The Cougars are 43-9 in match play with all nine losses coming in tournament play. “We are playing strong in league play, but we need to im prove our tournament play,” said Head Coach Kathie Woods. Misi Simmons and Misty Murray were chosen co-players for the week of Oct. 28 through Nov. 1 for their play in the Blue Mountain Tournament. The Cougars will travel to Eugene tonight to play Lane and Friday to Forest Grove to play Pa cific University (Jv) in nonleague play. Lane is fighting for position in the Southern Region in preperation for the Northwestern Athletic Association of Commu nity College championships Nov. 21-23. “Lane is going to be fired up to play us,” said Woods. Youth movement in full swing NBA continuedfrom Page 7 have some talent in Lorenzen Wright and Loy Vaught. However, what they need most at this point is a new attitude; los ing has become the norm. L.A. Lakers (55)-The addition of rookie Kobe Bryant and Shaq will addffive games to the win column for the Lakers. The Lakers lost most of their depth on the bench over the summer to acquire Shaq and will pay dur ing the long NBA sea son. Miami Heat (48) — The Heat will be a major threat this year now that they have had time to develop team chemistry after mak ing massive trades last season. Milwaukee Bucks (35) — With the additions of Ray Allen and Elliot Parry, the Bucks have a strong back court. The pressure is still on Vin Baker and Glen Robinson to give them scoring and defense in the front court. Minnesota Timberwolves (30) — The Timberwolves have a tal ented young group but will need time to develop.. With the loss of Isaiah Rider, the Wolves do not have a solid off-guard. Kevin Garnett will need to step up the scoring to make up the loss. New Jersey Nets (32) - The Nets have no depth. Kerry Kittles will add some solid scoring in the back court, but the pressure will be on Shawn Bradley. New York Knicks (54) — The Knicks could be the most im proved team this year if the star players, new and old, can work together and not fight for minutes. Orlando Magic (43) — The Magic raised their chances of making the playoffs Saturday in a trade that gave them Rony Siekaly, a strong offensive center, and a backup center traded from Golden State. Anfernee Hardeway will have to step it up if Orlando is to make it into the playoffs. Philadelphia 76ers (30) — The 76ers have one of the youngest and most talented back courts in the league with Allen Iverson and Jerry Stackhouse but lack depth on the bench. Phoenix Suns (48) — The Phoenix Suns are in a transition year. They are going young with the addi tion of Sam Cassell, Steve Nash and Rob ert Horry. Phoenix has made the right moves for the future but will lose about five more games this year. Portland Trailblaz ers (45) — The Blaz ers have added a lot of youth and talent — Isaiah Rider, Kenny Anderson, Jermaine O’Neal -- to the team, but the team lacks expe rience and chemistry. Sacramento Kings (42) — The Kings have a strong back court with the addition of Rauf. How ever, Brian Grant will need to step up his game if Sacramento is go ing to move to the next level. San Antonio Spurs (52) — If the Spurs want a championship they need to win in the next couple of years. Robinson and most of his supporting cast are heading to wards the end of their peek years. Seattle Supersonics (60)— With the addition of Craig Ehlo and overpaid Jim Mcllvaine, the Su personics should be ready to con tend with Chicago again this year for the championships. Toronto Raptors (30) — With the addition of Marcus Canby, the Raptors should be able to win 30 games this year. Utah Jazz (53)—x If Greg Ostertag can step in and fill Felton Spencer’s place, the Jazz should be able to have another outstand ing year. Vancouver Grizzlies (20) — With the addition of Shareef Abdur- Rahim, the Grizzlies have added some more scoring. However, the team still has limited talent over all. Washington Bullets (44) — With the addition of Rod Strickland, the Bullets have gained a major piece that was missing. Timberline TEAC1I skiThooi SNOWBOARDING OR SKIING Jamie Campos Staff Writer Clackamas students showed interest this fall in adding men’s and women’s soccer teams to the activities already present on cam pus, but couldn’t make it happen. ASG started a petition in the Community Center for anyone in terested in participating. Amy Ware, coordinator for the women’s soccer club, was very enthusias tic when over 20 women signed up for the club. However, when it came to at- tending the first practice, six women were present. Hopes were still high; they were sure more women would be present at future practices. After two weeks of prac tice and one scrimmage against a 9-to-13-year-old soccer team, the largest turnout was 12 women. Nine players are on the field at a time, leaving only four back-up players. When presented with the problem of not having enough women for a team, both Ware and Coach Jason Manning were very disappointed, as were the women active in the club. Because of lack of partici pation, the women’s club has been postponed until spring term. “We are hoping to come out in the spring. The potential is there to become a good soccer club, and maybe even an inter collegiate team sometime in the future. However, people have to be willing to participate and be dedicated to the sport,” said Ware. Ware is currently putting together a co-ed indoor soccer team for anyone who wants to participate and get the experi ence. For more information on the indoor program, call Ware at ext. 2247.
