Clackamas takes first at Mt. Hood, falls
short of NWAACC tournament position

Co-Editor-in-Chief
The Clackamas women’s volleyball team took
first place at the 30th annual Mt. Hood Halloween
Tournament, but their victory was not enough to
secure a place in the NWAACC Championship
Tournament.
“They’re the defending champions, but yet they
can’t go on to the tournament,” Clackamas Athletic
Director Jim Jackson said. “That shows how tough
our league is.”
^e Cougar women finished 5-1 in the two-day
event, placing them above teams which will be going
to the NWAACC championship, but the standings
from the rest of the year make Clackamas ineligible.
“We are now placed to where we can’t go any
higher,” Jackson said. “It shows first of all that we’ve
got a tough team, but second of all we’ve got a tough
competition.”
K
Hie Cougars beat Chemeketa (who currently
stands above Clackamas in the Southern region),
Whatcom, Blue Mountain, and Shoreline, losing only
to Lower Columbia. Lower Columbia and Clackamas
met again in the tournament’s championship match.
This time Clackamas took the victory 24-30, 30-24'
and 15-12.
According to Jackson, the only tournament
more competitive than the Mt. Hood Halloween
Tournament — now called the Dorian Harris
Halloween Tournament after its founder - is the
NWAACC tournament itself.
