basketball team. He said that Walter
was a really strong asset on the team,
both as a point scorer and as a leader.
Luckily for the team, Walter was
deemed able to play in the Feb. 5
game against Chemeketa Community
College, scoring 10 points and leading
the team to a 31 point spread victory,
Clackamas’ biggest win this season.
Overall, the team is very driven to
win the league this season. Even after
the loss to Lane, the players were con­
fident they could get back on track.
“People are on board and they
want to win the championship,” said
Max Jacobsen, an up-and-coming
post
Wegner had a more resaved tone.
“If we can win the league, great, but
the most important thing is to be play­
ing our best basketball; at the end of
the year be healthy and positive,” he
said.
In terms of logistical strengths,
both Wegner and Walter were happy
about the team’s offensive game.
With an overall shooting average of
about 50 percent, the team feels pretty
good about its position. Defensively,
the team is still struggling to find a
rhythm, but looking at the most recent
game’s score, that may be falling into
line.
With four games to go before the
championship, there is still a lot that
could happen this season. But with
Walter back on the court and team
spirits having been tested and tem­
pered by a little adversity, the last third
of the season promises to be energetic
and exciting.
