The Clackamas volleyball
team has been very busy the
past week. They beat Linn-
Benton last .Wednesday, Oct.
31 in three out of four games.
The scores were 15-3, 9-15,
15-8 and 15-7 respectively.
“We went there to win and
we did. We accomplished a
major goal,” coach Kathie
Woods said.
Since player Carrie Moore
was out because of the flu, the
team had to change their of­
fense from a 6-2 setup to a 5-1.
That did not stop the team
from bringing home a victory,
however.
“The team adjusted well to
a different offense on the spur
of the moment, and even
though we played a so so game
we raised our league record to
three wins and three losses,”
Woods said.
In the game, Jenny
Holzemer was 14 but of 14 for
serving and she had 24 assists.
Bev Lovering led the team
with eight kills (a spike that
hits the floor untouched), and
Carrie Coe was second with
seven. Kathy Collins followed
with six.
Then, last weekend, Nov. 2
-3, the Volleyball team went to
Seattle for the Shoreline Com­
munity Crossover Tourna­
ment, where they won the
Championship.
At a crossover tournament
every team competing plays
each other and then is either
placed in the championship or
the consolation bracket, ac­
cording to their winning
records. There are two
crossover tournaments
in a
season and this was the second
one.
After playing all the other
schools Clackamas was seeded
second behind Chemeketa.
In
the
semi-finals
Clackamas played Lower Col­
umbia and “totally dominated
the floor,” Woods said. “You
have to go out there and set up
the momentum and we did,”
she added, Lower Columbia
was pumped, but Clackamas
beat them in-two games, 15-6
and 15-2. “Basically, this was
our best match of the year. We
worked well as a team. We
were organized and the players
were fulfilling their respon­
sibilities,” Woods said.
Winning this game advanc­
ed Clackamas to the cham­
pionship game against
Chemeketa, the only other
school from Oregon.
In the championship game
the score was tied at eight, but
Clackamas proceeded to win
both games with the same 15-8
LES KINGSBURY DEMONSTRATES perfect technique in passing the ball onto a teammate.
score. “Volleyball is a pretty
sport when it is played 100 per­
cent together, and this cham­
pionship was well earned,”
Woods said.
In the last game, Carrie
Moore led the team’s hitting
with 20 for 22, four kills and
10 assists. Carrie Coe hit 10
for 10, six of them were kills.
Bev Lovering had an excellent
game with four hard, sharp
kills; three stuff blocks and
four ace serves. Jenny
Holzemer had two stuff blocks
and eight assists and Les
Kingsbury and Kelly Burrows
also did well with combined
stuff blocks. Over all the team
was 54 out of 56 (96 percent)
for serving, 30 for 39 (77 per­
cent) for serve receiving.
Today, Nov. 7, Clackamas
will play Lane. Community
College in Eugene at 7 p.m.
Clackamas played Lane twice
before and has won once. This
Friday
and
Saturday
Clackamas will^play their iast
home games against Mount
Hood and Chemeketa. These
are considered to be two of the
toughest games this year and
the team encourages everyone
to come out and watch.
On a special note, the All
League All-Stars vote has
taken place, and congratula­
tions to Carrie Moore and Les
Kingsbury, Clackamas team
captains, for being chosen for
the second team of Division 4
in Oregon.
Cougar runners prepared for
NWAA CC Championship meet

Running five miles is not an
easy task. With 200 other run­
ners breathing down your
neck, running gets even
harder. Competing in the most
important cross-country meet
of the season would make
most people nervous wrecks.
Yet, Clackamas Community
College’s men’s cross-country
team remains calm and ready.
On Nov. 9, the team will be
competing at the Northwest
Athletic Association of Com­
munity Colleges (NWAACC)
Championship cross-country
meet in Spokane, Wash. Com­
munity college cross-country
teams from all over Oregon
and Washington will be par­
ticipating at the meet.
Head Coach Alan Knoop
feels that his team is ready for
the upcoming championship
meet. Unfortunately, two run­
ners will be unable to compete
in the meet due to illness and
injury and the flu. Billy Ray is
also out due to illness.
Coach Knoop has especially
high hopes for Cougar runner
Rob Durkee, though. He said
Durkee is healthy and has real­
ly been coming on strong in
previous meets. Coach Knoop
feels Durkee will be right up
with the leaders at the cham­
pionship meet on Friday.
To prepare for the meet,
Knoop is having the team run
intervals and some light “easy
running.” Knoop explained
they would be having easier
.workouts this week to rest up
for the big meet.
Julie Siler will be the only
girl competing for Clackamas
at the meet. Mo Schrader will
be unable to compete due to a
nagging knee injury.
Women’s cross-country
Coach Marilyn Wynia is
predicting that Siler will finish
in the top five at the meet.
Coach Wynia also feels Siler
has the ability to win the race
if all goes well. Wynia pointed
out the cold weather will great­
ly affect the outcome of the
race. The women’s race will
take place on a 5,000 meter
course.
ROB DURKEE SETS the pace for the Cougars while Mark
Allen follows close behind in a meet earlier in the season.
