SPORTS THE CLACKAMAS PRINT Page 4 November 28,19 Cougar women start basketball pre-season with tosse; by Brenda Hodgen Sports Writer The Women’s Basketball team kicked off their pre-season play last weekend suffering defeats against Grays Harbor Community College, 81*71, Friday and Walla Walla Community College, 82-76, Saturday. Coach Phil Garver stressed some concern over how the ladies were handling the ball. > “In both of those games we really needed to work on just tak ing care of the ball,” he explained. “We had a lot of turnovers. I think there were thirty against Grays Harbor alone. We can’t have that many turnovers and be success ful” we would turn it right back over, so we just need to work on hold ing onto the ball once we get it” Some of the top players against Grays Harbor were Freshmen Launa Meek with 19 points and 6 rebounds, Jenny Spilseth follow ing close behind with 15 points and 5 rebounds, and Kathryn Muck with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and hitting 4 out of her 5 freethrow attempts. Against Walla Walla Meek and Spilseth consistently lead the team once again. Meek came out Garver sees a real issue with team leadership and he is confi dent the team will improve in time. “We are a very young team and I think that we can expect these types of mistakes from the young players. But, my sophomores have to come through better for me,” he stressed. “We need to work on better leadership roles on court.” The team’s efforts were not all unsuccessful, though. “We rebounded well for being as short as we are,” Garver con tinued. “We out rebounded Grays Harbor which is good because they’re a fairly tall team. We also had some good defensive action, but every time we’d steal the ball "We can't have that many turnovers and be successful."
