The end of the regular season
road falls Tuesday for the
Sandy High volleyball team as
it travels to Molalla for a 5 p m.
skirmish.
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

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

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

said
Grantz. "W e haven’t had to ail

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

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.
