MAGGIE JIRASEK / Clackamas Print MAGGIE JIRASEK / Clackamas Print NICK BARRON Staff Writer Despite their poor shooting, Clackamas men’s basketball team continued to remain undefeated through six games in their 2001- 2002 campaign. Last Friday, Warner Pacific’s junior varsity team rolled into town, suffering a 99-86 loss at the hands of the Cougars. Clackamas began the game with their notorious full-court press, but the Warner Pacific Knights penetrated the defense better than other teams had against the Cougars. Nearly nine minutes into the first half, the score re mained tied at 17, as the Clacka mas offense struggled to gener ate points. The Cougar press eventually wore down Warner Pacific and created 7 turnovers in the first half, aided by Clackamas’ 5 steals. Wegner’s team cashed in on Knight turnovers, forging ahead to take a 48-38 lead at the half. As expected, the Cotigars be gan the second half with their full-court press in full display. Warner Pacific handled the pres sure defense well to begin, but just as happened in the first half, the visitors began making costly errors that resulted in Coughr points. To further hinder the Knights, Coach Wegner consis tently changed the defensive set for his team, altering between, a 2-3 zone and man-to-man defense. Eventually the revolving de fenses and full-court pressure brought Warner Pacific to their knees, resulting in a 99-86 vic WINTER BREAK WORK tory for Clackamas. The Cougars improved their over-all record to 5-0 with the win, and remained in first place in the Southern Di vision of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Col leges. Marvin Noble paced the Cou gar attack, scoring 22 points, trailed by Evan Kieling with 14 points. Noble also led the de fense with five steals and Michael Kuebler stole the ball three times for Clackamas. Kieling grabbed the most re bounds for the Cougars with five, as Kuebler took down four. Clackamas shot 50% from the floor, with Kieling and Lawson Struve leaving Randall Gym per fect in field goal percentage for the night. “I just took it to the hole,” said Noble. “They (Warner Pa cific) couldn’t guard me out side.” When asked if he believed his team was really as good as their record indicated, Noble said he felt the Cougars could win the NWAACCs. With yet another win under their belts, Clackamas traveled to McMinnville to battle with Linfield’s junior varsity team. The Cougars already obliterated Linfield to begin their season, but this time the Wildcats were ready for Clackamas. This time around, the match with Linfield was physical and the score was close. In the end, though, the Cougars again prevailed with a 95-86 vic tory. Statistics were not available at press time. The defeat of Linfield leaves Clackamas in first place in their division, with a perfect 6-0 record, making the Cougars one of only two teams in the NWAACCs who are undefeated. This weekend the Cougars face a challenge from the Golden State, as they travel to Porterville, California for the PC Western Showcase.
