See page 10 for this week’s sports calendar. Let me pass off some history to my wonderful readers. All of the Clackamas teams play in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community College’s (NWAACC) Southern Division. The NWAACC is made up of community colleges from Oregon and Washington. Up-to-date information on current Clackamas sports is always avail able at www.nwaacc.org. The Clackamas sports depart ment is more than stellar. The ath letes and coaches work very hard and deserve support of the stu dents and the faculty. So like I said, I’m calling everyone at Clackamas out. Go to a game! From the administrators, to the student taking one class at Clackamas this spring, to the com munity member who wants to sup port their local community col lege—I need to see more people at Clackamas sporting events. Y’all need to get at these kids and their coaches. So go to a game this spring and I hope to see you there. Holla!
