Cougars win final game , 14-6
The College's football team ended their
season on a high note Saturday as they de
feated Treasure Valley 14-6. The Cougars
put on one of their strongest defensive
efforts of the season.
The Cougar defense was at times simply
awesome.
They completely shut off the
Treasure Valley offense and they limited
them to just 45 yards on 5 for 16 passing and
109 yards rushing on 46 carries with Tom
Fuller accounting for 95 of those 209
yards.
Further proof of their dominance was
that the Cougars ran 82 offensive plays to
Treasure Valley's 62--for the most offensive
yardage of the season.
The Cougars opened the scoring early as
they drove 36 yards for a touchdown,
following a tumble recovery. Don Miller took
it from the one-yard line to give the Cougars
the early lead 7-0.
The Cougars scored again in the first
quarter as they drove 62 yards for the
touchdown. Lucky Richardson took it in
from the four-yard line to make the score
14-0.
However, the end of the first quarter
brought the season to a close for Robert;,
4-4 and 62 yards. He suffered a hand injury
and had to leave the game. Richardson, who
had 37 yards on 5 carries, was knocked out
with a concussion.
Backup quarterback Tom Hagensen step-
ed in and did a strong job as he guided the
team to one touchdown and completed 8
passes in 12 attempts for 74 yards.
Before the half ended. Treasure Valley
scored their only touchdown of the game
when Fuller caught a nine-yard pass from
Jeff Kenney. The extra point failed and
Clackamas led at the half 14-6.
In the second half neither team mounted a
serious threat until Treasure Valley drove to
the Clackamas 18 yard line. With 57 seconds
left they were unable to score and time ran
Statistically, it was the Cougars game
the way as they had 18 first downs
Treasure Valley's 9, and 286 total yards
their 154.
Both their passing and running games
featured season highs as the 12-18 combined
passing was by far the highest of the season
and Ed McCallister's 73 yards rushing was
also a season high.
Defensively, Keith Perkins led the team
in tackles with 14 (6 solo and 8 assisted).
Marty Pinz had 12 (5 solo and 7 assisted) but
the totals were down since the offense had
the ball so often.
Mark LeRoy played his last game as a
Cougar and picked off his sixth pass of the
season. He set a school career record for
interceptions with 13.
Later in the half he became a star of a
much different sort. He was kicked out of
the game following a fight that emptied
both benches.
LeRoy had just kicked a fourth down punt
when a player from Treasure Valley delivered
a late hit that knocked LeRoy to the ground.
LeRjy got up and chased the offender and
the fight ensued.
"It was a great win because our defense
stopped them so completely, especially their
passing game," said Cougar linebacker Rocky
Schneider. "That goal line stand at the end
of the game was just great to be a part of. It
showed the team's spirit and pride and it
was just a great experience."
Assistant Coach Dave Brown added much
the same feeling. "The team did just a super
job for having those key injuries and then
coming back and holding onto the victory,"
he said. "It goes a long way to show the
true character of this team, a team that
refuses to quit."
"The only regret I have is that we didn't
win by a bigger margin so the players who
haven't had a chance to play could have seen
some action because they all have worked so
hard this season," Brown said.
