during a practice drill last week.
The Clackamas Men’s Bas
ketball team improved to 7-1 in
Northwest Athletic Association of
Community
Colleges'
(NWAACC) Southern Region
play with critical road wins
against Portland Community Col
lege and Lane CC.
The Cougars (19-4) remain
in second place in the Southern
Region behind Chemeketa, which
is ranked number one in the
Northwest with a 19-3 record.
Clackamas is currently ranked
number five in the NWAACC.
The Cougars travel to
Chemeketa next Wednesday.
Also in the poll, Yakima Val
ley is second, Shoreline third,
Clark fourth, Lower Columbia
fifth, Big Bend sixth and Skagit
Valley eighth.
The Cougars beat Lane CC
in Eugene, 77-72, on Monday af
ter the game was postponed on
Saturday night because of the
weather. Lane, the third place
team in the Southern Region,
dropped from 4-3 to 4-4 in league
play with the loss, which gives
Clackamas a three-game lead over
the Titans.
Against Lane, the Cougars
didn’t play well, but it was good
enough to win. Clackamas shot
over sixty percent in the first half,
but dropped below thirty percent
in the second half and held on for
the win.
Clackamas Head Coach
Royce Kiser mentioned that his
team played poorly on offense in
the second half, but made up for
it with strong play on defense.
“We played real good defense
in the second half,” Kiser said.
But Kiser pointed to the fact that
the Cougars still have some work
to do on offense. “We’re not ex
ecuting as well as we should,” he
added.
“I think it’s the mark of a
good team when you win when
you play bad,” Kiser said of his
team.
Hadley led Clackamas in
scoring with 18, Peason added 14
points and Valley 12. Lassen
scored 12 points and grabbed 10
rebounds.
The Cougars traveled to Port
land on Jan. 24 and defeated the
host Panthers 102-88.
Clackamas was led in scor
ing by Lassen, who scored 26, and
Hadley, who added 23. Pearson
scores 10 for the Cougars.
Clackamas travels to
Gresham tonight to take on Mt.
Hood CC. The Cougars will host
Umpqua CC on Saturday night in
Randall Hall. Both contests begin
at 8 p.m.

The Clackamas Community
College Cougars Wrestling Team
had several wrestlers place last
Saturday, at the Central Washing
ton Open Tournament.
The Cougars are preparing to
compete at the National Junior
College Athletic Association
(NJCAA) Region 18 Champion
ships in Rexburg, Idaho on Feb
ruary 9.
“We've pretty much had a
champion at every tournament
we’ve been to. This tournament
(Central Washington) we didn’t
have an individual champion, but
as a whole, we wrestled better
than we’ve wrestled all year,” said
Cougars Head Coach Mike
Haluska.
The Cougars had seven
wrestlers place in the Central
Washington Tournament led by
Leo Sandoval (heavyweight) in
second place. Corey Kaywood
(134) and Jamie Dixon (177) fin
ished third, while Glen Garrison
(142) and Lonnie Eggert (158)
placed fourth. The other wrestlers
who placed were Chris Frisbie
(118) and David Johnson (158),
who took fifth.
Clackamas had their final
home match of the season last
Thursday, against Yakima CC and
Clark College.
The Cougars defeated
Yakima handily 24-16 in a dual
match and wrestled exhibition
matches against Clark, a team in
their first year of competition.
“Right now up until this
point we’ve got a couple weeks to
fine tune things (for the Regional
Championships),” said Haluska.
“I think we’ve got five people
that I’m really expecting to place
in the top five at the national tour
nament, there are also 10 to 12
wrestlers that are potential All-
Americans it depends on what
they do to prepare themselves.
The Cougars last regular sea
son match will be a dual match
with Clark at 7:30 p.m. in
Vancouver. On Feb. 9, Clacka
mas will compete in the National
Junior College Athletic Associa
tion Region 18 Championships at
Rexburg, Idaho. The top three
placers in that tournament go to
the national tournament in Bis
marck, North Dakota on Feb 23-
24.

The 1996 Clackamas Community College Wrestling Team
Cowboys continue NFC dominance
Jesse Sowa
Sports Editor
This year’s Super Bowl was
not the Super Bore as in years
past, but the result was the same.
The Dallas Cowboys beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 on Sun
day to add to the domination by
the National Football Conference
(NFC) in the Super Bowl.
Dallas won it’s third Super
Bowl in four years. It also marked
the twelfth straight National Foot
ball League title game won by the
NFC and the fourteenth in the last
15 years. The last victory by the
American Football Conference
(AFC) was in 1984 when the Los
Angeles Raiders defeated the
Washington Redskins, 38-9.
Dallas joined the San Fran
cisco 49ers as the only team to win
the five Super Bowls.
But really, it was the Steelers
that beat themselves. Pittsburgh
quarterback Neil O’Donnell
threw two passes directly at Dal
las cornerback Larry Brown, who
intercepted both and set up two
decisive touchdowns by the Cow
boys.
The victory by Dallas was the
fifth in six years by the NFC East
Division. The N.Y. Giants won in
1991, Washington in 1992, and
Dallas in 1992 and 1993. Of the
17 wins by the NFC since 1970
when the two conferences were
formed, 10 have come from the
NFC East.
Several different reasons
have been given as to why the
NFC continues to win the Super
Bowl year in and year out.
Some think it's that the NFC
plays a rougher, more physical
game. In most cases over the last
12 years, the NFC has been the
aggressor.
Others say that the NFC has
more talent. This is also a possi
bility considering that the AFC
has bad luck in drafting players.
The NFC continues to own
the Super Bowl in every way, but
the AFC is slowly gaining
ground.
