They came away with a victory in four games by scores of 30-26, 30-16, 22-30, and 30-28. “[SWOCC] played the best game they ever had against us,” Head Coach Kathie Woods said. “They took it to us, but we beat them. This just shows how strong the South is.” The Cougars were able to put together a total team effort giving them their ninth league win this year and their 26th win overall.

And this city is certainly no stranger to an oewsional ghost. The following are just a few of the more infa mous hauntings in the area. The closest haunting is the McLoughlin house in Oregon City. Dr. John McLoughlin, like many spirits, began his haunting only after his gravé was dis turbed. He and his wife were both seen (and heard) haunting their home at its new location. Dr. John McLoughlin was most likely in search of revenge. In life, he had loaned some money to a cer tain Mrs. Wells, who failed to cover her last payment of $43. 143 years later, a descendant of Mrs. > Wells became curator of McLoughlin’s relocated home. The McLoughlins’ bodies were moved along with the house, and their spirits stirred in search of revenge. Money began disappear ing, and was later found in a locked drawer. The piteous, faint cries of his wife were frequently heard, and John’s tall-figured ghost was seen on several occasions. 15 years ago, the debt was repaid, and there have been no reports since. Adjacent to the McLoughlin house Jis the house of Dr. Forbes Barclay. This establishment is haunt ed by numerous spirits.
