When a basketball team
can dominate the boards, more
often than not they will win the
game. The women’s team did
exactly that and consequently
rolled over the Pacific Universi
ty JV’s 77-59.
The Cougars out rebound
ed Pacific 42-20. Controlling
the glass, Clackamas was able
to shift their running game into
high gear. The Cougars broke
the game wide open over the
final two minutes of the first
half by outscoring their op
ponents 10 to two. At intermis
sion Clackamas had a comfor
table 17 point lead 41-24.
An aggressive one-two-
two zone press kept Pacific off
balance all night. The Cougars
forced 16 turnovers, many of
which resulted in easy lay-ups.
Clackamas continued to press
the entire game. “I don’t let up
on anybody,” Assistant Coach
Phil Garver said.
Garver was also quick to
point out, “they (Pacific)
brought down four varsity
girls.”
When forced to set up an
offense, Clackamas utilized a
perimeter passing game look
ing to pound the ball inside
against the aggressive Pacific
two-three zone.
Kathy Strickler paced for
the Cougars as she netted a
game high 20 points. Strickler
converted eight of 12 from the
floor, four of four in the second
half.
Equally impressive was
Denise Wheatly. When not
leading the fest break, she was
deadly from the perimeter.
Wheatly was successful on
seven of nine field goals at
tempts and ended the game
with 16.
Playing the style of basket
ball that won the Los Angeles
Lakers a World Championship,
the Cougars came out hot in
the second half. At one point
Clackamas reeled off 12
unanswered points to take a 24
point lead. The lead grew as
large as 28 at one point.
“We are really starting to
come along as a team,” Garver
boasted. “I was really proud of
our bench, they played a good
game.” Garver singled out the
play of Lynn Kershaw and
Sherri Bull.
Late in the game Pacific
made a mild run at the
Cougars, hitting nine straight
points. Bull killed the rally,
however, as she suddenly
came alive to score three
straight hoops.
“Mary Christenson did a
good job under the boards,”
pointed out Garver. Sharon
Larson also had a good game
underneath ,all six of her re
bounds coming in the second
half.
Several times in the se
cond half the Cougar machine
sputtered a bit. Garver was
somewhat disappointed with
the patience and execution of
the offense. “We could have
run our offense a little better,”
he stated.
Wrestlers get mixed reviews at
Doc Peterson Invitational

After the first week of
competition, Head Wrestling
Coach Norm Berney has to be
looking optimistically towards
the future.
The cougars handed
Pacific Lutheran University a
decisive defeat, 26-13, then
made a very tough road trip for
two days of wrestling at Chico
State.
Dale Earlywine and Steve
Peters led the way for
Clackamas, each collecting pin
falls, in the victory at PLU.
Earlywine, wrestling at 126
pounds, pinned his opponent
at 1:13 ofthe second round.
He was leading the match 12-0
at that point. The only other fall
of the meet went to the 150
pound Peters. Peters did away
with PLU’s Don Maier in just
2:40.
Mike Bolf also recorded an
impressive 20-7 victory over
his Washington foe in the 142
pound division.
Receiving praise from
Berney was Dan Martin. “He
did a real good job for us at
PLU (5-1 victory),” Berney
said. Unfortunately, Martin was
lost indefinitely with a sprained
ankle during a match at Chico
State.
Despite a 27-17 duel meet
loss to Chico, Coach Berney
was pleased. “We were right in
it,” Berney stated. The Cougar
mentor was also quick to point
out that the four year California
school is ranked 12th national
ly among National College
Athletic Association division
two colleges. “We weren’t
down to weight and just didn’t
wrestle well enough to beat
them,” Berney said, “they had
two really good wrestlers in
their top weights and that’s
where it was decided.”
The next day the Cougar
grapplers again went into ac
tion. This time, to do battle
with 300 other wrestlers, in the
Doc Peterson Invitational, also
at Chico State.
Pacing Clackamas was
sophomore Mike Bolf, who
placed fourth in the 142 pound
classification. Blaine Schutzler,
the only other Cougar to crack
the top six, took sixth at 134
pounds.

These accomplishments
are impressive, but even more
so when Berney pointed out
that Clackamas was the only
junior college at the meet.
Wrestling without Martin
and Spencer Croyalon, who
was put out with a separated
shoulder, the Cougars record
ed 12 points to finish along the
mode of the 30 team tourney.
“We had some guys win
some matches, but it was such
a big tournament,” Berney
said. “We lost a couple of real
close decisions.”
Southern Oregon State
College won the tournament
with 87x/2, followed by OSU
with 83 x /2, and Fresno State
with 56 x /2.
“It’s not going to get any
easier,” Berney said. “We have
North Idaho next, they’re the
number one ranked team in the
Nation (NJCAA).”
