The Clackamas Community College wo
men's volleyball team suffered it's first defeat
of the season last week as they lost to Spo
kane Falls, Community College, 7-15, 11-15.
"We simply played rotten," said Head
Coach Mary Rubright, "We stood around
and we simply didn't do the things with the
ball that we are capable of. In other words,
we were lazy."
However, the week started out well as
they defeated one of the toughest volleyball
teams in the Northwest, Mt. Hood, last
Tuesday night.
Mt. Hood won the first game 10-15 as
the Cougars were never really in the game.
However, the Cougars rebounded in the
second game to win 15-8, setting the stage for
the final game.
In game three, the Cougars jumped out to
a 9-2 lead and hung on to win 20-18 as each
team had three game points.
"We simply played super," Rubright said,
"We moved the ball around well on service
and we got great efforts from Tammy Likens,
Karen liames and Verna Simons."
Later that night, the Cougars gained an
easy victory over a first-year team from
Chemeketa Community College, 15-5, 15-8.
"It was easy match because their pro
gram simply isn't up to the level of us or
Mt. Hood," Rubright said.
The Cougars finished the week on a win
ning note as they defeated Portland States
J.V.'s, 15-11 and 15-8 last Friday night.
"We passed the ball better on service,
which enabled us to attack more and as a
result we beat a tough team," Rubright said.
Next week, the Cougars take on Lane
Community College and Chemeketa on Tues
day night and George Fox on Thursday.
The Cougars had run their winning string
to five games as they defeated a tough
Clark team 17-19, 15-6 and 15-8, Umpqua
15-5, 6-15, 15-8 and Linfield before losing
to Spokane Falls last Friday.
Gridders lose close game
By Randy Frank
Of The Print
The Clackamas Community College foot
ball team almost put it all together, but it was
too late as they dropped a close 32-25
decision to highly-touted Wenatchee Valley
Community College Saturday night at Wen
atchee.
Wenatchee Valley, who entered the game
as the top team in the league with a 3-0 rec
ord, broke the ice early,as Ken Mayne passed
52 yards to Miles Richardson for a touch
down and a quick 7-0 lead.
Two fumble recoveries deep inside Cougar
territory led to two more quick scores and as
the first quarter ended, Wenatchee Valley
led 17-0.
However, the Cougar offense finally got
going in the second quarter as they knocked
at Wenatchee's end zone three times, re
sulting in one score.
The Cougars lone scoring drive began as
Pete Danielson ran back a punt 46 yards to
Wenatchee's 47-yard line.
A quick 10-yard run by quarterback Brad
Roberts brought the ball to the 36, from
which Roberts hit Wade Starbuck for the
touchdown. As the half ended, Wenatchee
led 29-7.
Halftime stats show just how much those
early mistakes hurt the Cougars.
While
Wenatchee had 199 total yards, the Cougars
had 169 although they were three touch
downs behind.
It was an inspired Cougar club that began
the second half taking the opening kickoff
and driving 81 yards in just nine plays.
Don Miller took it in from the three and the
Cougars trailed 29-13.
Wenatchee added a field goal and led
32-13 when Cougar linebacker Don Hagen
recovered a fumble on the Wenatchee 47.
Eight plays later, Roberts hit tight end
Rex Schade for the touchdown and the
Cougars trailed 32-19 with just 2:40 left to
go in the ball game.
Wenatchee failed to move the ball on four
downs and was attempting to punt from
their own 23-yard line when Keith Perkins
blocked the punt and it rolled into the end
zone. Steve Maynard recovered it for the
touchdown to make the score 32-25 with
just 1:52 left in the game.

•¡Community College
safety Mark LeRoy made the play of the
game as he stripped the Wenatchee runner of
the ball and Dan Clark recovered to give the
Cougars the ball on their own 38-yard line.
Quarterback Brad Roberts wasted little
time as he hit Starbuck on an 11-yard pass
and then Mike Sprague on a 31-yarder. Fol
lowing a Lucky Richardson run of nine
yards, Roberts hit Kevin Scheehean for 10
yards and the Cougars had the ball first down
on the 13 with 50 seconds left in the game.
However, the Cougars could get no closer
than the nine and the fourth down pass to
Kevin Scheehean was knocked down to give
Wenatchee the ball with just four seconds
left.
This fourth down play turned out to be
the controversial play of the game. Many
felt that pass interference should have been
called which would have given the Cougars
the ball on a first and goal situation and a
good chance to tie the score and send it into
overtime.
Despite the loss, it was by far the Cougars
best effort this season.
Brad Roberts hit on 22 of 42 passes for
251 yards and two touchdowns.
Lucky Richardson rushed 13 times for 69
yards and he also caught six passes for 41
yards.
The Cougar running backs accounted for
141 yards on 41 carries in one of their best
efforts.
Meanwhile the Cougar defense was hold
ing the league's number one passer to an 8
for 20 afternoon and 97 yards before being
knocked out of the game by Mark Leroy in
the fourth quarter.
Individually, Leroy was also the Cougars'
leading tackler with 11.
Steve Maynard, besides recovering the
blocked punt for a touchdown, also re
covered a fumble and intercepted the Cou
gars only pass.
"This was a great team effort because we
didn't lay down when we were so far be
hind and they came back with poise," said
Cougar coach Gery Gehrmann.
"I'm really pleased with the progress
shown by our offense and our offensive,
blocking was especially strong also which en
abled Brad Roberts to throw the ball with
the confidence he did," Gehrmann said.
"But, of course, we all knew it would be
just a matter of time," he said.
And the time is here as the Cougars take
on Walla Walla this Saturday.
