Pg. 8 The Clackamas Print I....... ...... .... .... CkYt A Cl □puris Wednesday, March 3, 1993 Cougars open tournament Thursday by Jason Eck Staff Writer The Clackamas men’s bas ketball team will travel to Wash ington to compete in the North west Athletic Association of Community Colleges tournament this weekend as the secondseed in the Southern Division. The Cougars finished as the first-place team in the divi sion, but will go into the tourna ment as the second-seed team because of a home loss Thursday to Umpqua Community College, the fourth-place finisher in the division. The Cougars only league loss came to this team. Umpqua took an early 9- 8 lead before they exploded and went on an 11-2 run to take 10- pointlead. In the first half the Cougars fell behind by as many as 16 points behind strong shoot ing by Umpqua. They hit a hand ful of three-point baskets to in crease their early lead. The Cougars finally got offensive production and closed the first half on a 10-1 run to get within five points at 40-35. Clackamas took their first lead of the game in the sec ond half when Josh Rombach hit a three-pointer to put the Cou gars ahead at 44-43. The lead climbed to as many as four for the Cougars when they went on an 8-0 run to take a 58-54 advan tage. But Umpqua turned around and went on a run of their own to regain the lead at 64-59. Clacka mas tried to rally one last time, and did with nine consecutive points to take their final lead of the game 76-74. They were unable to keep the slim lead and ended up losing the game 88-83. “Our defense wasn’t real good in that game,” Head Coach Royce Kiser said. He pointed out that Umpqua shot as high a percentage from the floor as any opponent this year against Clackamas, 60 percent. He said that the high percentage was due in part to the sharp shooting by Umpqua, and by a lack of defensive execution by Clackamas. Now with the regional playoffs behind them, the Cou gars are headed to Skagit Valley College, in Mt. Vernon, Wash., to play in the NWAACC tourna ment to be held Thursday through Saturday. They will be one of eight teams competing for the NWAACC title. The men were given the weekend off from prac tice, and Kiser hopes that will give the team needed rest for the upcoming season finale. The Cougars open the tournament Thursday, at noon, against the first-seed from the Western Division, Lower Colum bia CC. They were the first- place finisher in the Western Division. “(Lower Columbia) is not new to the tournament, and they’re good,” Kiser said. They have captured second-and third- place finishes in the tournament ¿he last two years, finishing third last year. The Cougars may be short-handed in their first game of the tournament due to recent injuries suffered by two key members of the team. Brian Peterson injured his thumb in a recentpractice, and Dan Conover sprained his ankle against Umpqua Thursday. It will depend upon the. condition of the injuries if either player will play Thursday. The coaches are prepar ing the team for the three-day tournament and are hoping that Photo by Lynn Sickel A CCC men’s basketball player tips it in, while Brian Peterson and Tyrone Miles watch in admiration during a practice. the two-days' rest will be to the players’ benefit. “We’re trying to get them focused,” Assistant Coach Troy Merrill said of the preparations the team is making for the tournament. “We have to take each game as it comes ... our goal is to win the championship,” Kiser said. “That is our goal, and it starts by looking at Lower Columbia.” Come join the fun Friday night at the second all college and university ski ball!
