8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 9,1991 Volleyball Sensation at Clarke High School by Brad Kelly Orono's Dustin Reid didn't spend litis past summer the way in which most of his 17-ycar-old friends did. Like many of his friends, he worked. Sometimes as many as 10 hours a day, three days a week. But he didn't receive receive a paycheque for his efforts. efforts. As a member of Ontario's Provincial Volleyball team this past summer, Reid's paycheque paycheque may have a monetary value equal to that of a university university scholarship. The hours he spent with Ontario's best volleyball players under the age of 20, did have its price. For starters, starters, the social life that most kids his age enjoy was nonexistent. nonexistent. "You cat, drink and sleep volleyball," he said ot his experience experience this past summer. "You have fun with the players in between, but there's no social life. "It took a lot of work. The last year has been the best for me. It (playing for the provincial provincial team) improved me because because the coaches were exceptional. exceptional. "I've been fortunate to have a lot of great coaches." It was his first season with the provincial team, leaving him eligible to represent Ontario Ontario for lire next two years. He was invited to the provincial provincial selection camp after a recruiter from the provincial team recognized his talents while lie was playing club volleyball in Toronto. He was one of the lucky 14 players to make die team from the origi nal 100 that were invited. His selection came as no surprise to his current coach at Clarke High School, Lyn Lowry. "He works very hard and has high demands for himself," himself," said Lowry. "He has established high goals for himself. He's not satisfied with being average." The provincial team competed competed in two tournaments over the summer, one in Saskatchewan Saskatchewan and the other in Quebec. In the Quebec tournament, tournament, the country's national national championship, Ontario earned a silver medal, losing to the host Quebec team in the gold medal game. Coming back to play high school volleyball can be considered considered a step back, despite playing for one of the best 'A' schools in the province at Clarke. Despite his impressive impressive credentials on the court, he doesn't try to do too much and overshadow his teammates. teammates. "He's very aware of the fact that it being a team game in volleyball, no one man can dominate," said Lowry. That's the attitude that Reid brings to every game. He's not a selfish player by any means. "I try not to put a lot of pressure on myself. If I go out and just do my part and try to do what I can do, we have enough good flayers on the team we can win if they do what they can do as well." The highlight of the high school year will be the Canadian Canadian Classic tournament at. Dalhousic University in New Brunswick this weekend. Two years ago, Clarke returned returned home with the silver medal. More . importantly, the tournament will be a showcase showcase for Reid and the other players on the team who arc entertaining the thought of going to university to play volleyball. Playing at the university level is something coach Lowry feels that Reid is quite capable of doing. "If he wishes," said Lowry Lowry of Reid's chances. "I think he'll probably choose to stay Canadian. I certainly think he can play university ball. "I imagine he has some goals higher than that." There are only a couple of alternatives higher than university: university: playing nationally or professionally. Both options have crossed Reid's mind. ■ "I'm just going to try and keep improving every year, that's what I've been trying to do all along," he said. "Five or six years down the road, if university goes well and I keep improving, then we'll see what happens. "Sometimes I look at it (playing for Canada) and I think it's a possibility. To play on the national team -- it's more than a dream. "To play professional in Europe would be a little more realistic. That would be more of a goal." He'll be an asset to any team, regardless of what route he chooses.

KNOCKOUT -- Bowmanville's Nick Rupa continued his J march towards a world boxing title last Tuesday night. The judges awarded him every round of his 10-round welterweight fight for a unanimous decision. The broken hand he sustained in the summer was not a factor in the fight.

Nick's mother, Sherry, who watched the fight via a satellite dish, was quite upset by the dirty tactics of the opponent. By the sounds of it, the opponent was lucky Sherry wasn't at. ringside.

His three goals give him four on the year, after scoring his first of the season in à 4-3 loss in Uxbridge to open the season on Friday night, "(I'm) just trying to get in front of the net more," said Goode, who also added an assist. assist. "The forwards aren't as strong this year, so I have to pick up the slack a little bit." His output in the first two games is a welcome sight for coach Mike Noonan, who praised the play of his newfound newfound sniper. "He's playing hockey the way he should be playing. I think Greg has finally realized realized that he has to put out to get a regular shift and if he keeps putting out, he'll get a regular shift."

Lakefield scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, once on a rebound by Jones and, another on a slapshot from the blueline by Bullock that goal tender Chris Massey was screened on. The Eagles played an undisciplined undisciplined period, getting involved involved in pushing and shoving shoving matches after every whistle. With four regulars out of the lineup, their bench strength was weak at best. At one point in the period, the Eagles had five players in the penalty box, and only six left on the bench. The riot act was read to them between periods. "I said that I didn't know what some of you (the players) arc doing here because because it looked like they didn't want to be here," said Noonan of the one-sided discussion discussion between periods. "I told them if they didn't want to be here they could take off the equipment and we'd go with two lines." The fear instilled into them worked. After Goode's two goals tied the game, the Eagles were able to pick up the tempo; They cleaned up the play in their own zone, and were able to mount an offensive offensive attack. That's something something they were unable to do in the first period.

Goode collected his hat- trick three minutes into the third period. He picked up a loose puck inside Lakefield's blueline, wheeled, and fired a snapshot into the far side. Alter a shaky start, Massey Massey settled down to give the Eagles some solid netmind- ing. The defence were able to keep the majority of Lake- field's shots from a distance, while reducing the number of second and third chances on rebounds. Both the play of Massey and the defence drew'praise from Noonan. "We've got to have 100% from all these guys...Massey is still making the big saves like he did last year and the defence is playing well in front of our net."
