We can’t expect to score 100 every game.” Clackamas scored over 100 points in each of the first two gam es,,but poor outside shoot ing doomed the Cougars against die Riverhawks. Clackamas made just six o f 25 three point attempts and shot just 39 percent for the game.

She is solid and shoots the ball well.”
