Scott Bowles did his work on the defensive end while Ashley Patzer was at her best leading offensive forays, but the one thing they had in common was their ability to lead. The duo took home honours as Pronghorn Male and Female Athletes of the Year respectively, celebrating with more than 330 athletes, administrators and special guests at the recently held Pronghorn Athletics Blue and Gold Banquet.

Bowles, in his third year as the Horns men's hockey team goaltender, was at his best in the second half of the season as the Horns made an impressive playoff charge, eventually falling just two points shy of reaching the post-season.

Bowles was named a second team Canada West all-star after leading the conference in saves and most shots faced and placing second in victories.

Patzer, competing in her final season of eligibility, went out with a bang, leading the Pronghorns to their third straight Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) national title while earning CIS player of the year, all-Canadian and CIS tournament all-star honours.

The Horns went undefeated throughout the year and Patzer led the charge, scoring 75 points in the 10 U of L victories. It is Patzer's second straight female athlete of the year award.

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge men's basketball coach Dave Adams completed his revamping of the Horns squad today with the announcement of four more commitments for the upcoming season.

After three seasons with the Red Deer Kings in the ACAC, first team ACAC All-Star Randy Davis transfers to the Horns. The 6'4" wing averaged 17.3 points in 20 conference games last season, while helping the Kings finish second in the ACAC South Division with a 15-5 record.

"We are thrilled to have Randy join the Horns, as he brings scoring, coach ability and maturity," said Coach Adams.

A pair of versatile players will also join the Horns next season, as combo wing/posts Taylor Norum and Wes Chapman will don the blue and gold next season.

Norum, a 6'7" High River product, was a member of two medal winning Alberta Provincial teams and a member of Basketball Canada Centre for Performance. Taylor comes to the Horns after spending last year in Sweden.

"Taylor is a valuable addition to Horns Nation with his tremendous skill set for a big man," stated Adams.

"Stanley will add athletic depth and bring an exceptional work ethic to our squad next season," said Adams.

Should Dave Adams and Donna Branch need to document the recruiting costs for their latest point guard acquisitions, the ledger could read, "Two for the Price of one".

Pronghorns basketball, both men's and women's, got a big boost this week when the husband/wife duo of Jeff Price and Stephanie Price (Elford) decided to suit up in blue and gold this fall. For Stephanie, it's a return to the U of L, where she played point guard for two seasons before taking a year off of school last season. For Jeff, it's back to the hardwood but in a new locale after he too took a year off following seasons with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary Dinos and Mount Royal College Cougars.

Stephanie, a five-foot, six-inch, Calgary native led the Horns in scoring during the 2007-08 season averaging 13.4 points per game, while also contributing 3.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. In 44 career games, 32 times as a starter, Stephanie compiled 429 points.

Jeff enters his fourth year of eligibility after playing with the Dinos and in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference with the Mount Royal Cougars.

During his only season with the Dinos, Price averaged 12.3 points and 5.2 assists in over 33 minutes per game and was a member of a Dino team that finished with the best record in the Central Division and hosted the Canada West Final Four in 2007-08.

As a Cougar, Price was named a CCAA All-Canadian and the Mount Royal Male Athlete of the Year for 2006-07.

"We are delighted to announce that Jeff Price will be joining the team next season. Jeff is a proven winner at every level he has played," said Horns Head Coach Dave Adams. "Jeff is an invaluable addition to the team as he allows people to play at their natural positions, and will empower the Horns to play at the pace we need to succeed."

Both programs will add to their respective recruiting classes in the coming weeks, leading up to the start of the Canada West schedule Oct. 30, on the road in Edmonton. The Horns' home opener is Nov. 7 versus the Regina Cougars.
