Florida or bust
Men roll over Regional comp
By Rob Conner

Men’s Tennis Coach Dave
Buckley had been confident all
year of his team’s chances of
capturing the Region 18 cham­
pionship. But who would have
ever guessed they would do it
with such ease?
The Cougar men, who will
leave for Florida Saturday, May
21, began the cakewalk on their
home courts Friday, May 13. All
six Clackamas singles players
and all three doubles teams were
awarded top seeds. They did not
disappoint their coach and
finished the day with an un­
blemished record and nine
points.
Rain postponed play
Saturday, which forced action to
resume inside the confines of the
Willamette Racquet Club. The
new environment did little to slow
the Cougar attack, as they
continued to dominate play.
Clackamas won seven of nine
matches on the final day to total
16 points. North Idaho and Mt.
Hood each finished with five,
Blue Mountain posted one, and
Linn-Benton failed to score.
The team’s only two losses
came at the hands of North Idaho
of Couer d’Alene. Idaho’s Ken
Plank was able to upset top­
seeded, number-one Cougar John
Storm in a surprisingly easy
fashion, 6-1 and 6-4. “I think I just
tried too hard,” Storm later
commented. Despite the loss, the
Clackamas sophomore was still a
unanimous selection for the All­
Region team.
Number two singles player
Byron Sullivan did away with Mt.
Hood’s Brad Collins, and thus
earned a spot on the All-Region
squad. After blitzing Collins 6-1 in
the first set Sullivan was taken to
the wire in the second set, but
held on to win a thriller 7-6.
Freshman Tom Hercamp
defeated North Idaho’s Curt
Clemens in straight sets 6-4 and 6-
3. Hercamp was also named All­
Region and has played consistent
all year for the Cougars.
However, Hercamp will
relinquish his number three spot
to Bob Martin for the National
tournament.

The controversy of the day
surrounded fourth man Bob
Martin. Martin was left off the
Regional team via the coaches’
balloting. No reason for this was
given to Martin. Despite
thrashing Mt. Hood’s K.C.
Besterfeld in straight sets 6-3 and
6-3, then teaming with Mike
Wofford to win second doubles 6-
3, 5-7 and 6-2, Martin was still
shunned. “They were just
making an example of me, they
didn’t like my style,” Martin
said.
Fifth man Steve Gorman
earned an All-Region berth by
holding off the challenge of Mt.
Hood’s Dean Round 7-6 and 6-2.
Ben Campbell dealt Mt. Hood’s
Dave Culmettes a decisive defeat
Byron Sullivan
of 6-1 and 6-2.
Clackamas’ top doubles team
The third doubles team of
and Regional favorites, John
Storm and Byron Sullivan were Hercamp and Gorman easily
upset in a straight sets loss at the bettered Blue Mountain’s duo of
hands of North Idaho’s team of Abrey and Morton by a score of 6-
3 and 6-4.

Coach Hudson blames ‘short game’ as weak link
By Buck Jennings

Traveling to Longview last
week for two matches, the
Cougar golf team failed to hit a
stroke of luck, taking second in a
triangular match and placing
fifth in the Lower Columbia
College Invitational.
In the triangular match, the
last official league match, the
Clackamas golf team was
plagued with high scores and took
second place with a score of 320.
Tacoma Community College won
the match with a 309 and Lower
Columbia College settled for
third with a 366.
Individual Cougar scores
included Dave Stephen’s 77, Tom one man, Douig Stephens, shot a
Thompson’s 79, Dave Reichert’s one-over-par 72, Tom Thompson
80, and Andy Goodard and Steve had a 77, Steve Miles shot an 82,

Another situation that has
hampered the competitiveness of
the Cougars is the absence of
Todd Frederichs.

invaded Clackamas Community
College with the Sid Lopez Second
Annual Martial Arts Tour­
nament.
The tournament is not just an
ordinary exhibition of martial
arts, as it drew the best talent
from the Northwest, California
and Canada. Included in the
competition was Al Dacosco, a
Hall of Fame Black Belt mem­
ber, who Lopez predicts will
become almost as famous as
Bruce Lee.
Lopez estimated over 600
people competed in this year’s
tournament, which is an increase
of more than 100 percent from
last year’s tournament. Lopez
feels the increase came about
from recognition the event has
received.
Each match consisted of one
two-minute round with a total of
three points. As soon as either
competitor was awarded the full
three points the match was over.
If it lasted the full two minutes
the leader at the end was an­
nounced the victor. To score, the
person must strike their opponent
with a focusing technique that is
visible to the referee.
The fighting matches in­
cluded light contact, but facial
contact was not allowed in the
three lower age group divisions.
Since it was light contact, Lopez
said, if bleeding or a visible
bruise appeared the offender was
disqualified.
