Wednesday, January 12,1994 Sports The Clackamas Print Pg. 4 The Pack is back, but watch out Christmas wrestling tourney for the boys in silver and black pins down successful season ending for CCC by Nate Clark StaffWriter The first round of the 1993 NFL playoffs was a week of defensive battles and offensive surges. The Kansas City Chiefs were visited by the Barry Foster- less Pittsburgh Steelers andplayed a great overtime game ending on a Nick Lowery field goal sending the Chiefs on the road to Houston next week. The big question: will Joe Montana be healthy and agile enough to take snaps under center and throw effectively against a defense who is fighting everyone lately, including its own offensive coordinator? The Vikings and Giants played a defensive battle wot by the legs of Rodney Hampton, who had the game of his life. Minnesota's offense was hurt by poor receiving and a strong pass rush by the Giants defensive line. Even with gutty play by Jim McMahon, they couldn’t over- comedropped passes andaswarm- ing giants “D.”; The Giants travel to San Francisco , next week to play the offensive-oriented 49’ers. The Pack is back. Green Bay defeated the Detroit Lions and the only question I have is, what is the league’s single season reception record holder doing so wide open at the closing minutes ofaplayoffgame? Sterling Sharpe proved, in my opinion, to be the most clutch receiver in the NFL, but for the Pack plan to keep play ing, the defense must play up to one of the leaguers best all-around offensive teams. The Cowboys host Green Bay next week. Despite the strong play of John Elway, the Broncos still play defense like a great team, I mean a great high school team. The Hoss threw through the Bronco D like it was not even there. The Raider’s offense had the best showing all season, but if the defense that played the first half of the Bronco game shows up in Buffalo, expect a long off-sea son for the silver and black. On the other hand, if the second-half “D” shows up, the Raiders could spoil the Bills fourth consecutive trip to the big show. Can the Raiders win in the post season in Buffalo? More than likely Art Shell will be losing sleep over the 51-3 loss the last time they made the flight in January to Buffalo. Cougar defense forces Panther turnovers in victory over PCC The bench proved to ■ Penetration from point guard Kyle Dixon leads be just as effective as the start ing line up with players like CCC in a 107-74 rout MattStahlcomingoffthe bench last Wednesday by Jason Hunter Staff Writer In a battle of big cats, theCougars’ men’s basketball team defeated the Portland Community College Panthers 107-74 in a league match up Jan. 5. From the opening jump the Cougars, 10-2, were all over the Panthers. Kyle Dixon once again proved that he is the best point guard in the league with an impressive per formance. Dixon capped the first half with a 'spectacular dunk to give the Cougars a 60- 30 halftime lead. The Panthers found themselves turning the ball over, due to defensive plays by the Cougars. Whenever the Panthers passed the ball, it seemed a Cougar would end up with.it some way or another. • - to make key plays. The inten sity level of the Cougars was just too much for PCC to handle. Travis Orrick put PCC’s hopes down as he con nected often from 3-point land. Orrick also had many solid de fensive plays. Dixon and Stahl penetrated the Panther defense while Orrick and Joe Bierbraur controlled the perimeter. “Our defense let down in the second half. We could have had better rebounding.” said Head Coach Royce Kiser. The team will work on those things and transition in prac tice this week. “They are hard working and that is why they are winning,” Kiser said. The attendance level for basketball games has been down this year. Kiser said he would like to see more students supporting this winning team. -^Cougar Home Calendar ^U/14, N Jdiho Coilege/PLU, Clackamaswrestlersprepare for competition Friday at home whenthe Cougarswill host North Idaho College at 6p.m. and Pacific Lutheran University at 7:30p.m.> by Jesse Sowa StaffWriter - The Clackamas Wres- thngTeamandHeadCoadhWie- Haluska are looking ahead to a successful finish to what has been an up and down season. .
