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

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

year’s state champion North

who have completed play at

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

" I thought the kids adjusted
real well to their full court
defense," said Booth "Wilson
showed us a lot of calm

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

lead. Moments later, Booth
said, "L inn Benton was 16

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.
