A fte r a disastrous fa ll season, i t ’s
refreshing to see a successful boys sports
program at Sandy HighSchool.
’The Pioneer wrestlers are making waves
around the state. Already, they have finished
ahead of state champ Barlow in a
tournament and beaten other state placers
from a year ago. Sandy has a 3-1 league
record and the Timber Valley League is
widely regarded as one ot the toughest, if not
the toughest, conference in the state.
The other might be the Metro League, and
Sandy topped defending Metro champ Aloha
35-30 this past Saturday.
How good are coach Ron Calhoun’s
Pioneers? As a dual meet team. Sandy is
pretty good As a big tournament team, the
Pioneers are excellent.
Translated. Sandy has a number of
excellent individuals who can take on most
anyone in the state. But it has a few weak
weight classes where opponents can score
big in dual meets. In bigger tournaments,
however, those points are usually divided
among several opposing wrestlers.
Sandy has had its ups and downs this year,
but it looks like the Pioneers are finally
starting to je ll There are two reasons for the
improvement — first, the return to the lineup
of Dan M artin and, second, the switch of
Mike Rohweder from 115 to 106.
M artin was undefeated when he was
struck down by a shoulder in ju ry and missed
a month. He just returned to the lineup and
took the 157-pound division at the Hood River
tournament.
Rohweder was surprisingly tough at 106
last year as a freshman. But he had been
getting hammered this season at 115. He
decided to cut down and had no trouble
making weight. He is also undefeated since
making the cut.
If Rohweder can continue strong at 106,
Sandy is going to be tough to beat. Larry
Topliff is 10-3 at 98 pounds and the Pioneers
have a potent one-two punch at the start of
every match.
From 115 to 130. Sandy is vulnerable. But
all of those wrestlers are capable of coming
throughewith a win. especially Robert Paul
at 123 * The Pioneers' strength, though,
begins at 136 It's a m urderers' row.
Scott Quick is a senior who is starting to
come on at 136 He owns an 11-4 m ark and is
in every match. Another senior, Mike
Russell, is 19-2 at 141 and a winner at the
Pacific Tournament in preseason, one of the
best meets in the Northwest prior to the state
tournament. Chris Jones is 18-2 and owns a
win over the defending 148-pound state
champ. M artin is up to 12-1, his only loss
coming at the hands of an Estacada
w restler.
Russell, Jones and M artin should all be in
the district finals if things go well for Sandy,
and all could place on the state level. Topliff
and Quick could also do well, and Rohweder
may find new life at 106. Another hope at
district is Tim Svtsma. who has moved into
the heavyweight position to take over for
Allan F ry, out for the season with an injury
Svtsma has a 15-6 record, but that should get
better when he moves back to 191, his natural
weight.
The best thing about the Pioneers is that,
no m atter how good things are this year, they
should be even better next season
Russell and Quick are seniors, but
everyone else w ill be back. M artin, Jones
and Sytsma are juniors; Rohweder and
Topliff are sophs
A number of other underclassmen are on
the verge of breaking through and being
studs, including Scott Skipper at 178, Paul at
123 and Mo Contreres on the JV team (136).
All are sophomores A few juniors and other
good crop of freshmen should give Sandy its
best team ever next season
But first there’s this year’s district and
state.

Tim Veley added 16 as Funny Farm got by the I »ell Barn

Lisa tier came up with some personal best times Thursday
and helped the Sandy High girls swimming team to an 80-74
d is tric t.”
Although the Sandy boys lost, Smith
was greatly satisfied w ith the effort the
Pioneers turned in. Barlow won 86-60,
but the Pioneers were swimming with
just five boys. A couple of swimmers
left the team and another was dropped
for disciplinary reasons.
But the five boys left put on quite a
show They won a ll nine events they
entered and B arlow ’s only win came in
the 400-freestyle relay, the last event.
Sandy sim ply didn’t have anyone left to
swin. The Pioneers also turned in nine
personal best times. It was depth of the
Bruins that won the meet for them
“ We’ve got some quality kids left and
I ’m very proud of these guys,’’Smith
said. “ They did a heck of a job out
there. They really showed me some
class. Every one of them w ill place in

the top six at district and give us a

Bret Crane, Rick T opliff, H arry
Hazelett and Glenn Izer combined to
win the meet’s opening event, the 200-
medley relay. They were timed in
1:52.29.
Shawn Burns won the 200-freestyle
with a personal best 1:59.77, then came
back to win the 500-freestyle in 5:18.96.
Topliff took the 200-mdividual medley
in 2:18.3 and the 100-butterfly in 1:00.73.
Both marks were personal bests
Izer took the 50-freestyle in a speedy
23.98, and also won the 100-free in a
blazing 51.09. Both of those marks were
personal bests.
Hazelett took the 100-breaststroke in
1:10.98, another best time.
The Pioneers weren’t quite as close to
Lake Oswego last week. The Laker
girls ripped Sandy 102-52 and the boys
claimed a 107-45 win over the Pioneers.
It wasn’t that Sandy had such a bad
meet — quite the contrary — i t ’s simply
that Lake Oswego is a very powerful
team and one of the best in the state.
The Pioneer girls had a dozen per
sonal bests and the boys picked up a few
as well. But wins were a little harder to
come by against the strong leakers
Roth nabbed Sandy’s only victories
for the girls, winning the 50-freestyle in
26.2 and the 100-free in 58.2.
Izer was Sandy’s only winner in the
boys competition, winning the 100-free
in 52.5.
The next meet for the Pioneers w ill be
this Thursday, Jan. 29 against Tigard
and Lakeridge. Tigard is another of the
top teams in the state and Lakeridge is
not far behind. The firs t event w ill
begin at 4 p.m.
Swimmers 55, P&C Construction 45
The Swimmers remained in a first place tie w ith a 3-0
record by topping 1-2 P&( Construction. Randy Holland had
18 points for the Swimmers and Roy Clark had 14. leading
scorer in the game was Ken Purnell, who had 22 for P&<

Sandy jayvees win 62-12
Pioneer grapplers crush rival Estacada 45-10
by MARK FLOYD
The once-tough riva lry
between the wrestlers of
Sandy High and Estacada
has become a little one-sided
And from the looks of things,
it may stay that way for a
while
Sandy ripped Estacada 45-
10 on the Rangers' mat
Thursday , then rubbed it in
the hosts faces as the junior
varsity scored a 62-12 win.
The Pioneers went into the
match as favorites, though
not many people thought that
they would win by 35 points in
the varsity contest But a few
key things happened in the
lower weights and before
Estacada knew it, Sandy was
up 23-0.
For one, Mike Rohweder
moved from 115 to 106 for the
firs t time this year What a
difference a weight makes.
Rohweder was a freshman
sensation for the Pioneers
last year, but he grew a
shade too much. Or, so the
coaches thought. Regard
less, Rohweder found 115 a
bit too heavy for his liking
and decided to cut weight.
Suddenly, the sophomore has
found himself back on top of
his game.
And when Rohweder teams
with 98-pound L a rry Topliff,
Sandy has a very strong
opening duo of sophomores
T o p liff scored a pin over Jeff
Goodrich in 4:42. In a near
carbon copy, Rohweder
pinned R.J. Irvine in 4:24.
Boom. 124) for Sandy.
J u n io r
B ill
Mathews
moved from 106 to 115 and
scored a 20-7 su p e rio r
decision
over
Gregg
Pinkerton. Robert Paul had
it a little easier, he won by
fo rfeit at 123.
Estacada finally got on the
board at 130 when Vince
Taylor scored a 4-1 decision
over Paul Gagner and the
Rangers' hopes must have
flickered as B illy Hash
blanked Carey Larson of
Sandy, 84), at 136 But the
meat of the Sandy lineup was
coming up and Estacada
wouldn't see too many more
pouits
Mike Russell topped Doug
Hunter 10-2 at 141, Dean
Fischer scored a 7-2 win over
Brian Schaffer at 148 anti
Chris Jones manhandled Jeff
Brown, 12-2, at 157. Sandy
increased its lead to 33-7 and
had the match under control.
At 168, there was an upset
of sorts Estacada’s Todd
Stiles scored a 5-4 win over
Sandy's Dan M artin, giving
him his firs t loss of the year
M artin was wrestling in just
his second match since
coming off a shoulder injury
and may have been a little
rusty.
Sandy got the points right
back as sophomore Scott
Skipper scored a 10-4 win
over Gordon Moore at 178
Randy Carmony scored four
points in the final period to
outlast Dale F ra ly 10-9 at 191.
And Tim Sytsma put the
icing on the cake for the
