Everyone is welcome! V f :l ■ hüll //ill; ADAM CRUM Staff Writer After this weekend, the Cougar wrestlers knowjust what tough com petition is all about. Clackamas hosted a dual meet on Friday, battling with Simon Fraser University, Southwestern Oregon Community College and Lassen Col lege, the top-ranked team in the nation. The Cougars did not fare as well as Coach LlSya Martindale had hoped, suffering defeat to Simon Fraser, SWOCC and Lassen by scores of 29- 12, 28-15 and 31-18, respectively. Despite the disappointing meet, there were some outstanding indi vidual performances. At 118 pounds, freshman Abel Valdez went 3-0 in the meet, includ ing a victory by pinfall over Simon Fraser's Jason Bennett. Valdez also recorded a 4-2 victory over Judd Wilcox of SWOCC and a 7-5 victory over Vince Cessa of Lassen. Valdez is currently ranked #1 in the Southern Region. In the heavyweight division, sopho more Leo Sandoval also went 3-0. Sandoval recorded a 4-0 victory over Ali Sandhu of Simon Fraser, a 7-1 vic tory over Cisco Cole of SWOCC, and defeated John Bell of Lassen by pinfall. Despite the lack of success Coach Martindale's team enjoyed, he feels his squad will still be a contender at the end. " We got strong performances from evr eryone, but injuries and eligibility have hurt us," said Martindale, who is iti his second year as head coach at Clackamas. One injury that Martindale referred to was that of Tyler Bransford. At 126 pounds, Bransford recorded a victory in his first match but was unable to compete after that due to an injury. Bransford is currently the top ranked wrestler in the region for his weight class. Clackamas is ranked 18th in the na tion but Coach Martindale feels his team will improve on that ranking as the season progresses. "I think we have an excellent chance of winning the regional tournament," said Martindale. WORTH MORE THAN YOU MAY THINK.
