‘No big deal/ but... Matmen forfeit four By Kelly Laughlin Of The Print E FOR EFFORT—Although the women’s basketball team is suffering through one of their worst seasons ever and lost twice last week to Linn Benton and Blue Mountain, this member of the team exemplifies that the spirit is still there. Photo by Duffy Coffman. “It’s no big deal,” said CCC Athletic Director Chuck Hud son, but due to a league ruling, the Clackamas Community College men’s wrestling team was obligated to forfeit four league matches prior to Jan. 25, the date of. wrestling eligibility for 190-pound CCC wrestler Roy Bonner. Bonner, who transferred to CCC from Oregon State University this fall, technically needed to wait 18 weeks into the school year to be eligible to wrestle for the CCC team. “A misinterpretation of his , tran script,” according to Hudson, resulted in Bonner wrestling ineligibly. Although the ruling does drop the team’s season stan dings from an impressive 14-1 record to 10-5, the change has little effect on the team’s chances at the state title, which they are well on their way to achieving. The forfeited matches add one win each to the slates of Grays Harbor, Linn Benton, Southern Oregon and Umpqua community colleges. All but one of the four dual matches would have been won even without the services of Bonner. Take six points from the CCC grapplers’ 36-14 win over Grays Harbor Jan. 4, the team’s 50-0 romp over Linn Benton Jan. 5, or the 48-3 vic tory over Umpqua Community College Jan. 12, and the grap plers still come out on top. Only the win over Southern Oregon Community College would have resulted in a tie, as the CCC grapplers ended up 24-18 on Jan. 5. At presstime, the Cougars were wrestling Portland State University for their last home match, before traveling to Linn Benton Community College for a 7 p.m. matchup Feb. 15. Saturday, CCC wrestles Cen tral Oregon. The state tourney is slated for Feb. 23. Last Friday, CCC ousted Mt.

For the day the Cougars managed two pins, one by 150-pound Eric Martin over Mike Campbell in 3:07, and! second by Bonner over Mill McCormick in 1:15.

In Coos Bay against Soutfl western Oregon Community College, the Cougars mustered six wins, three by decision, two] by pin and one by forfeit, ltd win 27-16. Rusty Crape took SWOCC heavyweight Kerry Wade to the mat, pinning him in 7:32, and 142-pound Lance Wilson wasted little time against Dave Chambers, pinning him ini 4:57.

Rood By Brian Rood Of The Print Just when it appeared the CCC men’s basketball team could be written off as far as their post-season playoff hopes were concerned, the team came back to play what has probably been their best basketball to date. In7 what turned out to be a virtual blitzkrieg last week, the Cougs won three games in as many outings,, including a “suitable for framing” victory over Southwestern Oregon Community College, who, prior to Saturday’s game with the Cougs, had lost only three other games all year, carrying a 19-3 overall record into the co ntest. Also, Rob Anderson scored a league record 50 points against SWOCC, bet tering last week’s performance in which he scored a school record 45 against Mt. Hood. That, coupled with Anderson’s 32 and 31-point performances against Linn Benton and Bluef Mountain, respectively, earned the talented 'freshman from Annadale High School in Virginia and a former Rose Bowl participant, outstanding player of the week title in the CCC STUDENTS These specials are for you only.

Head Coach Royce Kiser said, “I really don’t know what it is. We have played really good basketball in the last week and a half—probably the best we have played all year.” Kiser also added, “We are get ting some super play out of a lot of players and that really helps.” In the opening game of*the week, the Cougs hosted the Blue Mountain Timberwolves, whom they easily handled last week on the road, arid again handled,' relatively easily at that, dropping the team from Pendleton, 114-95. The Cougs opened up an 18-point lead at the break, 59-41, and would never relinquish the lead throughout the contest. With 8:24 remaining, Kiser went to the bench, allowing them to finish out the game. Behind Anderson’s 31 points Dan Alexander tossed in 22 and pulled down seven rebounds. Bernie Pliska added 13 and Dan Hixson had nine assists. For the Timberwolves, Dennis Boddy tallied 21 while John Kincaid had 17 points and 12 rebounds.
