Clackamas overthrows
top-ranked Chemeketa
John Thorburn
Assistant Sports Editor
When Lauren Mohan suited up
for last Wednesday’s women’s
basketball
game
against
Chemeketa, you could tell it was a
special night.
For the past several weeks,
Mohan has been sidelined from
mononucleosis and was not ex
pected to return to the
Clackamas lineup until playoff
time. Because of her illness,
however, she was only able to
participate in pregame warmups
due to fatigue.
The Cougars played host to
top-ranked Chemeketa in what
showcased two of the best teams
in the northwest. After falling be
hind early in the first half (10-4),
Clackamas went on an incredible
25-1 run that left the Chiefs in a
daze and with a sixteen point defi
cit at halftime (39-23).
Chemeketa came out firing in
the second half and led by Kelli
Johnston’s 21 points, regained the
lead by three with under five min
utes to play. Melissa Hollenbeck
and the Cougars, however, shut
the door on the Chiefs in the last
minute of the game and secured a
73-70 victory.
Hollenbeck’s clinching free
throws in the waning moments
Wednesday night added to her 18
points for the game. The
Clackamas offense was well-bal
anced by Clair Cox’s 18 points (11
rebounds), Robbie Nix’s 16 points
(6 rebounds) and Lisa Sorenson’s
10 points (5 rebounds).
“Melissa played real tough for
us,” said an ecstatic Head Coach
Karen Twain. “Everyone just
played great!”

Melissa Hollenbeck’s 18 points led the Cougars past Chemeketa.
This past Saturday night, the
Cougars continued their winning
ways against a stubborn Linn-
Benton squad.
Clackamas started out slow and
lethargic against the Roadrunners
and faced a 42-34 Linn Benton
lead. Led by Cox’s 19 points and
Hollenbeck’s 17 (10 rebounds), the
Cougars (2-2) outscored their op
ponent 48-18 in the second half
for an 82-60 victory. 6’ 1” Robbie
Nix grabbed 13 rebounds for
Clackamas.
“The entire team played
tremenedous,” said Twain. “The
first half we were very flat and not
hustling, but the second half ev-

Be sure to watch this
weekend’s Super Bowl.
This Sunday, the Green Bay
Packers and the New England Pa
triots will face off in the latest edi-
tion of “naptime,” otherwise
known as Super Bowl XXXI, in
New Orleans. Most everyone feels
the Packers will handily defeat the
Pats but, before I jump on the
“Cheesehead” band
wagon, I must give New
England their due credit.
The Patriots bring to
the title game a very stub
born defense that has not
allowed a touchdown yet
in the playoffs along with
strong-armed quarter
back Drew Bledsoe. The
flashy running of tailback
Curtis Martin has often left teams
scratching their heads, but he is
inconsistent in his performance
during the playoffs.
Now let’s see what the Packers
bring to the table. Two-time NFL
Most Valuable Player Brett Favre
will lead his team at quarterback
with strong running back Edgar
Bennet standing behind him.
While the explosive punt-re-

turner in Desmond Howard can ig
nite a crowd, Green Bay is not plan
ning on seeing the Patriot’s punter
much. The defense is anchored by
All-Pros Reggie White and Eu
gene Robinson, who are both cer
tainly capable of causing turn
overs. And, of course, We must not
forget the fans. Home to the most
loyal and zaniest fans in the world,
the Packers will have an added ad
vantage as they are not only the
favorite in Wis
consin but all
over the country.
When you
combine the star-
studded Packers
with the un
tested, inconsis
tent Patriots,
there can only be
one outcome: a
very ugly game. Hey, there’s al
ways the Bud Bowl.
Print pick:
Packers by 16
eryone came out fired up and with
much more intensity.”
The game marked the quick re
turn of Mohan as she started at
point guard for the Cougars.
“Lauren played exceptionally
well,” said .Twain. “She hit a great
three-pointer at a key time for us.
We’re trying to ease her back into
the lineup because she’s missed
a lot.”
