F ro m there the Pioneer netters hope the season carries on with district play Nov. 6. From coach Ron Grant's recollections of the League standings M olalla is the last team that the Pioneers have to reckon w ith for second place in the Valley Division and a district berth. The Indians must battle Sandy and also Estacada in a makeup date before their season ends A loss anywhere down the line should ice the Pioneers’ district slot. The Sandy varsity and JV squads are both 7-2 in league play dosses to Estacada i and 8- 3 overall while the Pioneer freshmen are 8-1 in league and 51 overall Estacada tops the division for varsity and JV play while Sandy leads the freshmen list. In last Thursday play the varsity stomped Canby 15-11, 15-8 while the JV squad also won 15-2, 15-8. The frosh collected a 1511,13-15, 15-8 win. The big challenge came Tuesday when Estacada in vaded the Pioneer lair, but the varsity fell to the Rangers 8-15, 13-15 and the JV team also lost 515, 7-15 The freshmen tipped the Estacada six, 15-9, 8-15, 15 10. "Both teams knew what they were doing out there." said G rantz of the varsity contest. "Hopefully we’ll get another shot at Estacada at districts. If we re going to do it I ’d just as soon have us d o it a t districts. " I thought we played pretty well I f we play as well against Molalla as we did against Estacada we'U have it sewed up. But we ll have to watch out because we don’t have it wrapped up yet." G rantz took tim e to praise Nancy Perkins and Linda Stone for their steady play on the courts. But the coach also noted problems with consistency in aae Mt. Hood Men’s Pool League SIGN-UP Zig Zag Inn 7:30 p.m. Oct. 21 Zig Zag, Oregon 4 Man teams accepted on first come basis. All interested members must attend sign-up meeting. with Clark CC and Linn-Benton CC in Vancouver Tuesday at 8 p.m. Results from the three-way match with George Fox and University of Portland in Newberg Wednesday were not available due to press deadline The four wins came fast and pretty much easy for the Saint volleybailers at the W illam ette Invitational MHCC blitzed Linfield (15-3, 11-15. 159), Oregon College of Education J V (151, 152), W illamette (152, 1511) and University of Oregon JV (158, 15-7) in rapid succession In the championship match the Saints dropped a 14-16, 1514, 11-15 decision to the Lewis & Clark varsity. In that final test the Saints had tQ come back from a 12-3 deficit in the second game to earn a final bid. “ I don’t have any comments that fault any of the players' abilities," said H arris, who started a six-man squad with fiv e fre sh m e n , in c lu d in g s e c o n d -s tr in g e r s T e re s a A le x a n d e r and Donna Y am ashita, who filled in for sidelined sophomores Diane Harmon and M arion Anacker. She added she was pleased w ith the adjustments made by the squad with the newcomers Harris praised the setting of G a il W eth erb eee and the team ’s hitters. while Sandy has been playing power volleyball for only two years. "1 think the reason we're winning and playing so well is because w e're working hard, even if we don't have the naiurally gifted players that Estacada has " Grantz said He ii'-'ed that the three best Itai i (layers are all juniors but pointed out the youth of his own varsity squad. Only three of the 15girl varsity units are seniors (Lori Oldenburg, Sarah Koepke, Jennifer McCoy) while four a re ju n io rs (Stone. Perkins. Jenny Johns and Rebecca Koepke) and three sophomores (Jeanne Duff Julie Colt, Karen Hashagen) court and with "W e ha\ vn't had to cover a court like we should have ag ain st E s ta c a d a ,’ ’ said Grantz. "W e haven’t had to ail season It only takes a couple of matches for the players to see the reasoning behind covering the court well "W e also had serving d if ficulties It's tough to win when the other team is serving all the time " G ra n tz said he thought Estacada might have been a b e tte r and m ore n a tu ra l volleyball team, but noted the Ranger program has been in existence for around five years Polo poolers point to 5th place finish Saint volleybailers place 2nd at meet The M t. Hood Community College women’s volleybailers dropped their first gam e of the season. But that loss and four wins for a second place finish in the W illam ette Invitational Friday and Saturday put a smile on coach Dorian H a rris ’ face. “ They w ere the best games of the season,” beamed the Saint coach, whose team is now 10-1. including wins over Lewis & Clark JV and Umpqua CC last Thursday. The upcoming slate pits MHCC against Central Oregon Friday a t 2:30 p.m on the Saint courts. M HCC w ill also hit the Lewis & Clark Invitational Saturday and a three-way meet covering the serving SANDY VOLLEYBALLERS Lori Oldenburg (partially visible) and Linda Stone (right) go for the block of a Estacada player's (33) shot at the net. The Pioneers dropped the match to Estacada but should be able to gain district play with a win over Molalla next Tuesday. (Post photo) A fte r losing hold on a potential fourth place finish in league standings, the Sandy High water polo team w ill try to hold onto fifth as it tests Apollo waters, facing Sunset Thursday at4 p.m. A win against Sunset should sew up fifth place for the Pioneers, thus pairing them up in district play with the fourth place winner, which appears to be Reynolcfe Despite losing to Reynolds 159 last Thursday the Pioneers know they could have won that one With the standings shaping up for district play a sixth place team . which Sandy could still become, would play either Parkrose or Tigard Neither would be easy for a sixth place team From districts, four teams w ill go to state competition "W e w ere hoping to get fourth," said coach Russ Alvarez "Now we’re a im ii« for fifth and that means we want to beat Sunset I f we face Reynolds again we could be much closer to the final round since we think we could beat Reynolds the second time around " I ’ m hoping we’ll wake up and can keep our mouths shut. We should be able to play our game and let the referee do his job.” Keeping a mouth shut should be key to Sandy's w ater polo fortunes since it cost the Pioneers the Reynolds game A fter Sandy ran up a 9-4 lead over the Lancers in the first quarter of Thursday's battle, the Pioneers objected to calls made by the referee, Chris Roth the loudest Roth, who had scored five times already, got the boot from the game and from there Sandy’s play went downhill " In the first two quarters we w ere p la y in g w e ll,” said Alvarez 'T h e n Chris was thrown out of the game and we went downhill The offense seemed to lose its momentum, passes were bad. ball handling terrible The team seemed to fall apart like it thought it couldn't win without Chris "R e yn o ld s ju s t keep swimming and got better while we just seemed to tire out." Alvarez thought word might have gotten out about Roth and his heckling of officials. He added re fe re e s a re not necessarily qualified since the O regon School A c tiv itie s Association does not recognize water polo as a sanctioned high school sport So the possibility of getting an official without experience in calling water polo games is great and that means maybe complaints are warranted. Reynolds tied the gam e up at 5 9 by the end of the third quarter and then blasted home seven goals to complete the game Lancer Doug Moore tallied six times while Sandy got three goals from Jeff Ycungbluth and one from Randy Polivka. in addition to Roth's five. Another Pioneer problem area w ill be In keeping an of fensive attack going for lack of p la ye rs. P o liv k a , e a rlie r sidelined with an infection In his left ear, is now out for the season with a right ear in fection. That should prove to be a trouble area for the Sandy team, which Alvarez hopes can react as well as it did against Reynolds in the first half And he also hopes to keep everyone in the pool at the same time.
