Thurs., Dec. 2, 1976 SANDY (Ore.) POST - 11 Saint cagers await Lane CC tourney K Ml Hood C om m unity College's task et ba llers had everything they could ask for, including turnovers, in their Saturday battle. Despite turning ttie twill over 25 tunes to Edmonds' nine, the Saints barely failed to win another Mt, Hood tournament title by a HI 7» tally. Die Saints now await the Lane CC Tournam ent in Eugene Friday and Saturday. At 7 p m Friday Mt. Hood faces the University of Oregon JV contingent while Lane hosts Northwest Christian ( ’allege The Hooders will then meet Linn-Benton in Albany next Wednesday and also had a game this Wednesday with Concordia College, results not ava liable due to press deadline "They are sure to be tough," said Saint skipper Herb Booth about the Oregon JV squad "W e’ve heard rumors from people in Eugene that they are quick and have two guys at 6 8 Since their varsity is going on the road, four guys w ill probably drop down to the JV team." Lane w ill field a young team, much like the Saints, with good skills coming from 6-3 Dennis Immonen, a member of last year’s state champion North Eugene club Northwest Christian, with a lot of players who have completed play at lame and Linn Benton, was noteworthy for giving national contender Concordia College two of its four losses last year (Mt Hood also doled out one). Saturday night play feature» the losers at 7 p m and the winners at 9 p m in the championship tilt. I Jnn Benton, which placed third at the Mt Hood Tour nament, is headed by 6 5 Lee Bradish, who scored 46 points in two tourney games. Though Bixith says he and his team are basically going into this tournament "b lin d ," he relishes the challenge. "We have no chance to scout," said Booth. "This way we have a way to find out how the kids handle pressure and how much pressure my stomach can take." Pressure may be something to linger in the Saint camp Along with the narrow HI 79 loss to Edmonds Saturday, Mt. Hood also got bad news when forward Jeff Perse,s crashed to the floor with six minutes to play in the game. Three of his front teeth were damaged and the next day one was removed while the other two were said to be seriously cracked. "W e’ve taken a hockey mask for Jeff and cut bigger eyeholes in it for him ," said Booth, "the dentist tried to save those two teeth but any strong contact and they won’t live." Meanwhile Brian Hagbo, out with a kidney abrasion, cannot have physical activity for two weeks and may no, be ready for action, if at all, until January. Brian Koppang has been slowed by the flu and is questionable for this weekend as is Persels Hood reserves aid win over L&C JV 's Three men came off the bench to spark Mt Hood C o m m u n ity C o lle g e 's basket ha Hers to a 91-59 victory over Lewis & Clark JV in Friday nigh, season opening action. The Saint game was the nightcap of the firs, round in the Mt. Hood Tournament, a benefit aeries for the Gresham Kiwanis Club In the first game Edmonds CC surged in the second half and clipped Linn- Benton QC, 93 83, The tournament continued Saturday with Lewis & Clark JV and Linn Benton CC squaring off for third place in the tourney while the Saints and Edmonds CC awaited for the championship B ill Schaefers, Richard Wilson and Stanley Washington combined for 45 points while doing duty in reserve roles to lead the Saints Schaefers was 7-11 from the field and flagged 18 point», Wilson 6 8 from the field and 14 points while Washington notched 13 second half tallies. M, Hood coach Herb Booth used 13 players in the bench em ptying battle but was without scheduled starting guard Brian Hagbo Hagbo suffered an abrasion on his kidney during a minor collision at Thursday practice He was in and ou, for treatment bu, internal bleeding reoccured and Hagbo was admitted for emergency care Friday night. Booth noted Hagbo was almost put on intravenous feeding, which many indicate the 6 3 guard may be sidelined for a fa ir amount of.time. Forward Jeff Persels was also down with a flu after suffering from severe stomach cram ps Wednesday. But Persels persevered and wound up with 5-9 shooting and 11 points. The game was tight as Lewis A Clark JV fielded two big frontliners in 6-8 David John and 6-9 Harry Carson. Booth said. "They gave us real trouble on the boards bu, our guys were too quick for them when Carson Ruled out in the first half, they had a real problem " • John collected 10 rebounds but was matched by the Saints' Keith Rice and Schaefers added seven more The Hood team fired 36-71 from the field with Todd Cross’ 6-7 accuracy leading the way while IA C was 24-60 The Saints shot 19 28 from the line while the juniur Pioneers were 11 -23. " I thought the kids adjusted real well to their full court defense," said Booth "Wilson showed us a lot of calm m aturity in the press. We played a fine team ball game and hustled hard " In the opener, Linn Benton held a 42 35 lead at half but Edmonds reeled off quick points and took a five-point lead. Moments later, Booth said, "L inn Benton was 16 points down and looked like they had suddenly run out of gas." James Ferguson, a 6-5 returning sharpshooter guard, pumped in 28 points for Edmonds while l^ e Bradish canned 23 and former Park rose player Don Smith 21 for the Roadrunners. With the possibility of three less starters, Booth w ill move Mark Smith to a forward slot and w ill star, Smith, Keith Rice, Bill Schaefers, Richard Wilson and Todd Gross Kop pang w ill , m * shifted to guard and will alternate with Gross "We're no, necessarily losing anything," said Booth "We ll still be tough inside ’’ The team w ill also add B-2'4 Les McCulley, a member of the football team After two days of practice, McCulley has won good notices from Booth and assistant Mel Farris. sports In Hw Edmonds game, the loss of Hagbo forced Booth to use two small guards The plan was for the Saint offense to drive the Edmonds team and force fouls It worked for Mt. Hood got to shoot 21 26 in charity shots in , he first half. But turnovers by the front liners (18 total of 25, with six by Rice and five by Smith) slowed or stopped the* game plan. Persels, before hitting the floor, was 10 16 from the field, GOOD M.irv Hiebert, head football coach at Mt Hood Community College, said Tuesday he is not a candidate for the same position at the University of Oregon. A P ortland newspaper reported in its Monday edition that callers to the University of Oregon athletic department had suggested the names of Hiebert and Portland State University head coach Mouse Davis, among others, as suc cessors. " I ’m not considering the job." said Hiebert. "Maybe some fans or persons who followed the Mt. Hood football program might have men tioned my name to the news media or to the University of Oregon athletic department. "B ut I have not been con tacted or made contact with the University of Oregon." Hiebert, over his last two seasons as head coach of the Saints, saw his team to 19-1. In seven years at MHCC, Hiebert has a 42 23 record. Overall through 18 seasons of head coaching, including time spent at David Douglas High school, he has a 143-50 8 record. The University of Oregon position was open a fte r university officials terminated Don Read las, Friday Read, in the post for three years, was the third coach in a row to be promoted within the Duck grid coaching staff and then fired can put guys in »he semifinals," said Head "In the past we’ve had one guy finish second and another third Last year only four com m unity college wrestlers placed and we had one of them (Chris Hum phries)."

Steve Bragg (Reynolds); 167, Jeff I^ancaster (Barlow) and Richard Dyal (Sandy); 177, Ken Roy and 190, possibly Pete Heath. Head w ill not take any heavyweights since those wrestlers have just turned out from the foot ball team. "How we ll do w ill depend on our draw,” said Head " I t ’s all just a matter of getting mat ches under our belt.” In ju rie s and m ental problems have struck »he team, including ailing 150-pounder Doug Dilley, but Head is still pleased with the progress of his team " I ’m excited about this team,” said Head " I t has a great attitude and has been working hard. I feel we have the nucleus of a conference championship team.” Head's traveling squad, as of Monday, looked to be: 118, Dan Dire; 126, Norm Shadlow; 134, Joe Tyner and Kelly Wilson; 142, Steve Moses and Dave Robinson; 150, Mike Ward (sophomore letterman and former Barlow HS athlete) and Pat Stivers (Gresham HS); 158, Mark Tuttle (Sandy HS) and Hood women set for hoop scrap Basketball gets a semi-early bounce for M, Hood Com m un ity College’ s female contingent Tlie first and only battle in 1976 w ill be Wednesday at Willamette University at 7 p m.

Since the tournament is open to all competition, it ’ll be a stern test for Mt Hood, one that makes Gary Head call it an "eye-opener" for his team Particularly when the majority of Head’s crew are freshmen Most of the NWAAC teams w ill be represented in Lower C olum bia, Green R iver, Centralia.
