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.”

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

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,

The Clackamas Cross Coun
try team enjoyed an excellent
meet Saturday at Maclver Park as
they continued gearing up for
their quest to repeat as State
Champions.
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.
Not only did Del Sol run
well, but the rest of the team did
also. 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.
On the men’s draw the
team finished fourth beheld a
strong Highland team, Linn-
Benton, and Spokane. Gene
Brandenhorst was the top
finisher on the team, coming in
fourth. Despite the fact that the

team has only five men running,
all five finished and placed high
in the meet. 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.
