THE CLACKAMAS PRINT
A
What's up
with Michael
Jordan and
Jerry Glanville
anyway?
Okay, Magic was great in
the All-Star game, but I’m still
thinking about this Michael Jor­
dan-ejection thing a couple of
weeks ago. What were these refs
thinking? Don’t they know bet­
ter than to call a foul on HIM?
Jordan has apparently got­
ten so used to tackling people
and not having a foul called, or
getting one called on the other
team anytime HE misses, that he
now thinks he can get away with
anything.
Besides, in their primes,
Magic and Bird were better than
Jordan ever will be.
While on the subject of bas­
ketball, I’m not a Blazers fan, but
I thought Drexler should already
be on the Olympic Team, instead
of Scottie Pippen. Then, Dennis
Rodman should be the last NBA
entry.
Here are my picks for the
NCAA Final Four: Duke, UCLA,
Indiana and Arkansas. I made
those before the season and I’ll
stick by them. I think St. John’s
and Ohio State have a shot at
cracking that group, and this year’s
incredibly long shot has to be
Villanova.
While I’m at it, here are my
picks for the NCAA champs in
93,94, and 95: Michigan, Michi­
gan and Michigan.
Has anyone else noticed that
Jerry Glanville doesn’t know
anything about football?
For all of you impressed with
my Redskins this year, think about
this: They’ll be better next year.
Consider this: they’ve only had 3
first-round draft picks in 22 years.
They were pretty good. Mark May,
an original Hog and two-time
Pro Bowl lineman. Darrell Green,
the NFL’s fastest man and the
best cover cornerback of this
generation. And Art Monk, who
will become the league’s all-time
leading receiver next year.
Well, now they’ve got last
year’s No. 1, Bobby Wilson, ready
to take a starting defensive line
spot, and two more No. Is this
year, including the sixth overall.
If they do half as well with those
three as they did with the last
three, they’ll be kicking butt for
years to come.
Not to mention the ‘Skins
will have another year to beef up
through Plan B free-agency, and
they have two marketable play­
ers (young QB Stan Humphries
and veteran DB Alvin Walton)
whom they plan to trade for more
draft choices.
Lady Cougars work hard Wrestlers head to regionals
as season continues

With half of the season over
and a 4-6 league record, the
women’s basketball team is striv­
ing for a strong finish. -
Last Saturday, the Lady Cou­
gars faced Lane CC in Eugene.
Kathy Muck, the Cougars’ start­
ing center, was not able to play
due to a recent injury. In place of
Muck was Freshman Jill War­
rington.
’During the first half, the Cou­
gars started strong and led the
game 43-36. However, in the last
minute before the end of the first
half, starting point guard Kristin
Lyons went down with a knee
injury and will not be able to play
for the rest of the season.
Warrington, Wendy Neilsen,
Kayla Sjogren, Cheryl Galloway,
Brandy Torrenen, Jenny Topham,
and Launa Meek fought to keep
the lead. Then in the last eight
minutes of the game, Meek and
Topham both fouled out.
Coach Kim Spaulding com­
ments, “It was really tough play­
ing the last eight minutes of the
game with only one starter, but
the second team came together
and got the job done.”
The game ended with a close
score of 80-75. This loss by Clacka­
mas enabled Lane to tie for first
place with UmpquaCC. Lane now
has a league record of 9-1.
In the game against Lane,
Meek led the team in scoring with
17 points. Topham and Warring­
ton came away with 14 points and
Galloway finished with 10.
Torrenen came away with 10
rebounds while Warrington earned
9.
The Lady Cougars have four
games left in the season. Tonight,
they will face the Mt. Hood C.C.
Saints, who defeated them in their
last meeting by one point in over­
time. The game will be held in the
Randall Gym at 6 p.m.
“We really want to beat Mt.
Hood because they are going to
the playoffs. All of our games
have been so close. It is disap­
pointing because things didn’t go
our way,” commented Topham.

Last weekend, the Clackamas
wrestling team was going to com­
pete in its last two dual matches of
the season. Highline, because of
eligibility, was unable to wrestle
against Clackamas last Saturday.
Clackamas, however, was able
to wrestle against Lower Columbia
last Friday. Eligibility of wrestlers
again played a large part in this
dual meet.
“Due to the lack of eligibility
of Lower Columbia wrestlers in a
number of weight classes, the meet
had to be forfeited and it became a
exhibition dual,” explained Coach
Jim Jackson.
Maurice Glenn wrestled his last
match as a Cougar wrestler in the
dual against Lower Columbia and
finished his season with a 8-4 deci­
sion.
“Maurice did a great job for us
this year and we were pleased he
was a part of our team,” said Jackson.
Blake Tompkins won his match
in the dual meet by the score of 12-
2 and was able to avenge an earlier
loss this season to the same oppo­
nent.
Damin Schultz had to default
from his match because of an in­
jury. Schultz suffered from a recur­
rence of an earlier shoulder separa­
tion.
Greg Benner won his match 9-
4 over an opponent that gave a
stronger showing earlier this year.
In the heavyweight class Jason
Ingram wrestled a close match, but
lost 7-6.
The wrestlers have been se­
lected that will be participating in
the Regional Tournament. They are:
Darren Maisenbach at 118, James
Love at 126, Blake Tompkins at
134, David Evans at 142, Greg
Benner at 150, Travis Bonneau at
158, David Grieve at 167, Kelly
Reichner at 177, and Brian Kiley at
190.

CCC men's basketball wins two games to avenge losses
By Greg Tully
Staff Writer
The men’s basketball team
avenged two of its worst losses of
the season last week with impres­
sive victories which moved them
within a game of first place in the
conference.
Clackamas now stands alone
in third place, with an 18-6 record,
7-3 in the conference. Chemeketa
and Lane are both 8-2 in the confer­
ence.
On Wednesday night, the CCC
team took on first place Lane, a
veteran team that was 21-3,8-1 in
the conference. Lane had beaten
Clackamas 94-72 earlier in the year,
and were ranked No. 1 in the North­
west Coaches Poll.
Clackamas came out with an
82-78 victory behind Brian Peter-
son’s 26 points and 12 rebounds.
Dan Conover had 20 points and six
assists, while Glen Kiser contrib­
uted 16 points and seven rebounds.
“I’m really impressed with the
job we did,” Coach Royce Kiser
said. “We didn’t get out-rebounded,
like we did last time, we played
real good defense, and our kids
showed a lot of courage.”
The CCC team was then faced
with the challenge of taking on
Portland CC, who had humiliated
Clackamas 124-82 earlier in the
year.
“That game (against Portland)
was, by far, our worst game of the
year,” Kiser said. “We felt we were
a lot better than that game showed.”
The CCC team rebounded from
that embarassment with a 107-74
victory on Saturday. They were led
by Glen Kiser, with 22 points and
10 rebounds, and Brian Peterson,
also with 22 points. Brent Goodman
and Dan Conover each had 17 points
and 4 steals.
“We’re really playing well,”
Kiser said. “We outrebounded them,
and our defense was a whole lot
better than last time.”
“We’re getting production out
of all 10 of our players, and we’re
more consistent, especially our
defense, rebounding and shot se­
lection. We really had to win these
games after what happened to us
last time we played them (Portland
and Lane),”
“Our kids are looking to win
now, instead of just looking to play,”
Kiser added. “Our most improved
player is Brian Peterson, probably
just because he’s getting more
minutes. But they’re all great kids,
on and off the court. We gotta have
them back next year.”
Wednesday, CCC takes on Mt.
Hood, whom they beat on a last-
second shot earlier this year. On
Saturday, they play Umpqua, who
is one game behind Clackamas.
“We really look for a struggle
in both games,” Kiser said. “They
should both be good games.”
