’age 8 SPORTS THE CLACKAMAS PRINT Sports Column by Lane Scheideman ■ siasts!!! There is a brand new man taking over the sports de partment of The Clackamas Print He has always been into sports, not as an athlete, but as a spectator. Thank you, Thank you You can stop applauding now. My name is Lane Scheideman. Last year I was the photo editor of The Print and I have now gradu ated to the most important po sition on the paper, except for the advertising department. It, of course, funds my section. , A little about me (I’m not ' normally this egotistical but I : do enjoy it). I have only com- : peted in three sports in my life: soccer, basketball, and bowling. I wasn’t any good at any of them j so I put to practice an interest ing quote “those who can’t per form, teach” or in this case “write”. Hockey: Well the 75th sea son of the National Hockey League is under way. This year will prove to be an interesting one for the sport of hockey. The San Jose Sharks will be trying to keep their heads above water as the newest team in the league, while Quebec will attempt to put a season together with all of their amazing talent. The Que bec Nordiques don’t need Eric Lindros and shouldn’t worry too much if he won’t play for them. Then there are the Boston Bruins, the best team in the league, need I say more. We can’t forget about our hometown hockey team, the Portland Winter Hawks. After a dismal season last year this year is looking up. They actually have a defense this year. Baseball: The World Series will be Atlanta against Toronto and Toronto will win in six games (This is a strictly uneducated decision but it sounds good to me.) Personally I’m glad to see Atlanta make it to the playoffs because it brings new blood into the post season. Football: New Orleans and Washington undefeated, who would have thunk it. Buffalo 5- 1, makes sense. Dallas 4-2, It’s about time they got their act to gether. Miami 3-3, most disap pointing. Lacrosse: Doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Clackamas is starting off with a small team this year. Theyhave only ten players and out of that only Julie Braman and Jenny Gay aré returning. A knee injury forced Jenny Gay tosses the ball on her serve ,with Daphne Hartt in the foreground, against Umpqua CC September 28. photo by Dave Vankeuren Tired of Cheap Tacos? Lisa Roberts to red shirt this year and Lau ren DeBoard quit the team for personal reasons. The pressure of leadership is being placed onto the backs of the two returning players. “[Braman] is an all around think ing player. She has matured much from last year,” Coach Kathie Woods said. Inconsistency has plagued the Cougars in the early part of the season. Woods is looking for the team to finish in the top three or better in league. “We’re capable of beating any team if we begin playing more consistently,” she said. Last Saturday they traveled to Salem to compete in the Cheme- keta Tourney. This tournament was divided into two parts. In the pool play, Clackamas finished second out of four teams as they defeated Linn-Benton , lost to Lower Columbia , and split two sets against Green River. In the elimination section of the tournament, the Cougars fin ished 5th out of 12. In their first match, Clackamas defeated Olym pia big in the first set, but squeaked by them in a tough second set In the second match, Chemeketa scored big and handed the Cou gars elimination in straight sets. With a fifth place finish, Coach Woods felt good about improved intensity and aggressiveness. “The team took a couple of big steps forward. Julie Bremen, Jenny Gay, and Jennifer McKenzie all had a great tournament Clackamas traveled to ML Hood CC on Tuesday for a league game, but scores were unavailable at press time. They travel to Pendleton for a crossover tourney at Blue Mt CC this Friday and Saturday.
