Women hoopsters prepare

The women’s basketball
team, last years League
Champs, will face their first
opponent Friday, Nov. 22 in a
non-league game against
North Idaho. They will also
face Southern Alberta on Nov.
23 and 24 in Canada.
“We’re starting out with
three tough games,” said sixth
year Head Coach Phil Garver.
Clackamas beat Southern
Alberta twice last year, but
Garver noted both teams as
being tough.
“We have a lot of talent and
depth on this team,” Garver
said. “We’re really balanced
out in every position.”
Co-Captains Liz Troiano
and Patty Mattis are expected
to get a lot of playing time this
season. Garver said the two
sophomores
show good
leadership and dependability.
Also returning are Laura
Keshpaugh and members
Puanani Lackland and Lisa
Rezentes, who both transfer
red from Hawaii last Spring
term. Walk-on Angie Stein
was also noted as being ä good
asset to the team.

“The ability the girls show
now could take them far. We
should go a long way,” said
Assistant Coach Jim Hill. Hill
was ‘most valuable player’ for
two years at the College and
an “outstanding”player at
Warner Pacific. Garver said,
“He’s an outstanding con
tribution to our team this
year.”
In preparation for this
season, the team has had hard,
fast practices. The practices
usually last an hour and a half,
the same length as a game.
Garver said he doesn’t prepare
his team against individual
teams.
“I make the girls practice
our stuff. We play our game
and the other teams play to
us,” he said. He also stated
that Mt. Hood and Chemeketa
will be the comptetition this
year.
This year’s team goal is to at
least win the league cham
pionship and then to go on to
the playoffs in Central
Washington. Garver feels that
if the team plays up to their
potential and keeps a
“positive mental attitude,”
they should have no problem
reaching it.
“A positive mental attitude
is something that I’ve learned
is important in the past, and I
hope to pass it on to others,”
said Garver. “The girls that
have played for me in the past
realize the emphasis I put on
(such an attitude).”
Team Captain Troiano said
Garver has influenced her and
other players to realize that a
positive attitude can really
make a difference. Troiano
also feels that team unity and
student body support can con
tribute a lot to the team. “We
need support and enthusiasm
from the crowd. It really
makes you feel like a team and
it can get you pumped,” she
said.
Both coaches feel that this
year’s team should win the
league championships and go
on from there. Hill concluded
by saying, “The girls are look
ing strong, working hard and
things re coming together.
This should be a good
season.”
