We have a chance to be as good or even better than last season’s team,” said Head Coach Jim Martineau. “On paper, we have a good-looking team, with seven returnees from last year and four promising freshman who look to contribute.” Starting guards from last season will return for their sophomore sea sons, LaToya Hill, Rochelle Reeves and Kellie Morey. Those three sup plied 65 percent of the offense last season, but they look to help the team in other areas with the addition of some talented freshman scorers.. Charday Hunt, a 6’0” forward from Tigard, Kellyn Cooper, a 6’1” post from Corvallis and Monique Tribble, a 6’2” post from Coquille, have added a component not seen from a Cougar team in a long time: an inside presence. “We now have an ability to score inside, something that we just didn’t have last season,” said Martineau. “It gives us a luxury to be able to score inside and outside, which will enable us to shoot a higher percentage and come, away with a few more easy buckets inside. It’s a nice luxury to have.” Emma Ward, a 5’5” guard from Clackamas and Kayla Ohlman, a 5’11” post from Estacada, provide some sophomore experience and leadership off the bench and along with guard Heattier Righttey, a 5’6” freshman guard from St Helens, form the Cougar presence off the bench. All three girls will be called on to provide help in the up-tempo offense that Martineau employs. “We are very happy on how we finished last season, basically taking a whole new group of girls and fak ing them to a third-place finish at the NWAACC tourney,” said Martineau “That experience, along with some new inside help, will make it very interesting on seeing how this group does. One thing is certain: this will be a fun group to watch. If they mesh well, we will do some damage in our division and possibly, at the NWAACC tournament.” The first chance for Clackamas fans to see the new version of Lady Cougar basketball will be this Saturday, at 4 pm., when Clackamas takes on Blue Mountain CC in.the Randall Hall gym. The first league game will be Jam 11, when the Lady Cougars take on Portland CC in the Randall Hall gym beginning at 5:30 p.m. fifing field studies ovative instructors and motivated students nds-on experience in small classes peon-one mentoring octical and relevant coursework Warships for transfer students ee parking and a convenient campus location frlR TERM STARTS JANUARY 9™. ork with an advisor, e-mail studentinfo@marylhurst.edu pH 503.699.62 68.

Kenny Stephenson I Contributing Writer stom degree plan option iji d Upcoming year in sports www.marylhurst.edu 800.634.9982 It looks like it’s going to be another busy winter for sports here at Clackamas. For this upcoming term, men’s and women’s basketball are starting, as well as our wrestling pro gram. Athletic Director Jim Jackson says the men’s basketball team has some returning players, including three start- ers, but a few key veterans have been slowed due to injuries. The men’s team will bring their 27-year consecu tive win streak and look to have their seventh consecutive 20-win season. The women’s basketball team has a good mix of returning players and freshman that should make for what Jackson calls “a solid group.” The women’s team, who took filini in the conference tournament last year, will also look to duplicate their success. Both basketball teams compete in the NWACC with other schools such as Lane, Chemeketa, Umpqua and Mt Hood, making it a very competi tive league. “It has gone down to the wire the last few years,” Jackson said about recent seasons, with our Cougars moving on to the tournament each of 1 the last five years. The Clackamas wrestling team is in ; Region 18 of the National Junior College Athletic Association. There ' 5 are not very many teams in Region 18, but Jackson has high hopes. ‘T think that four or five of the teams in Region 18 will be in the top 10 in the nation,” Jackson said. There were many “red shirts” from last year that are ready to step up this year. “The wrestling team has the chance to be the best it has been in 1 about 10 years!” said Jackson. Before Winter Term is over, the spring sports will start as well. Baseball, softball, and track & field start onFeb. 1. Continued from SOCCER, Page 1 “I’m just extremely proud of these girls and how they’ve come together as a team to pull through the challenges that they did, not just this weekend but this whole season,” said Nelson. “These are just some tre mendous players and people^ and I feel honored to be their coach.” As- for next year, all that is known is that the Lady Cougars will be returning nine players from this year, including Hannah Nash, Clackamas’s leading scorer, and assist leader Miridm Coto. “We have some big shoes to fill. We need lots of good new recruits to come in and help, but we do get our lead ing scorer and assist women back along with a good base of players, so it- will be fun,” said Nelson.
