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.

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.
