Cougars look for success at championships
The 1997 Clackamas
Cross Country Team
travels to Chemeketa
to compete in the
Southern Region
Championships this
weekend.

Now is the time for the Clacka
mas cross country teams to show
what they’re made of.
The Cougar men and women
travel to Chemeketa on Saturday
to compete in the Southern Re
gion Championships. Although
neither teams are expected to
win, the men have the best
chance.
According to Coach Jack Kegg,
Lane Community College is the
favorite. Along with Clackamas,
Mt. Hood Community College
and Clark Community College
will contend for the champion
ship. Sophomores Andy Bradley
and David Lemarr and freshman
Chris Chatfield are the Cougars’
top three runners. Kegg feels
they are the key to success.
“If our top three runners fin
ish in the top 10, we’ll have a
good chance to win [the champi
onship].”
The women are not as strong
as the men, but you still can’t
count them out. The favorites for
the women are also Lane, Mt.
Hood and Clark. Freshmen Cody
Hayes and Tyana Moralez are the
Cougars’ best chance to compete
with the other teams. They have
a good chance to finish in the top
seven, which will earn them an

World Series: High-priced players face veteran team
Continued from page 6
Florida’s road to the World Se
ries hasn’t been an easy one. Af
ter sweeping San Francisco 3-0,
the Marlins faced the defending
National League champion At
lanta Braves. Florida defeated
Atlanta 4-2.
The Cleveland Indians finished
the year with an 86-75 record,
good enough to win the American
League Central Division. Cleve
land, who last won a World Series
in 1948, struggled throughout the
year.
It wasn’t until the last two
weeks in the regular season that
the Indians pulled away to win the
division.
The trade everybody talked
about at the beginning of the year
was Kenny Lofton and Alan
Embree to Atlanta for David Jus-

tice and Marquis Grissom. The
press talked all year about the
Braves being a better team with
Lofton, but nobody talked about
Cleveland's part of the deal. Jus
tice went on to lead the team with
a .329 batting average. He was
second on the team with 33 home
runs and third with 101 RBI’s.
Third baseman Matt Williams,
whom Cleveland signed in the
offseason, hit 32 home runs and
drove in 105 runs. First baseman
Jim Thome hit a career high 40
home runs and drove in 102 runs.
The pitching staff for Cleveland
had injury problems all year.
Charles Nagy and Orel Hershiser
combined for a 29-17 record, and
relief pitchers Jose Mesa and Mike
Jackson teamed up for 31 saves.
Cleveland advanced to the series
by defeating the, defending cham
pion New York Yankees, 3-2,
and the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2.
In game one of the World Series,
with the score tied 1-1, Alou and
Johnson hit back-to-back
home runs in the fourth inning to
put Florida up 5-1. The Marlins
never looked back, defeating
Cleveland 7-4. Rookie pitcher
Livan Hernandez recorded his sec
ond win of the postseason.
In game two, it was a totally dif
ferent story. After each team
scored a run in the first, Cleveland
got things going again in the fifth
and the sixth. Grissom put Cleve
land ahead 2-1 with an RBI single
in the fifth. With two outs in the
fifth, ’Bip Roberts came through
with a two run single, giving
Cleveland a 4-1 lead.. The Indi
ans added two more in the sixth
on a Sandy Alomar two-run home
run. Neither team scored the rest
of the game, and Cleveland re
corded a 6-1 victory.
The series was tied 1-1 at press
time. Game four is scheduled for
today (Wednesday) in Cleveland,
where temperatures could dip
down into the 30’s with a chance
of snow.
