It there i\ one thing th.u is for ter

Terence this season, it is that there
are certainly no clear tut fasorites in
either division for the upmmni|i

When asked to name a favorite or
favorites lor the divisional rates
Stanfield was the thoice that toavhes
puked most often as the favorite in
the Eastern Division, but other
toavhes frequently mentioned Hcpp
ner anti t mat ilia as threats to the
Titters while all four teams in the
Western Division have been tabbed
as possible tournament teams
All of the toathes see their teams
as tompetilive throughout the CHC
and there were as many teams pivk
ed as darkhorses m the league as
there were teams thosen as
favorites
Nearly all of the toavhes admit
that Stanfield is the team to watch
with b' bW" junior post Tony

Pilot Rovk seems to be the consen
sus darkhorse of the league because
as Royer said. "they have a few
good young players
However Umatilla has also been
listed as a darkhorse as has River

Heppner was the only team from
the CBC to make it to the state tour

"W e will run the fast break

said
Senior I rent Harrison, b' I” will
be counted on to be the Mustangs in

and play a very instrumental role in
the Heppner attack
"This team compares favorably
