Sports Lady Cagers struggle at championship games By Rodney Fobert Of The Print The Clackamas Community College women’s basketball team lost two close games against Skagit Valley 78-74 and Wenatchee Valley 54-53 at the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) cham­ pionship tournament. The Cougars, champions of the Oregon league, went into the tournament with a 24-2 season record. The Cougar’s first game of the tournament was against Skagit Valley. The height of the Skagit Valley team proved to be .a dominating factor of the,.game, as Clackamas found themselves getting out­ rebounded by them. The Cougars also suffered a below normal shooting average of 39 percent in their opening game of the tourna­ ment. Head Coach Phil Garver said the three week break between the end of the season and the championships was detrimental to the team. “We’re used to playing three games a week,” Garver said adding, “That three week break just killed us.” He described the Cougar’s perfor­ mance in the first game as, “lacking that game intensity.” Joanne Ineman led the team in scoring with 39 points but the Cougars lacked the heighth needed to stop the Skagit Valley team from' dominating the boards. The Cougars played Wenat­ chee Valley for their second game of the Championship tournament. The Cougars led by as much as 6 points throughout the game but then failed to sink some much need­ ed baskets towards the end.

The Cougars did not go un­ noticed in the Championships, however, as Joanne Ineman and Sue Canoy were voted to first team all region positions. The Championship was won by Green River Community College who beat Spokane in the final game for the top spot. Despite a bit of bad luck at the NWAACC tournament, Coach Garver was especially pleased with this years team. “The girls worked well together,” Garver said of the team, adding, “It’s been a great year.” Grapplers compete at national tourney By Rodney Fobert Of The Print TAKING CONTROL—Cougar wrestler Chuck Calhoun (bot­ tom) gets a tight hold on his opponent.

Mannen placed seventh in the 134-pound weight class of the tournament after being pinned by Jeff Semrad of North Idaho College. Mannen was ahead late into the match, but then got caught offguard by his opponent and he was pinned. At heavyweight, Young was narrowly beaten by Mike Thomas of Arizona Western College for a chance at the seventh place finish. Wachsmuth won his first match of the tournament against Mark Neu of Willmar College by a score of 9-1. He then, however, lost his next two matches and was eliminated from competition. Killian and McKinnis were both eliminated from competi­ tion early in the tournament. Coach Berney said that this has been a positive season for the Cougar wrestlers. He is looking forward to having a successful season once again next year with 12 returning wrestlers.
