Community College earlier
in the week, Saturday was a
happy day for the Clackamas
men’s ^basketball team as they
claimed a 76-61 victory at; home
against Umpqua CC. Barely
ten minutes into the first half,
the Cougars (10-11, 2-5) had
jumped out to a 21-6 lead.
Clackamas head coach Clif
Wegner was happy to get the
early lead. “I think it always
helps to have the lead,” said
Wegner. “I ’d always rather have
a lead. It’s important to get off
to a good start.”
Wegner was also happy to get
the victory over a division rival,
after losing five of six games to
start league play.
“We’ve been on a tough
streak here,” said Wegner. “You
know when you get behind;
sometimes it can be hard to get
the confidence to pull back.”
Starting guard Jake Dewitt
also felt it was good to get an

early lead after starting slow the
past few contests.
“We started out well, because
the past couple games we’ve
gotten down by twenty before
we even really started to like,
click and play well,” said
Dewitt. “It was like it set a fire
under us, so I feel like it was
important to get a lead because
we haven’t done that in a long
time.”

double figures, led by Michone
Hopkins who had 13 points and
11 rebounds. Brock Lutes added
12 points and team-highs of

as the Cougars held a 58-27
, advantage for the game.
“As a team we really rebound

the boards which is really good
