Base running, defense key to win
Good base running and solid
defense were the keys to a Timber
Valley League win Tuesday for the
Sandy girls softball team
“ I thought it was our best game as
far as base running.” Coach Gary
Curtis said after the 14-4 win at
Molalla
The Pioneers’ steals, and all round
base ru n n in g , c o n trib u te d to
M olalla’s six errors. Curtis said
Junior Patty Gray takes the win
She struck out six and walked five
“ 1 though she threw a very good
game.” Curtis said She got the game
started right, striking the first batter
out
Besides doing the job on the
mound, Curtis said she also did a
good job in the field, handling a cou
pie of “ hot ones.”
Curtis said, "She's an excellent
fielding pitcher ”
The Pioneers had only one error, a
low throw to first base
“ We were in the game mentally,”
Curtis said “ I think the girls were
pleased (to have played so w ell).”
Sophomore J ill Ingram took over
at third for sophomore Mauren “ Mo”
Beckett, who has a broken, or at least
cracked, finger
Senior Shelley Petrie did a good job
in left field, Curtis added.
And, senior Dawn New added some
fire “ She’s talking out there and
keeping the girls in the game.” Cur
tis said “ She’s a real leader She’s
getting the girls to think about what
they're going to do with the ball."
Batting’s an area they'll work on,
Curtis said, although he wasn't
displeased with the effort Tuesday.
Senior Allison Carpenter hit a
“ very nice” double, and Petrie,
freshman Wendy Heckard and senior
First Sandy Invitational

Eleven teams w ill be attending the
first Sandy Invitational track meet

“ I really feel in a year or two this
w ill be one of the premier track
meets in the state,” said Mike
Kostrba, SL’HS athletic director
“ I think it ’s going to be a classic,”
Randy Hutchinson, track coach,
said, adding that he's wanted the
school to host a track meet for
several years
Plans are for the Invitational to
become an annual event
Twenty-six teams have indicated
that they'll attend a year from now.

vited to participate.

Pioneer girls handily win TVL relays
Some good performances were
turned in at the Timber Valley
Leagut
elays Saturday, but one
point was made time and again by
Coach Randy Hutchinson.
“ We re going to get better,” he
said.
Being a relay meet, one bad perfor
mance in an event affected the finish
of that group, as well as the rest of
the team.
Hutchinson feels that this group is
particularly team-oriented, and that
pleases him.
The girls handily won the meet,
scoring 87 points. West Linn was se
cond with 54.
The boys firished third, scoring 78
points. Oregon City won it with 118.
West Linn was second with 84.
Three high jumpers, Bob Nippert,
Doug Baucom and Hank Grenier, set
a school relay record with a combin
ed 17-10.
Nippert jumped 6-2, and Baucom
and Grenier went 5-10.
Grenier's 5-10 jump was a personal
record. “ That’s just fantastic,” Hut
chinson said “ I think that's just
great, a freshman coming out and do
ing that.”
The girls high jump team, compris
ed of Shelby Dries, Gayle Roth and
Shauny Thoreson, also set a school
relay record with a combined 14-8.
They finished in a tie for thhird.
Dries matched her personal record
with a five-foot jump Roth and
Thoreson went 4-10.
Sharon Jensen, Lorrie Shelton and
Crystal Calkins comprised a team
that set a school relay long jump
record. All jumped in the 15-foot
range, with the potential to do better.
Shelton performed with an injured
wrist.
The distance medley team, com
prised of Jensen, Polly Kelly, Darby
Binder and Donna Nelson, set a
school relay record with a time of
13:24 2.
Hutchinson loaded up the distance
medley team, expecting to win, and
was pleased that they did the job.
Still, he added, there’s room for im
provement.
He said that Kelly “ performed
very w ell.” She turned in two
61-second quarters Saturday.
The boys distance medley team
was also loaded, and they didn’t
disappoint Hutchinson either. Sam
Romey anchored the team, turning in
a 4:31.2 mile For a sophomore in
high school, that's excellent, Hut
chinson said.
He added, “ We talxed about this at
the end of the race—I don’t think he
ran as fast as he’s capable of.
“ He just continues to amaze us.
I ’m real proud of him .”
Romey started his leg with a small
lead, competing in that final mile
with some of the best distance run
ners in the league. Russell Fork
turned in a 53.82 quarter, and Steve
Metelak turned in a 2:01.9 half, to
help give him that lead. Phil Burk
ran the first leg, three-quarters of a
mile, on that team
They won with a time of 10:59.7,
over four seconds ahead of the
second place team
One factor that affected the boys
was the absence of Brian Prosser,
who missed some school last week
with the fiu.
Also, Scott Skipper is competing
with a bruised knee
With an injury like Skipper’s, most
athletes would be gone for the
season, Hutchinson said He said he
wouldn’t be surprised if Skipper is
back full-strength in a month
Skipper w ill not be able to compete
in running events for some time.
He did compete on the shot put
team, along with Dale Rasmussen
and Roland Aumueller They finished
first.
The discus team, comprised of
Skipper, Mike Marleau and Locke
Christman, finished second.
The javelin team, comprised of

Steve Brader, B ill Bowman, Tim
Pullen and Russell Fork comprised
the shuttle hurdles team.

Oregon City tennis teams zipped
both the Sandy boys and girls in ac
tion Thursday
Terry Chung, coach of the boys
team, said that they were just out
matched by Oregon City's veteran
squad, a TVL-favorite
Jeannie Rossos, the girls coach,
said that this was not the case with
them. She felt the douhles teams
could have been competitive, but
they just didn't have a good day
She felt the singles players. Becky
Clift, Mindy Congdon and Heidi
Lamer, did a good job They are from
the lower part of the Sandy ladder,
however, and were matched up
against some of Oregon City's better
players
Denise Shokey was the only
doubles player that performed well.
Rossos said
Chung said that Eric Jones and
Eric Frost, the number two doubles
team, and Tim E lliot and David
Bender, the number three douhles
team, played well
