball around and go for the high percentage shots. … That was great. This team is young and relatively small. It has far exceeded my expectations.” Alberta opened the second half with an 8-0 run after moving to a halfcourt press. Alberta took the lead for the first time with just under 13 minutes to play. They increased it to 76-70 with 1:40 to play. But Manitoba narrowed the gap to a single point and a charging foul by Jay Kenyon gave Manitoba the ball with 13 seconds on the clock. Gord Tucker’s jumper with three seconds to play bounced off the rim. “We tightened up our defence,” said Alberta post Mike Kornak, who scored 22. Jay Kenyon added 20 and Patrick Harris 12. Joe Ogoms led Manitoba with 18. Gord Tucker added 17, Perrie Scarlett 9 and Tony Kaufman 9. Manitoba coach Bradshaw said “perhaps beating Ontario Thursday night was our big game in the tournament. Our guys were so excited they couldn’t sleep, but that’s no excuse. I wish we had one guy who played well.”
In the other semi, British Columbia nipped Quebec 70-66 after leading 43-31 at the half. Bob Heiltjes led BC with 19. Mark Staley added 15, Scrubb 12 and Clemens 10. Astley Smith led Quebec with 16. Francis added 13.

In the final, British Columbia defeated Alberta 79-69 to capture its fifth title in six years. “I’m proud of these guys, said BC assistant coach Stu Graham. “The whole coaching staff is proud of them. When we lost to them during the round-robin I think it taught us a lot. Tonight, the guys went right at them and took control of the game. At half time, I have to admit, I was very confident.” BC led 46-30 at the half and 79-59 with two minutes to play before Alberta made it vaguely respectable with a late 10-0 run. Mark Staley paced BC with 16. Cord Clemens and David Lodgins each added 12. Lloyd Scrubb noted 11. Mike Kornak led Alberta with 24.
