Sports Wednesday, November 10,1993 The Clackamas Print Pg. 7 Volleyball team successful at tournament over weekend by Kate Gibbons Staff Writer The Cougars’ volleyball team had a busy week in their competition schedule. Clackamas traveled to Salem to take on a tough Chemeketa Community Col lege team, Nov. 3. Despite strong serving from Ali Rumrey and solid defen sive play from Nicole LaMarche, the Cougars fell to Chemeketa in four sets, losing the first two 8-15 and 7-15. The team turned around to win the third 15-6, but took a beating in the fourth, losing 0-15. “In the fourth game, we were just too happy with the third game, and just kind of let up,” said Head Coach Kathy Woods. Team spirits were not dampered, however, as the Cou gars traveled to Seattle on Friday to compete in the Shoreline Com munity College Crossover Tourna ment. The group banned together to bump, set, and spike their way to first place in their pool, defeating Lady Cougar Alicia Rumrey sets the ball for teammates to make a kill. three strong teams in the process. Bellevue Community College was the first to fall to Clackamas with a score of 15-5 and 15-12. Olympic Community College was next to taste the wrath of the Cougars, losing 15-3,15-8. Clackamas slid by Centralia 15-4 and 15-9, but lost a heartbreaker to Shoreline in three games. TheCougarteamfell9-15, 15-9 and 16-18.

The Cougars started the game strong winning the first set 15-4, but fell in the second and third sets 13-15,9-15. TheClackamas team was now in a race for third place. The game placed them on the court with Centralia Community Col lege. The Cougars fell in the first set 14-16, but fought back to take the second set 17-15. A fiery team controlled the net in the third set, and Centralia fell, 15-6, giving Clackamas the third-place title. “We had set our goals to play in the championship game,” Wood said. “The only thing that held us back was the loss to Big Bend, but I am happy with the way we fought back for that third place. To come back and win that game proved the character this team had. Overall, I was pleased with the weekend.” Tournament all-star Jen nifer Potter “played consistent ball” Woods said, and was backed by “steady play from Becky Bergerson.” Potter was also named Clackamas player of the week. “Karrisa Skarberg shows continuous improvement,” Woods said. Skarberg was named NW A ACC Defensive Player of the Week in the Southern Region for the week of November 1.

Hie team's awards banquet will be held Nov. 18 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Gregory Forum. photo by Gaty Egan ___________________________________ Blazers bound to lose by Jeff Kemp Co-Editor-in-Chief The cards have been shuffled and dealt, and the Port land Trail Blazers obviously feel they ’re holding a good hand going into the 1993-94 basketball sea son. They’re armed with one of the lowest point-scoring starting lineups in the NBA. Let’s face reality Port land. The Blazers are going to lose. Theiroffenseisonthebench. Harvey Grant, Clifford Robinson, Rod Strickland, James “Holly wood” Robinson and Tracy Murray are all watching the start ing five play hard defense yet have failed to do anything on the other side of the equator. Attimes you can see the pain in the faces of the bench players, who know in their hearts they can play better than the team they beat up on regularly in practice.1 They are also blessed with a 6’11” free agent with ca reeraverages of4.7points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Paul Alien’s prodigy, Chris Dudley, now in his seventh pro season, will make an outrageous$l 1 million over seven years with our mighty Blazers. In fact, the only good thing the Blazers did right when they signed “Dud”, aplayer who’d do more damage with an M.B.A. from Yale than he ever will in the NBA, is including a clause in the contract that could make him a free agent by season’s end. Let’s all kneel and pray that some other team will play Santa Claus next summer and give Mr. Dudley the gift of his life. Alongside Dudley lies the aging veteran of 13 seasons, Buck Williams. A warrior in his prime, Williams has overstayed his welcome as a starter. His re bounding, defense and leadership can best help the Blazers from the bench. •» .. Let's face reality Portland. The Blazers are going to lose ... The Blazers also need mercy, from Jerome Kersejfs hor rendous shooting from the held. “Mr. Hustle” should be inserted into the line up as a spark plug rather than starting him because they feel like it’s the “right thing to do.” Clyde Drexler is coming off one of tlie worst seasons of his pro career. Now that he is healthy, the Blazers should think about trad ing him. Drexler’s market value is still pretty high, and his name could turn the heads of a lot of younger teams looking for leadership (Or lando? Anfemee Hardaway?). The only constant in the starting five is Terry Porter. While at times inconsistent, Por ter is a solid player who can adequately fill the shoes that Drexler should be forced to leave behind. Clifford Robinson, Grant and Strickland should be in the starting line up. Drexler can easily play the small forward position while Grant and Robinson would be small but quicker at the power forward and center positions. Porter would benefit from the guard switch, which would allow him to worry more about scoring than distrib uting the ball. I apologize for sound ing like the “trade ‘em all and start over, spoiled little Blazer fan”, but please. Paul Allen and Rick Adelman mustnot be watch ing the same games the rest of us are. Everyone knows there are changes that need to be made. This proposal is the best for what we have to work with. Seattle and Phoenix will both be ahead of us racing for the Western Con ference championship banner. I just hope they don’t get far enough ahead that, I’ll have to take a razor blade to the Blazer bumper sticker on my car. CLASSIFIEDS Gifted Psychic« want to help you!
