Cougars romp through division
NICK BARRON
Business Manager
With two victories on the
road over divisional opponents
Umpqua and Southwestern Or
egon, the Cougars secured first
place in the Southern Division
of the NWAACC this past
week.
On Jan. 16, Clackamas made
the journey down 1-5 to
Roseburg, Oregon to do battle
with the Timbermen of Umpqua
Community College. The game
featured plenty of offense by
both squads, as the Cougars
were down ¡at halftime by a
score of 55-50, but roared to a
121-102 triumph over their op
ponent.
Matt Tabisz paced Clacka
mas’ scoring with 25 points,
with Matt Tondreau tossing in
18. Russ Schneider added 17
points from the bench and
Marvin Noble scored 16.
Tondreau and Lawson Struve
led the Cougars in rebounding
with seven each.
Clackamas coach Clif
Wegner complimented the role
that his substitutes played in
his team’s success over the
past seven days, saying, “We
had some really good perfor
mances off the bench, espe
cially from Rus Schneider and
Jon Rylaarsdam."
On Saturday, the Cougars
paid homage to the only team
tied with Clackamas for their
division’s lead, the Lakers of
Southwestern Oregon Commu
nity College. ClaGkamas’ de
fense faired better in this match
than it did against Umpqua,
holding their adversary to just
71 points, and forcing 14 turn
overs.
The largest difference in the
game was the rebounding as
the Cougars snagged 50 re
bounds,
compared
to
Southwestern’s 32. The second

chance points for Clackamas
totaled nine against the Lakers’
four. Free throw shooting also
a factor, as the Cougars made
78 percent of their chances from
the charity line, for a total of
28 points.
Clackamas’ offense was led
by Michael Kuebler with 39
points, followed by Struve with
11 and Tondreau with 10. Noble
fed the Cougar scorers with
seven assists. Jon Rylaarsdam'
brought down the most re
bounds for the Cougars with
10, as Kuebler took down nine.
The Cougars’ record now
stands at 17-2, the best record
in the NWAACC. Their league
record is a perfect 4-0, grant
ing Clackamas first place in
their division.
“We made some big steps
this past week,” stated Noble,
in referring to another perfect
week for the Cougars.
In continuing the praise,
Kuebler had this to say: “I
think we played really good.
They came out shooting, but
we out rebounded them.”
Clackamas
welcomes
Chemeketa Community College
to Randall Gym Jan. 23 in a di
visional game, with the Storm
holding a 3-1 league record and
a 13-5 overall record.
“They (Chemeketa) come in 3-
1, they’re one of the best teams
in the NWAACC. That’s a real
challenge for us. Every game is a
playoff game for us now, that’s
how everybody is coaching it.
We’re on everybody’s hit list,
beating Clackamas is a big sea
son-maker for any team we play,”
Wegner said, in speaking of the
match up.
On Saturday, Linn-Benton
stops by Clackamas to try to im
prove their 2-2 league record.
With an over all record of 7-10,
the Runners do not seem to pose
a threat to the dominant Cougars.
Water, weight loss and
weightlifting
By Nick Barron
Perhaps it is everybody’s belief
that they are relatively “in shape,”
it was mine before I added a little
class called “Health and Fitness
for Life.” My first thought when I
enrolled in this course was that it
would get me into the weight room,
as my mind was clouded with
thoughts of having Brad Pitt abs
and Lou Ferrigno biceps. How na
ive.
In instructor Nancy Mikleton’s
class, I am expected not only to lift
weights for 50 minutes three days
a week but to live the life of a pro
athlete. I am supposed to infuse
96 ounces of water into my body
on a daily basis. In order to achieve
good cardiorespiratory health, I
need to exercise like a mall-walker
on steroids for 60 minptes five
days a week.
That Whopper from Burger King,
if that ends up in my stomach, I’ll
be required to jog at 7 mph for 30
minutes to bum it off. Running for
that long at that pace makes me
want to eat three more Whoppers.
It’s a good thing I can’t afford to
buy a milk shake, or I’d end up jog
ging four miles to rid my body of
those calories.
Because I have chosen to have
my name on the roster of HPE 295,
I must lug a bottle of water around
with me everywhere I go. It is my
new companion, kind of like a cell
phone, except this item forces me
to stop every 15 minutes for some
r & r time with the urinals on cam
pus.
The class starts with a warm
lecture session in which my in
structor lets me know how fat and
unhealthy I am. We get to watch
videos in which formerly over
weight people inform me it is easy
to drop 20 pounds and my un
healthy habits can change like a
green light in rush hour. While I
am trying to learn how to love as
paragus and hate French fries,
there is a tap-dancing class going
on in the neighboring classroom.
Maybe I could concentrate more
on putting that donut down and
picking that bagel up if those ‘‘Gre
gory Hines wannabes” next door
would can it.
When ten o’ clock rolls around,
I am released for fifteen minutes to
enjoy, not a nice cold Pepsi, but a
nice aerobic workout. I have now
found that nothing gets me going
in the morning like a good brisk
walk in the rain. As soon as my
time on the track is completed, I
hurry inside and take my heart rate.
I am not sure what it means when
my heart beats that many times in
ten seconds, but I’m thinking it
must be good cause my class
mates’ numbers are far less than
mine.
Now the real fun begins, for our
instructor leads us all in stretch
ing exercises. I know that these are
good for me because my body
sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies
as I contort it into positions even
Mary Lou Retton would be pleased
with. By the way, the human form
can closely resemble Gumby, mi
nus the green skin.
Of course, in the class we have
those who are apparently in train
ing for a trip to Salt Lake City in
February, as they do not seem to
need any more weightlifting. For
instance, there is a guy, who I call
G. I. Joe because he was in the Ma
rines, I could learn a lot from as he
apparently could bench press his
weight by the time he was nine.
But I guess it isn’t that bad, I
mean, at least I am using my blad
der more. I am very familiar with
the facilities at Clackamas, most of
which work very well. I now know
how much stronger some of my
peers are than I am, and how much
body fat I have that I don’t need.
In all honesty, only time will tell if
this class actually aided me in my
quest to be a Greek god. All I have
to do is down that water, exercise
an hour everyday, devour only
fruits, vegetables and lean meat—
in other words, never eat fast food.
Oh, that reminds me, I need to run
to McDonald’s.
