Hood Saints. “Wednesday we played a real good game at Mt. Hood. We played fairly good offense and played good defense,” said Head Coach Royce Kiser. Clackamas beat the Saints 96- 86. After breaking out to a 42- 33 lead at the half, they were able to keep the lead in outscoring the Saints by one in the second. The Cougars shot an out standing 50.7 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from be hind the arc. Despite a decided height disadvantage, the Cou gars out rebounded the Saints 35-32. “Being small, it is very hard to guard the post men. We stopped the point guards, but the post are careering [having career nights] on us.” Antwain Williams had a strong game with 29 points, leading five Cougars in double figures. Oscar Rodriguez had 13 points and a team high of five assists. JohnThorburn Assistant Sports Editor The Clackamas Women’s Basketball team ran into a tough Umpqua team this past Saturday night. After winning five straight games, the Cougars fell to the Timberwomen 94-78, giving Umpqua sole possession of first place. Paced by Melissa Hollenbeck’s 29 points and Claire Cox’s 16, Clackamas was never able to match 6’5” Angela Burgess and Sarah Coleman’s combined 47 points. “Umpqua’s number one by themselves now and rightfully deserving,” said Head Coach Karen Twain. “They are a real good team. They have a real tall girl that’s hard to cover and an excellent wing. Their point guard is good; and they have a strong bench, so they’re pretty well bal anced.” Hollenbeck shot close to 50 T emporary S ervices - * * * * Leif Spencer led the team with 26 points, but the Cougars ran into a roadblock in the closing minutes against the Timbermen.

The next hbme action will be Saturday against South western Oregon Community Col lege at 8 p.m. Cougars fall to 5-3, face Chemeketa tonight I)\kSr\R Jen Dorman Service Administrator On Saturday Clackamas led most of the way but struggled down the stretch, hitting just 2-11 on free throws in the second half. The Cougars lost 76-74. “We led until the last 10 sec onds. If we don’t make free throws down the stretch, you are going to get beat,” commented Kiser. Leif Spencer had 26 points on 10 of 17 shooting and four treys. Rodriguez had eight points, three steals and six assists. “We played a pretty good game against Umpqua, but we didn’t play well at the end as they came back to beat us,” said Kiser. “We had some guys foul out. The main thing that hurt us was we didn’t play as good a defense.” Clackamas is four and four about half way through the sea son. “The situation we are in right now is, all the losses we have had were very close. It is not like we can’t win the games,” said Kiser. “We got to play consistent. Until we get con sistent we won’t win.

That’s not just her though; that’s something the whole team needs to work on.” The game marked the return of Freshman Shelly Mitchell who had been sidelined for over the past month due to injuries from a car accident over Christmas break. Mitchell, along with Loren Mohan who had been sidelined with mononucleosis, are slowly coming back to the Cougar lineup and are adding the strong depth that Coach Twain enjoyed towards the beginning of the season. “It helps to have her [Mohan] back in the lineup,” said Twain. “She still handles the ball real well, but she gets tired a lot easier because she’s still recovering. But she’s hanging in there. She’s tough.” “Shelly’s getting there,” added Twain. “This is her first week back with us, but we just need to be patient. She came back for the last few games, but it’s hard to jump back into the role?’ Saturday’s game was the second and final meet ing of the regular season against the Timberwomen. The week was not a total loss for the Cougars, however, since they de feated Mt. Hood last Wednesday night. “Our defense needs to improve if we want to win,” Photo by Brendon Neal said Twain. “We play two Krystal Nakamoto was lost to an tough teams this week ankle injury during Saturday’s [Chemeketa and SWOCC], game against Umpqua. so we’re going to run a lot fense. From that, our offense will in practice and focus on our de- improve too.” vXtJ #>. $ 1J ® M ípjí ' t. I Q Classified Advertising Free Cellular Phones!!! AT&T Wireless Services.
