Cougars won the match 3*0. Cougars to face Mt. Hood By Brenda Hodgen Sports Writer The Cougar Volleyball Team is looking forward to to night’s match-up against highly ranked Mt. Hood Community College according to Coach Kathie Woods. “Mt. Hood is the league fa vorite so it is a very important game for us. We do have a chance to win, but it won’t be easy,” she said. “Since it’s a home game we hope to see a very largecrowd, we definitely need all the support we can get” Last weekend proved to be a heartbreaker for the Cougars as they suffered two losses on the road against Southwestern Com- munity College Friday, and Umpqua Community College Saturday. SWOCC showed strength over Clackamas in solo blocks, and came through with fewer errors, which gave them theirwin of 3-1. “SWOCC is a difficult team to play on the road,” stressed Woods. “The entire city of Coos Bay gets into the sporting events, and with their small gym the bleachers are right on the court, so the noise is intensified which makes it very hard to block out” The Cougar ladies played well though, according to Woods. Sophomore Tara White was an asset with 14 kills and 8 blocks, Freshman Julie Braman backed White with 9 kills Sophomore Tisha Chevron was another key player. “The scores really don’t re flect how well we played,” said Woods,“they were definitely play ing better last weekend.” With a league record of 2-3 and 8-4 over all, the team is off to an outstanding start. “Last year is kind of something I’d like to forget,” said Woods. “I still, to this day, do not know why we couldn’t win. We were over flowing with talent” So far this season the Cougars have pulled off some worthwhile accomplishments. The ladies took 1st place in their Lower Columbia Tourney Sept.8, and their only returning starter, Tara White, was named the league’s “Player of the Week” for the first week of the season. Woods does show some con cern for the team’s performance this year. “I’m concerned that we’re not where we need to be as a team, although I do know they’re work ing hard,” she explained. "We just need to get down to business.” by Frank Jordan StaffWriter A new jogging trail is taking shape at the college, however, it is still in the formation process, ac cordingto Dale McGriff, physical education instructor at Clacka mas. 'The rise in gas prices and the construction boom in this area has put a real damper on our ef forts,” commented McGriff. McGriff has been voluntarily working on this project since the spring of 1989, and has also had help from various members of the administration, faculty, and staff of the college. The original idea for the jog ging trail cam? about in the late 1970s, by Debbie Baker, director of student activities and commu nity services, and Les Tempkin, who saw the need for some sort of place where people could walk, jog, or run. The idea was pro posed to the college, but the sup port was not there at the time. The project was put on hold, until last year, when McGriff, as part of the college’s new wellness team, was put on the committee to look into reviving the jogging trail project. The college offered $3,000 to help the project, and Photo by R. Darby Pereira The trail's unfinished appearance has not deterred students from Jogging. McGriff went looking for dona- tions from lumber and construc tion companies in this area. "All have helped, and they deserve as much of the credit A Reynolds Construction donated the equipment, and Arvidsen Lumber donated 2000 cubic yards of bark mulch to line the surface of the trail. But with higher gas prices and the con struction boom, equipment, fuel, Cross country team on route to title By Aaron T.

The women’s team, led by a strong performance from freshman Roni Del Sol, had first place wrenched from their grasp by Bellevue Community Col lege, who won the meet by one point Del Sol placed second in the five kilometre race and clocked in at 19:41. “I was suprised at my time...it was the first time I finished under 20 minutes,” related Del Sol.

All six runners who partici pated finished in the top twenty, Kristy Morgan came in 5th, Stephanie Rosen finished 7th, Wendi Smith was 11th, Sonia Schmuland ended at 13th, and Dianna Polack rounded out the team at 16th.

Billy Borkus clocked in 11th, Mike Polson concluded the race at 13th, Nathan Matlock was 27th, and Tim Marshall finished up at 36th. Coach Hodges believes that repeating last year’s perform ance may be difficult to do, since three sophomores did not return, but that still has not dampened his attitude. “They [the team] have worked very hard this year, and I am very pleased with their attitude,” commented Hodges. Coach Hodges believes that this team is capable of success fully defending their State title,taking one of the top three spots in the Northwest, and winning the Coed Title for the second year in a row. The defending state cham pion women’s team also hopes to defend its title, despite the fact that no runners from last year’s squad are returning. Hodges has tremendous confi dence in the team’s ability. “Honestly, I think this team is better than last year team; they’re together as a team.” Both teams will be compet ing this Saturday in the Wil- liamette University Invitational in Salem, and Hodges believes the team will also finish well there.
