Cougars nip Lane 78-76 in OT
by Mark A. Bonelli
Sports Editor
The Clackamas men’s basket
ball team continues to be on a
roll. The Cougars improved their
league leading record to an untar
nished 4-0, and appear to be a
team of destiny.
It took a little bit of luck and
magic for Clackamas to pull off a
home win over Lane College on
Saturday. Lane held a narrow 28-
27 halftime lead, and appeared to
have wn the game, but they didn’t
count on the late game heroics of
Dan Bartel. His lone three-pointer
of the contest tied the game, and
sent Clackamas into an overtime
period with new life.
Lane took command in over
time early, and built a four point
lead with less than one minute to
go in OT. The lead seemed safe,
but once again, Clackamas’ “Car
diac Kids” responded to the chal
lenge. The Cougars turned up the
defensive intensity, forcing two
straight Lane turnovers. David
Daniels stripped two Lane play
ers, and Clackamas converted to
amazingly come back and post a
78-76 win in overtime.
“It really says a lot about a
team when they win the close
games,” said Point Guard Daniels.
“Our defense really turned it up.
We started using the press, and
once their starting guard fouled
out with a minute and a half left,
they couldn’t get the ball over mid
court,” said Daniels.
Clackam as Coach Royce Kiser
was happy to get the win, but feels
that his team must keep getting
better to keep winning. "We
squeaked out of here with a win,
but we got pounded on the boards.
We really need to be
aggressive,;we’re going to be out-
sized by a lot of teams, but we’ve
got to board better,” said Kiser.
The Cougars were out-rebounded
39-13.
Daniels was the leading scorer
for Clackamas as they knocked off
Mt Hood 72-69 Dec. 10 at ML
Hood. Daniels pumped in 28
points, connecting on 10 in 19
from the field, and 1 in 3 from the
three point range. He also dished
out eight assists. Tim Osborne
chipped in 15 points and seven
rebounds.
“I think that we’re a little bit
better than people thought we
would be. Some teams have more
talent than us, but we just play
better as a team. We have 4-5
people who could score every night
so people have a hard time just
guarding one guy,” said Daniels.
The Cougars, 4-0, currently
sit alone atop the league stand
ings, but have a very big game
tonight at home against Umpqua.
Umpqua was one of the presea
son favorites to win the division.
“Umpqua is tough. This is an
important game for us. We’d like
to beat them and S WOCC, and go
down to Chemeketa 6-0. That
would really put us in the driver’s
seat,” said Daniels.
One of the only few things
that have been missing at the
Cougar home games have been
fans. Although the turnout thus
far this season has improved over
last year, players would like to see
more enthusiasm.
“We’re playing really well,
some very exciting basketball We’d
love to see this place packed and
roaring. Anyone who comes to
the game tonight is guaranteed to
see an exciting game,” said team
player Troy Merrill. Tip off to
night is 8 p.m., shortly after the
girls’ game, which begins at 6 p.m.

Blowouts continue to be the
name of the game for the Clacka
mas women’s basketball team. The
Cougars are four games into their
league season, and are still un
tested, sporting a perfect 4-0 rec
ord, and in the process outscoring
their league opponents 364-244.
The latest victim to hit the
Clackamas buzz saw was the Lane
Titans. Lane was expected to be
in contention for the league cham
pionship, but they were not able
to give the Cougars a game. Clacka
mas got all over Lane right away,
sprinting to a commanding 51-23
halftime advantage. Lane never
recovered, and Clackamas rolled
to another blowout, 96-72. Angela
Hewlett poured in 31 points, and
Alicia Stephenson added 20 points,
and 13 rebounds.
It seemed things couldn’t get
much tougher for the Cougars as
they traveled to Gresham to face

Taking second at 150 was Matt
Lindland.
“Matt’s only loss of the day
was to a two-time defending NAIA
champion. But even to get into
the championship match he had
to beat a defending national cham
pion from Simon Fraser Univer
sity,” said Jackson.
Craig Morris was the other
high finisher taking fourth at 126.
Two others who came close
the placing were Teeney at 167
and Dave Moore at 158.
“Teeney wrestled four tough
matches, but didn’t place. We were
real pleased with his effort be
cause he wrestled tough all day.
Moore only wrestled in two
matches but had to go against a
good international style wrestler
from Canada,” stated Jackson.
Jackson felt the team had im
