Sports Showdown tonight Santos eyes S.P.U. By Rob Conner Of The Print The big one is this after noon. Possibly the biggest game of the season for Janos Santos’ soccer team will be played here, at the College, at 4:30. The game pits Santos’ club, 6-1, against Seattle Pacific University, a team Santos feels, at the moment, is the best on the West coast. The fiery coach is confident of his team’s chances, how ever. “I am very confi dent. The team has set a goal. We will be very competitive,” he stated. Of Clackamas’ most re cent game, a 13-0 trouncing of Columbia Christian, Santos admitted it was no way to come in to such n important contest. “It was embar rassing,” the coach said simply. “It’s going to be in teresting, we’ll see what we are made of,” Santos said of the upcoming match. “I have worked out some good tactics,” he added. The big question is, can the stingy Cougar defense, spearheaded by central defender Mike Rhodes, con tain the offensive attack of Seattle Pacific. Defenders Scott Galloway, Tim Cho quette, Jim Keough, and Rhodes have aided greatly in the fact that Steve Enos has rolled up 310 minutes of con secutive scoreless play. Enos has only allowed six goals in the first seven games. The coach realizes, win or lose, the most important goal this year is to win the state ti tle. “It’s our last chance (next year they will be in another league). In the last three years we won it once and lost in the finals twice. It’s our turn this year,” Santos commented. Santos attributes his teams success this season to team unity. “Everyone is pull ing for one another.Team wise we are 100 miles, well about 97 miles, ahead of where we were last year.” The 13-0 drubbing of Col umbia Christian upped Clackamas’ season total to 37 goals in seven games. Even without the thirteen goals the Cougars are averaging four goals per game. LeRoy Neil picked up a hat-trick as he led a balance scoring attack in the win over Columbia Christian. Brian Gorsek, John Kashaba, and Tim Canfield each collected two goals. Canfield was also credited with three assists. Clackamas led eight to nothing at halftime. Woods ’ philosophy 100 percent effort The Clackamas volleyball program has always been traditionally strong. Hoping to add to that strength is the new ringleader, Kathi Woods. “Clackamas has always had a strong reputation in volleyball,” Woods said.' “I would like to maintain that reputation and improve the winning percentage" each year.”“ Linn-Benton was Wood’s home for the past two years, but a full-time teaching posi tion and the Cougars strong reputation drew her away from the Corvallis school. “In the two years I was there (Linn-Benton) we took a non-competitive program and made it into a competitive team,” Woods said. “I like the school but they did not have the budget for a full-time teaching position.” With her foot barely in the door at Linn-Benton, the opening at Clackamas lit Woods’ eyes. Not only was it a chance to coach a winning team but a full-time teaching position also. Before coaching at Linn- Wednesday October 12,1983 Benton, Woods only other ex perience was as an assistant at local Lakeridge High School in 1978. Her playing ex perience includes two years at Oregon State University. “Ever since I was in school I knew that I wanted to coach at the community col lege or college level,” the coach said. “Now given this opportunity, it is my chance to make the most of it.” On the trip up to Clackamas, Woods brought more than just her belong ings—her top player from a year ago and her top recruit this year. “My philosophy is to do the best that I can 100 percent of the time,” Woods said. “I love volleyball and love to see the girls work hard, and for them to see themselves im prove—that is the best part.” With her first season as head master at the Cougar program still in its earlier stages, Woods feels that her team has accepted her dif ferent style and philosophies of the game.
