HOLDING THE ROPE – WOMEN BLUES OFF TO A STRONG START
They may have lost their long time head coach, as after thirteen years at the helm, Paul Chiarenza stepped away from his leadership role, turning the position over to Ramin Sadaghiani.

The result has led to the Blue leaping four spots in the CCAA rankings from 9th to 5th, the highest ranked PacWest team.

Patience is a virtue…..Nathan Yu fills the point for UBC
For most of his basketball career on the Point Grey campus, Nathan Yu has come off the bench to give the Thunderbirds a spark as part of the second unit. In fact, even last year, the team’s second leading scorer only started two of thirty-four games, while averaging 12.8 ppg in just over twenty minutes of action. Entering his fifth and final season in the blue and white, Yu will find himself with a whole new role and responsibility for his team.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend…BC’s Katie Reyes’s makes Canadian Fastpitch Championship debut
Just over a month ago, Softball City welcomed the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship to South Surrey, BC. What was once known as the “Canada Cup” for many years, the Championship committee worked overtime this year to expand the field of competition to include the Futures (U19) and Selects (U16) as part of the nine day event. Whereas the tournament originally showcased the top women’s softball players from around the world, including one of the most well known softball stars, Jennie Finch, young hopefuls from throughout Western Canada got the opportunity to see local greats, Danielle Lawrie and Melanie Matthews don the red and white uniform to showcase their talents. One of those young hopefuls, Katie Reyes from Burnaby, BC has taken up the opportunity and is running the bases with it.
BEHIND THE MASK……….Introducing Miranda Cardinal
As the softball season was “officially” declared open at the start of the month, Miranda Cardinal and the Thunder ’93 team were already well into their schedule. Taking part in an early pre-season tournament in Las Vegas in February, the Thunder ’93 battled every American opponent to the end and highlighted the trip by capturing a victory against an “A” division team from BC. While the record sheet from the tournament did not show positive results in the win/loss column, the growth within the team and competitive juices were kick started. As games progressed Cardinal noticed that every pitch, hit and out made, helped prepare her teammates for the battles they would be sure to come across in their drive for a spot in the provincial tournament.

Baby Steps, Big Dreams
Have you ever wished there was a gym that was always open to train in, or to play pickup in? I’ve always been tired of trying to get a hoop down at a local recreation center, only to be told that there was floor hockey coming in to decimate the gymnasium floor, or a large group of young children to play duck-duck-goose for hours on end, or even something as silly as kite flying. Such a problem is a rarity at Pitt Meadows Secondary School: one can virtually stop at any time at the Pitt Meadows Secondary gym and see the red Ford Ranger and the “COACH G” license plate to know the gym is available. Pitt Meadows Secondary, a school of roughly 1,250, possesses one of the finest programs in the province, built from the ground up by Rich Goulet.
