Provincials weekend great for Lakers teams
BY JOHN MATHER
The Lamont Lakers had a very successful basketball season this year but in the end they came up a bit short at the provincial 2-A championships last weekend.
The Senior Boys team competed in Peace River, while the Senior Girls played in High Level.
The girls went into their first game ranked 12th in the tournament and they were up against the fifth ranked Three Hills squad. The Lakers dropped a very close game by a 56-50 margin.
In game two, the Lakers played the ninth seeded High Level team and won by a 54-50 margin.
In their third game the Lakers won 52-29 over the sixth seeded Acme squad.
The two and one
($2,000), the Chipman Agricultural Society, Alden Auto, and Andrew Lions Club among others.
There was then a live auction which was also accompanied by a silent auction.
St. Michael Agricultural Society president Chris Klita said he was one of more than 40 volunteers that helped make the more than 3,000 pierogies and other Ukrainian delicacies that were served.
According to local organizer Mae Adamyk more than 350 people attended on Mar. 18. She added the event was so popular people were ordering tickets for next year’s event.
As people were leaving, however, there was some confusion in the coatroom which resulted in a person taking the wrong leather jacket home. Organizers have asked that the person contact the St. Michael Hall and they would try to put jackets with the rightful owners.
