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

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.
Despite the loss,

championship game. 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.
The Cougars play their
last game today against Portland
Community College at the Rock
Creek Campus. The game will
start at 7 pm. Hie team's awards
banquet will be held Nov. 18 from
7 to 9 p.m. in the Gregory Forum.

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.
