The Cougar wrestling team ran
into some stiff competition over
the past few weeks.
The team had a 1-1 record in
dual meets and placed no higher
than fifth in the two tournaments
they competed in.
At the Oregon Classic, held
Dec. 28 in Corvallis, the Cougars
were matched against OSU, U of
O, and Stanford along with other
four-year schools and junior col
leges.
“The team wrestled well and
hard,” commented Coach Jim
Jackson, “We unfortunately drew
tough opponents in the early rounds.”
David Grieve finished fifth in
his weight class while Kelly Reich-
ner and Damin Schultz finished
sixth in their weight classes.
“Reichner wrestled exception
ally well and I was pleased with the
performance of all the wrestlers,”
said Jackson.
The Cougars next had a dual
meet in Longview, WA. against
Lower Columbia.
The Cougars took this meet,
36-21, against a team that was hurt
by ineligibilities.
Brian Kiley and Grieve won
their matches, while Greg Benner
was up against last year’s Junior
National Champion. Benner was
wrestling one class higher, but was
unable to pull out the decision.

is ranked eleventh in the nation
among junior colleges.
“Ricks put the hammer to us in
this competition.” said Jackson, “I
will be surprised if they aren’t in
the top three when the dust settles.”

Jackson.

The CCC men’s team is 12-4,
1-1 within their conference, with
an almost entirely freshman lineup.
The team, made up of nine
freshmen and only one sophomore,
has had an up-and-down start, but
Coach Royce Kiser is confident
that the team will get better with
experience.
“For the most part, we’ve played
pretty good ball, but on rare occa
sions, we play really bad,” Kiser
said. “But that’s going to happen
with a young team.
“Tie record is pretty good, but
what happens with a young team is
they’ll play really good and then let
up a little for two of three minutes
and let the other teams score a
flurry of points. In these sports,
you’ll see a lot of turnovers and
poor shot selection; we have to get
consistently tougher.”
The team displayed its up-and-
down nature with a loss by 18 to
Lower Columbia early in the year,
and then a victory by 14 over the
same team after the Christmas break.
The team followed up that win with
a 124-82 loss to Portland CC.
“I thought we’d really im
proved,’’Kiser said. “Butthat game
against PCC was one of the worst I
have ever had at Clackamas, it was
just horrendous.“
The team, however, rebounded
Saturday with a 96-77 win over
Linn-Benton. Sophomore Glen
Kiser, no relation to the coach, led
the team with 29 points and 11
rebounds.
“Glen Kiser just played an
outstanding game. Offense, defense,
rebounding, his whole game was
great,” said Coach Kiser.
Jeff Lauritzen contributed 18
points and 9 rebounds. Daniel
Conover had 17 points and 8 as
sists, and Jake Petersen had 13
rebounds. •
According to the coach, Glen
Kiser has been the best all-around
player, with Conover’s offense,
Brent Goodman’s defense and Lau-
ritzen’s rebounding and defense
being big factors as well. Coach
Kiser also credits Jon Dahlin for
his hard play and Jake Petersen and
Brian Peterson for their consistent
Play.
With the abundance of fresh
men, the team could be a power
house next year.
“We’re still looking to win the
conference this year; we always
contend,” Coach Kiser said. “Then,
we want to get all the freshmen
back. They’re a great group to
coach?’
The team will have to contend
with Chemeketa, winners of 49
straight, if they hope to win the
conference.
Clackamas will play at Mt.
Hood Wednesday and at Lane on
Saturday.
'Best 4-8 team ’ in Women's B-ball survived tough road test in preseason contests
by Scott Morris
Staff Writer
After a long, hard preseason
on the road the 4-8 Lady Cougars
feel they are ready to start the regu
lar season. “We are definitely the
best 4-8 team in basketball right
now,” said Coach Kim Spaulding.
One of the main reasons the
Lady Cougars have a 4-8 record is
because of the number of games
they have had to play cm the road.
As of Jan. 8, CCC’s women’s bas
ketball team has played 12 games
with only one, a tough72-67 loss to
Lower Columbia Community Col
lege, being a home game.
“I feel sorry for my girls be
cause they were on the road so
much in the preseason,” Spaulding
said. “We had to travel a lot be
cause it’s my first year as coach.
Next year those teams will come
and play us. Because it’s my first
year, I had to send those girls out on
the road.”
Even with a 4-8 record the
preseason has not been without its
bright spots, including a second
place finish in the She Devil Tour
nament in Longview, WA. Dec 28-
30.
The Lady Cougars got a 24-
point 13-rebound performance from
5'10" freshman Jenny Topham and
32 points from 5’6" sophomore
Launa Meek to beat Olympic CC
in the first game of the tournament.
The Lady Cougars received a
solid performance from both Kathie
Muck, a 5'11" sophomore, and To
pham in the second game of the

match up with die other team,” said
Spaulding. “And I think we have
the athletes to do it”
“I’m glad to have five strong
sophomores coming back The team
has a good core group of players,”
according to Spaulding.
Two of the core players Spauld
ing will rely on most will be 5*6"
sophomore point guard Kristin
Lyons who, according to Spauld
ing, “has shown excellent leader
ship and defense” and is averaging
3.5 assists a game. Also look for
big games out of Meek, who has
been averaging 18.3 points a game
in the preseason while shooting 43
percent from the field.
The Lady Cougars also have
an excellent freshman class who
should be able to come in and
contribute right away. Leading the
freshman class is Topham, who is
shooting 42 percent from the field
and averaging 13.8 points and 9.4
rebounds a game. Another fresh
man to keep your eye on is 5*5"
guard Cheryl Galloway, who is third
in the league in 3-point percentage
at 45 percent and is currently shoot
ing 88 percent from the free throw
line, making 22 of 25.
