T hurt , February I I . I M 2 (Sec I) SANOY (Ore ) POST -7 Sports The Srfnäy Post and Recreation Wrestlers edged by Oregon City, 27-24 Ron Calhoun was both pleased and displeased with the Sandy wrestlers' three-point loss to Oregon City "Oregon City is, to my way of thinking, the second-best dual meet team in the state,” Calhoun said ‘‘ I think by the finish in their own tournament that was proven “ I ’m pleased that we came that close, but I ’m sort of displeased because we had a couple of matches that we were in and didn't get ” The wreslters, after losing to Oregon City in a make-up match in the afternoon, took on Estacada Thursday night The Pioneers won the dual, but Estacada dom inated the lower weights “ Just about everyone's going to score 20 points on us. ' Calhoun said about the 41 20 win He has contended all season that they are not a good dual-meet team Larry Topliff, a 100 pounder, joined the team following a layoff because of a knee injury He won both m at ches by falls Calhoun said that it's good to have him back, and added, “ He’s so happy to be back I think his mental attitude has overcome any physical damage that was done in terms of condition ing " Dan Martin, Sandy’s 160 pounder, won a key match over Mike McCarty of Oregon City Martin and McCarty drew 4-4 as sophomores, and M artin beat him by a point in the district meet last year Martin won 3-2 last week " I think Dan had the match com pletely under control, even though the score was close, ’ Calhoun said H e a v y w e ig h t T im S y ts m a , undefeated going into the Oregon Ci ty match, tied 4-4 with Oregon City's undefeated heavyweight. “ I felt Tim did everything but beat him The score came out 4-4, but Tim has so many almosts Calhoun felt that the small mat at Oregon City had some effect. “ I guess they were kind of used to that, and we weren’t, or something “ A lot of the things that happened, happened out of bounds They were on the edge, borderline calls, and we didn't seem to get any calls our way.” Calhoun was pleased with Kandy Carmony, a 194 pounder. Carmony won 7-0 against a wrestler that was undefeated in league competition “ Randy looked e xc e p tio n a lly good." Calhoun said Against Estacada, Calhoun felt that even though 126 pound senior Bill Mathews lost, that he wrestled as well as anyone on the team He could place at districts wrestl ing like that, Calhoun said The wrestlers w ill take on Silverton tonight, with the district tournament the weekend after next forfeit. 171 Kearney pinned Price. 1st I 34 181 VIcKinms pinned Kay 2nd 3 10 194 Carmony pinned Koper 3rd 3 33 HW T Sytsm a pinned Potter 1st I 57 .*nd varsity 32.

The second-, third- and fourth- place teams play it off But, had San dy lost twice to Sweet Home, that would have eliminated them Smith said that both teams played well, with the Pioneers taking advan tage of good defensive re fu n d in g and “ crisp” outlet passes. Against Estacada, a 54-38 win last Thursday, Smith said they were at times inconsistent, a problem he’s said they’ve had all season. Against Sweet Home, “ We played well from front to end ” Dawn New was a key factor, scor ing 25 points and grabbing 20 re bounds Cindy toctoy grabbed >4 re fu n d s All together they had 44 boards, eight abo*. e the average. Ami Aschoff nabbed five rebounds Sharon Jensen hit six of nine for 12 points, and Linda Mosbrucker had six points and three assists, but it was on defense that Smith felt they did the job. He said they moved well and forced a lot ot outside shots Smith said that Peggy Gillies, Becky Rodrigues and Kellie Garlock played well in substitute roles " I t was a good team win,” he said About the game last week, Smith said, “ You could tell Estacada was there to play." The Rangers got off to a 9-3 start, but Sandy had gained a 28-23 lead by halftime. Smith said that there were three key factors in that game There was good defense, led by Jensen with five steals (she now has a total of 66 for the season), good rebounding ( “ Cin dy and Dawn did an exceptional job there” ) and balanced scoring New scored 19, while Mosbrucker contributed 17 and McCoy. 10 Mosbrucker was seven of 11 second half, and Smith said it helps a lot when she has a good game as it draws the defense out.« The girls w ill host Oregon City tonight, Silverton Tuesday and then w ill play a final league game at Can by The Silverton game w ill be an especially im portant one, Smith pointed out. About Oregon City, Smith said, “ They’re ranked 10th, and I kind of think they’re better than that “ They’ve improved vastly since preseason. The thing that’s holding them back in the rankings is that they lost three of six preseason games All three loses were to ranked teams."

Photo by Scoli Newton Senior season going well for Dawn New, Cindy McCoy by SCOTT NEWTON Dawn New knows about the ear ly years of Sandy Union High School girls basketball. As a starter by the end of her freshman year, she goes back almost to the beginning of when the program began here. Last year, when Lynn Harris's freshman team had a winning season, it was the first time in four seasons fo r a ll three teams (freshman, junior varsity and var sity). This year, all three teams could have winning records. As for the varsity, the girls have won four of their last five games, keeping the hopes of a playoff berth alive I t ’s not a cinch, by any means They have three games left, in cluding state-ranked Oregon City, and Silverton, the T V L’s third- place team. They’ll play both games here, hosting the Pioneers tonight and the Foxes Tuesday. Currently the girls are in fourth place in the TVL, and at the end of the regular season the second-, third- and fourth-place teams play for the second TVL state berth Qualifying would be a fitting finale for New. The 6-foot Sandy senior has a chance at earning first team honors in three sports this ye a r A fir s t team a ll-T V L volleyball player. New was second team all-league in basketball last year and has received second team honors for the past two years in softball as a first baseman She's broken the school scoring record about a half dozen times the last two years, with 32 points being her top tally. She’s the fourth-leading scorer in the TVL with a 19 point-per-game average. Besides hitting over 50 percent from the field, New is probably the league leader in blocked shots, with 107 in 17 games Second year head coach John Smith once said that trying to score against New is like working a d rill with a Toss-back (net). Another veteran in the Sandy program in Cindy McCoy The 5-10 senior has had to work her way through the ranks, finally earning a starting position midway through the season last year Rebounding is her forte, and she's grabbed 177 so far. She's starting to score in double figures, and has contributed 29 assists, 28 steals and 30 blocked shots so fa r this season “ They played a lot together last summer, and the year before, and this year it's starting to pay o ff," Smith said about the girls, who are the foundation of his double-post offense. He said that they look for each other, and have developed a court sense. “ When they’re moving, when they’re playing well together, they're tough to stop," Smith said Knowing New’s propensity for scoring, teams w ill often try to double team, or run a box-one defense, against her "They haven’t been real effec tive with that because Cindy's been able to pick up a lot of the slack," Smith said. "She’s been scoring for us lately.” He said that McCoy's game at Estacada was at its best. A n o th e r s e n io r is B ecky Rodrigues, a guard. Smith said, “ I t ’s been tough on her at times. She probably doesn’t get the playing time she would like. “ But her attitude has been good and she's worked hard.” “ She was very aggressive with the ball and had tremendous an ticipation on the boards If she can keep up that intensity, and play the rest of the season like that, she’s got a real good chance of getting some all-league honors,” Smith said. Monday night McCoy scored nine points and grabbed 14 re bounds, while New took 20 off the boards and scored 25. About the team’s recent success, Smith said, “ We’ve had some tough practices. They’ve worked hard and I think i t ’s paying off for them ." He a ttr ib u te s those good workouts, in part, to the attitudes of New and McCoy. Asked how her season is going. New said, “ I think I could be doing better, a lot better, “ B u t, I ’ ve a c c o m p lis h e d something I hadn’t accomplished before, and th a t’s a b e tte r attitude.” Although New has an interest in art and calligraphy, she admits she wants to be a college jock All that's left is to decide which school and which sport. McCoy is interested in hor ticulture, and wants to play college basketball. About the team, McCoy said, “ I think we're improving I think right now we’re working really well as a team. “ We’re getting a lot closer and our communication is better.” Other seniors out include Shelly Petrie, a first year player with a lot of enthusiasm, according to Smith “ She’s been a very, very impor tant part of the team this year,” he said.
