Maynard, the first singles Reg
ional Champion was eliminated
in the first round after losing to
A. Prueter from Henry Ford
College in Michigan, 6-4,5-7,6-3.
"The problem is that only 11
of 22 regional champs become
seeded and rarely does a player
from the Northwest get seeded,"
Taylor said. "We simply don't
play enough big names."
If Maynard would have been
seeded he would have played the
third place finisher in the Region
instead of the Regional champ
ion.
"Maynard got to bed at a
decent time for the northwest,

really had an effect on him when

the next morning," Taylor said.
"It's too bad, if Mike would
would have played up to his po
tential he probably would have
been in the top eight of the
tournament," Taylor said.
Patnode also lost in first
round competition, he falling to
the nubmer eight seed in the
tournament, Chris Bernstein of
Shriner, Texas, 6-0,6-1.
"Buddy's problem was that
he felt lik& he was the worst
player in the tournament, and he
simply went out and tried to
prove that. He had no intensity
at all," Taylor said.
In doubles action, Maynard
and
Patnode won the first
round defeating Siegel and Alek
from
Nassau College in New

most missed hits," Taylor said.
"However, in the second set
Maynard and Patnode came out
and took control of the match.
They won a couple of games by
love scores and won the match
in a very close final game."
In the second round, Clacka
mas lost to the number three
doubles team in nation, Latrell
and Rivera from Midland,Texas,
6-4,6-1.
Clackamas led 3-1 in the first
set but missed two critical shots
and never got another chance.
The Texas team won 11 of the
next 13 games in the tourney for
the easy victory.
"When they missed those,
shots in the first set I knew they
were in trouble.
You simply
can't gave a good team a couple
of .points," Taylor explained.
"They won't let you back in."
Dave Andersen, the soph
omore centerfielder from Da
vid Douglas
High School,
took the top baseball honor
ths season. He was named
the team's

1978 season.
Andersen, hit a .394 and
led the league with six triples,
and was also named to the
First All-Star team and was

year of competition,
took us to the national tourna
ment and we can keep looking
for better things every year,"
Taylor said.

Maynard on the doubles team
that went 23-3 over two years

his play from the start of the
season to the end of the season,"
head coach Rich Taylor said.

beneficiary of the Dave Lemon
Court Conduct award.
The
awardis given to the player who
shows bad temperment on the

Riggs. He complimented them
on fine seasons despite the fact
that neither had any high school
competition.
"Dwayne Wiegand,
could
practice only three nights a week
finally broke into the lineup at
the end of the season," Taylor
said. "Phil Rider, who played
only one competitive match dur
ing the season, but both gave
me a lot of encouragement on
what to expect for next season."

Golden Glove Award and Bob
Simril, who set school re
