■ In the past week the
Blackamas women’s basketball
Bam came one game short of
Bening out their record at 6-6.
B The Cougar women couldn’t
Biite pull it through, and took a
■8-58 defeat, to drop to a 5-7
Bcord.
1 The Cougars started off their
Beek with a 3-6 record until
Bey beat Blue Mountain C.C.,
■-48, and then came home to
Bat Southwestern Oregon
■.C., 76-62 to bring their
■ague record to 5-6 for Satur-
day night’s game at the College
Bainst Lane C.C., who had
the same record at the game’s
Bset.
•“We were a little stale,” com-
mented Coach Nancy Mikleton
on the women’s performances
against Lane. “Our timing was
off that night. Every team has
one of those games once in a
while.”
“We weren’t getting a good
balance,” said Mikelton. She
said that the team has to play a
balanced game, with at [east
four Cougar players in double
figures. Only two Clackamas
players were in double figures,
Jamie Hill, the game’s leading
scorer with 20 points, and Cih-
di Johnson with 11.
With Lane having a 6’1,”
center it might have been a
problem, but Mikelton said “the
big girl (Willow Williams) was
just big-we were more con
cerned about their outside
ougars edge
