Kiser says Leadership, good attitude key to winning By Julie Miller Of The Print It takes time and practice to make a good basketball team. The players have to know each other’s moves and think as one player. Also, hours of scrimaging and a good mental attitude help reach what’s every coach’s dream—a winning basketball team. “Everybody’s goal at the beginning of the season has to be to win the League,” Coach Royce. Kiser said. “But it’s hard to judge.” “It takes time to train new players” Kiser said, noting that it is hard to put new players on a court and expect them to take charge. They have to be condi tioned to play together as a team and there has to be leadership. To Kiser leadership is one of the big gest parts of a team. He said returning players like Jerry Olsen and Doug Cof fman are providing that. Kiser said they set an example for the younger players. Kiser said this year’s freshmen are “reasonably talented and our depth is as good as we’ve ever had, but the ones who play have been real talented.” He added his team is real quick but the drawback is that the players are not very big. The team will play 26 games and Clackamas is also going to have three scrimages with three four-year schools: George Fox, Columbia Christian and Lewis and Clark. They have already scrimaged among themselves. “Defense was adequate, not good but adequate,” Kiser said, adding that their shot selection at times was “poor.” But there are some quick players and that should be a strong fac tor for this year’s team, he said. Todd Harrington, a 6’4” forward from Hidden Valley (Grants Pass), said, “I think everyone is real com petitive and I can tell they all want to win. I think if we can get those re bounds we should be tough.” Other players on this year’s team are: Tom Bolt, a 6’1” guard from Clackamas, Ted Dozier, a 6’1” guard who red-shirted here last year, Jeff Richards, a 6’1” guard from Beaver ton, Doug Coffman, a 5’10” returning player from last year, Jerry Olsen, a 5’11” returner, Frank Nesbitt, a 6’2” forward from Clackamas, Bugs Coughlin, a 6’2” forward from Oregon City, Lonnie Dennis, a 6’2” guard from Vernonia and Terry Newton, a 6’2” guard/forward from Sunset. The rest of the team is made up of Tim Bless, a 6’4” center who red- shirted here last year, Cary Martensen, a 6’5” center from Canby, Roger Thompson, a 6’7” center from La Salle, Terry Frison, a 6’5” center from Grant and Steve Hansen, a 6’6” center from The Dalles. The guys on the team have high ex pectations about this year. Olsen said, “We have four players from last year, this year we have almost all new guys but I feel pretty good about the team.” The first game is with North Idaho on Nov. 24. Kiser said they are tough but it should be a good game.
