Maynard and Patnode achieve National berths
The College men's tennis team
reached the pinnacle of success
in their four year history last
week as Mike Maynard and Bud­
dy Patnode combined to take
both the singles and doubles
Regional crowns.
.The wins qualify them for the
National Junior College tennis
tournament at
Waco, Texas,
May 23-27.
Head coach
Rich Taylor
hopes to get Maynard seeded in
the tournament if possible. This
would mean that he would have
to play the 33rd place finisher
instead of a Regional champ in
his first round.
"Admittedly their chances of
winning the whole thing is an
outside one at best, but, if they
play up to their potential they
should be competitive and win a
few matches," Taylor said.
"I, feel that I have just as
good a chance of winning as any­
body there and I expect to win
the national crown," Maynard
said.
Maynard began the tourna­
ment seeded third. The drop
came as a result of his loss to
John Delaney in the finals of
the State tournament.
The first match at State was
close until Maynard received a
break point with the score 4-3.
He went on to defeat John
Collins
of
Treasure Valley,
6-3, 6-2.
Maynard turned in one of the
finest matches of the season in
his second match as he took on
Mark Morton. Morton is known
to have one of the hardest serves
in the Region. Maynard attacked
the net well and continually
countered Morton's serve with
passing shots down the lines. He
went on
to win the match,
6-1,6-4.
In the finals, Maynard's sheer
intensity and desire, along with
superior conditioning
enabled
him to gain revenge on Delaney,
6-3, 6-4.
"When the score was tied 4-4
in the second set, Delaney hit a

Dave Lemons won the open
19-29 division of the singles
tournament held at the college
on Saturday.
Vivian Holman
was the winner in the women's
division.
"We had some really good
competition in the open divi­
sion,"
Paul Fiskum, College
community recreation director
said. "The numbers were disap­
pointing though, only about 30
people came out.
I think it
could be because of the weather.
A lot or people just haven't had a
chance to get their games in
shape yet."
Fiskum
plans two tourna­
ments this summer. One will be
held in conjunction with Oregon
City's Territorial Days festival
on June 30, July 1 and 2. The
other will be August 17, 8, 19
and 20.
Buddy Patnode, a men's ten­
nis team member, took second to
Lemons
with Jerry Crimins,
Clackamas men's high school
tennis coach third.
Bonnie Schroeder
finished
second in the playoffs while Sue
Schakel and Linda Pottratz were
in at third and fourth.
Steve Bletscher of Clackamas
won the high school play and
West Linn's Jeff Carlson and
Mike O'Connell were the run­
ners-up.

Clackamas in at 59 points.
Also competing in the tourna-l
ment for Clackamas were Rich
Bobzein and Sam Picken. How­
ever, both drew Regional champs]
from their brackets and although]
both players played as well as]
they could, it was simply tol
much to ask.

singles champion from Norther!
Idaho defeated Bobzein 6-1,7-5,
Picken lost to the number foil
singles champion, Mark Bastog
6-1, 6-4.

Patnode also took third hi
Northern Idaho, 7-6, 4-6, 7-6.
In the first set, Clackamas
dominated the tie breaker 7-1 to
win the set. In the second set,
with the score
4-5 Patnode
double-faulted three times to
give Northern Idaho the victory.
The final set, with the score
even at 6-6 found Clackamas
trailing 5-6. They were helped
along with Patnode's overhead
which tied the score.
Maynard then used a different
kind of serve and the ball floated
Wide on the return to
give
Clackamas the point, the set, and
the Regional crown.
The win marked the highest
finish by a Clackamas doubles
team and raised their record to
19-1.
. Novice division found R. Tra­
bacca first with college faculty
members Paul Fiskum and Dan
Connell second and third. Chet
Taylor was fourth.
"Crimins really played a lot."
Fiskum said. "He is actually in
the over-30 bracket, which he
won handily.
He wanted to
play though, so I let him."
Crimins won the over-30 age
group.
Chuck Geldecker was
second, Walt Ostergeard third,
and Richard Pottratz fourth.
Fourth in the 19-29 division
was former Cougar, Steve Wil­
liams, and in consolation was a

year, Phil Rider.

nard lobbed but Delaney hit the
shot into the net," Taylor said.
Maynard went on to win the set
and the Regional crown."
The wins bring Maynard's
record at Clackamas to 44-4.
Maynard is also the closest Cou­
gar before this year to capture a
Regional crown as he took fourth
last year.
In doubles, the team of May­
nard and Patnode were seeded
second because it was felt that
North Idaho's team was tougher
despite the Cougars state crown.
Maynard and Patnode started
off the tournament with a rela­
tively easy victory over Lane's
team of Knudson and Lott,
6-0, 6-2.
They had their hands full in
the second match as Central Ore­
gon's team of Delaney and May-
all were out to revenge their
state finals loss to Maynard and
Patnode, but the Cougars won
2-6, 6-2, 7-5.
"Ths kev in that match is
that our guys were more intense
during service. In fact, the de­
ciding game of the final set was
decided when Mayall double­
faulted three times," Taylor said.
The finals match turned out
to be one of the classics of the
season, as Maynard and Patnode
