Linn-Benton here tonight
V-ball team struggling

The Clackamas Lady Cougars
face an uphill climb in the second
half of league play, after, posting
a 1-5 league mark in the first half,
Clackamas must turn their season
around in a hurry if they are to
have any hopes of post-season
play.
The Cougars are currently
knotted in a deadlock for last
place, a place where Coach
Kathie Woods doesn’t feel
Clackamas should be. “We are
physically capable to play with
any of the teams we have lost
to.” Woods feels the lack of in
tensity has cost her team some
games they should have been able
to win. “We have to maintain
our intensity better in the second
half, and beat teams we are
capable of beating.”
Clackamas didn’t have much
success on the road this past
weekend when they played two
tough league foes. The first stop
for the Cougars came in Umpqua
where they lost in four sets:
12-15, 15-11, 13-15, 8-15. In the
match, one Cougar that stood
out was freshmen Cheryl Mar-
thaller. “Cheryl had her best
game of the season, she was con
sistently there on offense, she had
12 kills.” Teammate Niki Beiser
chipped in 5 kills in the match.
Woods was pleased with her
team’s effort, but once again the
lack of intensity proved to be a
factor. “It was a close match,
and we played not to lose, instead
of playing to win.” Clackamas’
next stop was at Southwestern
Oregon, where they got pounded
in straight sets: 1-15, 1-15, 12-15.
“We played poorly. We couldn’t
put anything together in the first
two sets. We did play better in the
third set, but it was too late.”
Woods was disappointed with her
team^s
play
against
Southwestern, but had reason to
smile about the performance of
one of her players, “Yvonne
Johnson really came in off the
bench and sparked us this
weekend. I was really pleased
with her.”
Clackamas will open up the se
cond half of league play tonight
when they travel to Gresham to
face league power, Mt. Hood.
Woods thinks it’s going to take
an upset of Mt. Hood or,
SWOCC for the Cougars to
