Women enter tournament as number one seed
by Christopher Cunan
Design/Sports Editor
Plainly speaking, the
Clackamas women’s basketball
team will be the number one
seeded team from the Southern
Division in the NWAACC Tour
nament March 3-5 at Clark Col
lege in Vancouver,
Other than that, there is
nothing plain about this year’s
team.
Saturday it was center Mitzi
Finn and guard Angela Hewlett
combining for 44 points as the
Cougars halted Umpqua 86-73.
Finn’s 23 points and 11 rebounds
were both game highs.
This
victory
enabled
Clackamas to move straight
through the Southern Division’s
mini tournament and on to the
NWAACC Tournament, where
hey will match up against Skagit
Valley, who is entering the tour
nament as the number two seed
from the Northern Division.
Clackamas jumped out to a
52-34 halftime lead and never
looked back, as they got the bet
ter of the Timberwomen for the
third time this season.
“We kept a 20 point lead
through pretty much the whole
game,’’ stated Clackamas Coach
Phil Garver. “We really took it to
Umpqua Saturday night.”
Hewlett had a generous 10
assists (a game high) to go with
her 21 points. Sophomore Anna
Schlegelmilch delivered 12 points
and Freshman Gina Passadore
added nine for Clackamas.

FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
Freshmen Lisa Cinfio and
Kristy Frady were the sources of
the Umpqua attack, scoring 18
and 12 points respectively. Both
netted 11 points along with Jen
nifer Mannix to lead Umpqua in
their 66-51 Feb. 5 loss to the
Cougars.
In the first round of the mini
tournament Hewlett carried
Clackamas to a 74-61 triumph
over Linn-Benton, which propell
ed them to the second round con
test against Umpqua.
Hewlett’s 34 points were a
season high and her 13 assists
were a game high as she left Linn-
Benton in the dust.
At halftime the Cougars own
ed a slim 33-30 lead and it looked
as though Linn-Benton, who
finished fourth in the Southern
Division, might make it a contest.
The Cougars put that dismal
hope to rest in the second half,
outscoring the Roadrunners
41-31 in the second half to secure
the victory.
Schlegelmilch placed herself se
cond on the scoring list for the
Cougars by netting nine points,
and Leslie Hughes and Cami
White each added eight points to
the Cougar cause. White grabbed
a team high 10 rebounds.
Tracy Turner propelled Linn-
Benton with 15 points, Kris
Keister 13, and Andrea Powell
managed 12 in the Roadrunner’s
season finale.
Going into the NWAACC
Tournament, Clackamas has
won 21 consecutive games and
has compiled a 23-4 record.
The Clackamas-Skagit Valley
matchup is the first game of the
day Thursday. At 4p.m. Wenat
chee Valley plays Green River, at
7 p.m. Clark and Spokane face
off, and at 9 p.m. Highline and
Umpqua battle.
If the Cougars beat Skagit
Valley, they will face the winner
of the Wenatchee Valley-Green
River contest, if they lose, they
will face the loser of that game in
the consolation round.
Garver feels that Skagit Valley
is “...a pretty tall team who plays
an inside type of game.”
“We’re looking real strong go
ing into the tournament,” stated
The rapid expansion of our fleet - already one of the largest in the skies - has

compete at
Nationals
by Mark Borrelli
Staff Writer
Freshman Bryan Schiller
demonstrated that he is a force to
be reckoned with next year, with
a strong showing in the National
Junior College Wrestling tourna
ment in Chicago.
Schiller (who is from
Milwaukie High School) won twoi
matches in the tournament.
Schiller appeared to be on his
way to another win, leading An
thony Adamo 8-7 with 13
seconds left in the match, but
Adamo pinned Schiller to ad
vance, and put Schiller into the
loser’s bracket. Schiller respond
ed with pinning Jeff Flynn for?
a seventh place finish in the 142
pound weight class, and for his
efforts Schiller earned all-
American honors.
Sophomore Tim Jordan also
made the trip, but did not fare so
well. Jordan, who perhaps
wrestled the worst in his career,
dropped both of his matches 9-7
to Jeff Thompson and 15-4 to
Bruce Egbert.
Schiller will return to
Clackamas next year to try and
better his 7th place finish, while
Tim Jordan win end his very suc
cessful career at Clackamas.
