think they will be able to handle
those roles.”
Mikleton, however, is also-
expecting good performances
out of the newer players.
“We have some good talent
coming in from the cross
country and volleyball teams
and I’m expecting a lot from
those players,” Mikleton said.
“They are already in good
condition from their previous
sport and that certainly helps.”
Three such players are Mary
Manley,Lisa Laurent and Nan
cy Perkins, all members of the
Cougar volleyball team and ex
ceptional basketball players as
well.
“Mary, Lisa and Nancy are
going to help out alot,” said
Mikleton? “Mary was her

Lisa was also a real good player
at Clackamas High School.

•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.”
