Lisa has a bad knee right now but we don’t anticipate much •problem there. Of course Nan cy will’ really help, not only because of her size (6’1), but because she played an ex cellent post at Sandy,” Mikleton said. Julie Larkins, who ran for Clackamas’ national cross country team as well as playing basketball for Forest Grove last year, will add to the Cougars’ versatility. “Julie can play either guard or swing forward and that makes her pretty valuable,” said Mikleton. “I’ve been pretty impressed by her play so far.” Lisa Raab and Debbie Syring, who played with Tami White while at Centenial High School, should also add to the team’s over-all depth. “Lisa and Debbie are real good all-around players,” said Mikleton. “They look like they’ve been coached real well and that always makes my job easier.” Dana Folmsbee, from Tillamook’s championship Dan Slick and Alan Clevinger look for much needed help.

Steve McPherson, ■Lynn Swann” Simril, and EHeisman” Northcutt, the nights swept through the lesday, Dec. 6,1978 season undefeated, outscoring their opponents 204-6 in five games. Offensively, the champs featured a variety of for mations, including the vefer, wishbone, and USC-I. North cutt, an All-Star receiver from' Newberg, Simril, an> All-Star quarterback-defensive back from Grant, McPherson, an All-State quarterback from Central Catholic, along with John Killeen, wide receiver from Lakeridge, the Scarlet Knights rushed and passed for over 5,000 yards. Also, fullback Wayne Snoderly from Wilson made excellent con tributions. Defensively, the winners were nothing short of devastating. Led by the front line of Randy Rider, Perry ‘Miles and Jeff McCall, All-Stars from Canby, the Scarlet Knights shut out their last four opponents. In the final, the Knights in tercepted 10 passes, four by McPherson and two by North cutt. Each of them returned one for a touchdown in the first half and Simril scored twice to stake the Knights to a 35-0 halftime lead. In the second half, two touchdowns by Snoderly, a TD by McCall and the option execution of QBs Simril and McPherson were just too much for. the. Dancers, coached by Miles and Rider, plus the blit zing of Killeen, foiled all hopes of a Dancer comeback. Everything the Scarlet Knights tried to do seemed to work. Had the. game been soc cer, Taylor’s Dancers might have had a chance as they spent most of the afternoon trying to catch the ball with their heads and feet, instead of using their hands. In the end, everyone was smiling. Taylor’s men laughed at the joke of a game while the Scarlet Knights spent most of the evening laughing at the jokers who said they played football. /MIIWIIIKIE R4CQUETBÆL CLUB SPECIAL STUDENT RATES o*M $35^ • 10 Championship Courts • Weight & Exercise Room • Jaeuzzi & Sauna • lesson & Tournament NO MONTHLY WES NO MEMBERSHIP CONTRACTS c# 659-3845 Page 9 I
