Kiser refused to point at one
player as a key to his team’s suc

Besides Clackamas, Kiser ex
pects that Umpqua and
Chemketa are the teams that will
be the toughest, but feels that all
the teams in the league will be
closely battling for a playoff
spot. “The rest of the teams are
so close that if you have a bad
night you could get beat by any
team.”
After winning the Northwest
Championship last year, it looks
as if Kiser has got his team once
again playing championship ball.
“The reason we win, is not one
player. We’re not big, (but) we’re
fairly quick.” Execution and
defense is the secret for success
for Kiser. “We play good defense

The Clackamas Cougar
wrestling team, coming off a
2nd place finish in the Nationals
last year, is preparing for what,
Coach Norm Berney, hopes will
be another banner season.
The Cougar grapplers are off
to a slow start. In their only
home match, a contest with
Pacific Lutheran University of
Tacoma, CCC lost 19-16. Win
ners in the match for Clackamas
were Tom Malone at 142, Bryan
Schiller at 150, Shawn Brunson
at 198, and Steve Cox won the
heavy weight battle. In the
match, nine wrestlers for
Clackamas were freshman, five
regular starters were unable to
participate.
Lack of experience, and con
ditioning proved to be the
Cougars downfall according to
Coach Berney. “We had a three
week Christmas break, and the
kids didn’t keep themselves in
as good as shape as we would
have liked.” Berney, however,
remains optimistic about his
young team. “Once we get into
condition and gain some ex
perience we will wrestle better.”
Some top freshman wrestlers
for Clackamas who are impress
ing Berney are Schiller, Malone,
Brunson, and heavy weight
Cox. “Brunson wrestled a good
match and pinned a good kid.
Schiller and Malone both did a
good job and Steve Cox pinned
a senior.”

Clackamas’ returning wrestlers

2nd in Nationals last year) and

again this year. Coach Berney is
optimistic about his team retur
