Head coach Jim Martineau
said his team has a good shot
at the championship game this
year. He also said they need to
“Take care of the home court.”
Guard Shayla Fetters said the
key to victory is, “When we play
as a team we win.” Fetters is a
sophomore in her first season
with the team, having transferred
to Clackamas after playing for
Umpqua Community College
last year.
With Umpqua currently lead
ing the division, there is a good
chance Fetters will be facing her
old team in the playoffs. A sce
nario she is very excited about.
Fetters also said the difference
between Clackamas and her old
team is that the Lady Cougars
have, “more team chemistry”
and “win.”
