All in all, men’s basketball
coach Royce Kiser thinks his
team has had a successful
season. The eagers finished up
with a 19-7 record, Kiser has
been chosen Coach of the Year
for the region and player Terry
Frison for First Team All­
League Player.
At a special basketball
awards banquet held March 6,
Kiser said, “A lot of people
went to the games this year. I
think they showed up because
of all the coverage we got and
I think basically because we
are a fun team to watch. We
surprised a lot of people (by)
winning games we were not ex-
pected to win,” he added.
Of the awards given out,
player Tom Bolt received one
for outstanding defense, Doug
Coffman for most inspira­
tional, Roger Thompson for
most improved and Frison for
most valuable. The players
voted for who would receive
the awards, which were hand­
ed out by assistant coach Paul
Fiskum.
In summing up his players,
Kiser said a few words about.
them at the banquet. He
described sophomore Frank
Nesbitt as “one of the most in­
telligent basketball players we
have on the team.
“Another is Tom Bolt. Tom
plays excellent defense and
was a smart player. Jerry
Olsen got injured at the first of
the season and then was sick,
but he kept up his intensities.
Doug Coffman is one of those
players who hates to lose. He
has to be one of the most im­
proved players on the team.
He is a great ball handler and
he has the best competitive
.spirit,” Kiser said.
Tim (Sprague) has a good
attitude. At the first of the
season he got cut, but he of­
fered to help out and be
manager. But when we needed
extra players he was there and
he worked hard.

most talented one-on-one
players I’ve seen. We put him

Just as all good things must
come to an end, so draws to a
close the phenomenal season
of the Clackamas Community
College women’s basketball
team. At the same time, the
Clackamas team loses their
top scorer, sophomore Joanne
Ineman, who led the team to
so many victories during her
one-year career at the College.
Not only did Ineman lead
the Cougar team in scoring,
she shattered the College’s
previous scoring record. Early
in the season, Ineman scored
57 points in a game against
Lower Columbia Community
College.
' .
Ineman is originally from
Olmstead Falls, Ohio, where
she played basketball at an
AA-rated high school. Her
talent for the game was
recognized early, as Ineman
was named Ohio State High
School Player of the Year
three out of her four years on
the high school varsity team.
Joanne racked up nearly 3,000
total points during her high
school basketball career.
After high school, Ineman
attended college for a year at
the University of Arizona. At
Arizona, -she became the col­
lege’s leading scorer as a
freshman. Ineman, however,
found that she was unhappy at
U of A, and did not attend the
college the following year. “I
decided to take my time and
make the right decision,” In­
eman said of her decision to
leave U of A. “I wrote to some

She said, however, that she
has not always focused on
basketball only. “I grew up
playing all types of sports,”
Ineman said, explaining that
she began concentrating most­
ly on basketball in high
school. “I’ve been shooting
on a guy who averaged 20
points a game and Terry held
him to two.
Terry Frison has improved
greatly. He has tremendous
talent, he can run, jump high
and is a very strong player,”
Kiser said.
He concluded by saying,
“Roger Thompson is another
player who has improved
tremendously. He averaged up
to 12 and 13 rebounds a game.
Steve Hansen has to be the
hardest working man on the
team. He plays very strong
defense. Jeff Richards played
good all year long. He was
picked for Second Team All
Conference. He has excellent
shooting ability and he plays
good defense.”
Phil Garver, head coach of
the womens basketball team,
along with assistant coach Dan
Slick handed out awards and
hugs for the lady roundbailers.
The Cougars finished the
regular season with a record of
24 wins and 2 losses to take the
league champioship. By winn­

however, the Cougars fell to
misfortune in their first two
games. Never-the-less, that is
sill the time Cougar guard
Joanne Ineman needed to
break the tournaments single­

ing up 38,points against Skagit
Valley in the first game of the
tourney. Both Joanne Ineman
and teammate Sue Canoy were
voted to first team all region
positions.
At the basketball athletic
banquet the team awards were
given out by the Garver and
Slick. Voted for best defense
was Liz Triano. Most Inspira­
tional went to Patti Mattis,
while Joanne Ineman recieved
the awards for best offense
and most valuable player. In
addition, Ineman was
presented with her bsketball
jersey as a memento of her
season at Clackamas.
