Thuf* The Sirfndy Post October 22 1981 ¡S « I) SANOY (O re.) POST— 7 Sports and Recreation In home game with Silverton Offense key to Pioneer w in The offense came through Friday night to secure a Sandy victory with a touchdown in the last 16 seconds of the game against Silverton The 32-20 score doesn’t really tell how close the game was The Foxes, aided by a penalty, scored w ith 3 17 left in the game on a one yard run by Silverton senior Scott Long Long completed a pass to junior Jeff Brockamp for the two points, getting the score to 26 20 But the Pioneer offense got fired up, having been a little upset about the penalty that allowed Silverton to score "We decided the best way to get them back was to score one more tim e," senior Dan Martin said It was obvious that something was go ing on out there, as the Pioneers dominated the last three minutes After taking the ball near the 40-yard line after the on side kick that followed Silverton's touchdown, the Pioneers at first seemed content to be running out Pioneer harriers set records .Iunior Stu Hoffman finds open spaces for the Pioneers. Sweet Home victory dampered by team’s loss to Silverton The SUHS volleyball team got itself in good position for district playoffs with a win over Sweet Home a week ago, but their hopes were dampered somewhat by a 15-10, 7-15 and 4-15 loss to Silverton Tuesday night The win at Sweet Home gave them a 6-3 record and a good shot at third place in the league, and a playoff spot. Needless to say, Coach Hon Grantz’s spirits were low Wednesday morning When he talked to The Post about Pioneer Husky game, he had reason to be optimistic. Sweet Home had an 8-0 league record going into the Sandy game, and hadn’t lost a home game in two years. The team that beat them at home two seasons ago, by the way, also happened to be Sandy. "We played real w ell," Coach Hon Grantz said about the 15-7, 9-15 and 15-10 win “ It’s been so tough We’ve had so many different line-up changes because of discipline problems and in juries and everything.” They had things worked out at Sweet Home The seniors played especially well, Grantz said. "Dawn (New) had 19 kills, which means she either hit it or tipped it to the floor 19 times,” he said Julie Coleman had 13 kills Grantz was also pleased with Paige Daugher ty ’s passing She is credited with 13 good passes, which is tough against a team that serves as well as Sweet Home, Grantz pointed out Grantz, when asked, said that the team is not coming along like he’d like for them to. "E very year that we have done well, it’s been something that we started at ground zero and worked our way up This year we’ve started at ground zero about four times." He said that they’re going to have to improve a lot more in a shorter period of time than they have in the past if they’re going to be competitive against district competition Junior varsity football team rolls past Silverton Foxes 20-0 The junior varsity football team, with a 2-5 record, play Molalla tonight at 5 p m at Pop Hannow Stadium It is their next-to last game Last week they got a 20-0 win over Silverton "Super defensive play" was a major factor, according to Ix?n Eaton, who is assisted by Dan Brisbin Silverton had minus yards rushing, and only completed two passes for yar dage. Eaton said Quarterback Troy Wolf connected with Steve Pettingill, a tight end. on a 35 yarder for the first score Pettingill caught a 15-yard pass for the Pioneers second touchdown, with Pettingill drag ging tacklers to the end zone "Super determination and effort" got the 6 3 sophomore in for the score. Eaton said The final touchdown came in the fourth quarter, with tailback Dan King running the ball 3« yards Fullback Loren Bateman was credited with do ing a good job of blocking on that play. All in all. King carried the ball five times for 78 yards Starting tailback Ryan Coombs car ried 12 times for 96 yards Wolf passed for 150 yards "A fun game for us as everyone was able to contribute and we executed very w ell." Eaton said Frank McKinms had eight unassisted tackles Linebacker Joe Betchart and defensive tackle Wally Nicholson also played well, according to Eaton. Two weeks ago Sandy fell to Oregon City, 27 2 Eaton said they played better than the score indicates They fumbled three times within four minutes, all of them inside their own 35-yard line with Oregon City capitalizing each time The game was played in the rain and the mud The week before that they had an "excellent" running and passing at tack, and played "super" defense, to down Estacada 28 0 Other junior varsity scores David Douglas 22.

Canby 16, Sandy 14 Things just couldn't be going much better for the SUHS cross country teams The girls, without injured Donna Nelson, came through in the league showdown Tuesday, and have most likely secured the Timber Valley League roving trophy West Linn. Sweet Home and the Pioneers were all undefeated going into the triangular (against league competi tion», but Coach Scott McMullen was concerned about a few problems they've been having, including Nelson's injured foot. Sophomore Sharon Jensen, however, came through for the Pioneers, setting a school record on the 3,050 meter course with an 11:23 timing While Jensen knocked 37 seconds off her best time on Sandy’s course, Darby Binder, a senior, went from a 12:01 her last time at home to 11 36 Tuesday " I t was just remarkable." McMullen said, obviously pleased Jensen and Binder finished second and third respectively, with West Linn's Kathy Nichols taking first with a time of 11 ()9 Now McMullen figures Nichols could lx* the fastest prep female runner in Oregon, w hich says a lot for Jensen and Binder In all the excitement over the girls, one has to be careful not to overlook sophomore Sam Homey’s accomplish ment. He finished first on the 4,700 meter course in a time of 15:29 He already held the school record for the fastest time on Sandy’s course, but Tuesday he took the course record (it was incorrectly reported last week that he had beaten Fred Sprout’s time of 15:47». That Homey took the course record by a lm ost 20 seconds pleased McMullen, but there were others that also did well Phil Burks knocked 43 seconds off his previous best time on the Sandy course, finishing fourth in 16:10. "He really helped us," said McMullen I he boys lost to West Linn but downed Sweet Home If all that wasn’t enough, consider this: Freshman Andy Homey is turning in better times than Sam. his brother, was last year Sand) girls results Jensen 2nd.
