The Clackamas volleyballers picked up two impor
tant wins last week, capturing the NWAACC
Southern Region title last Friday against
. Southwestern Oregon CC (SWOCC).
The Cougars jumped into last Friday’s game with
an 8-1 league record good for first in the South. 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. Statistical
leaders for the Cougars were: Brianna
McLeod with 13 kills and 13 digs,
Jessica Heidenreich with 13 kills,
Lindsey Girod-Burgess busted out
with 24 digs; she was also Cougar
Player of the Week. Crystal Jeffries
added nine kills.
Woods is very happy with her
team’s success so far this season.
“We captured the Southern Region
championship and that’s huge,”
Woods said. “Because of our success
early, no one in the South can catch
us. This is great because our region
can be so competitive, I’m really
proud of them.”

Portland has always been
a strange and unique place.
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.

the
McLoughlin house Jis the
house of Dr. Forbes Barclay.
This establishment is haunt
ed by numerous spirits. The
