That boosted their record to 5-0. The boys are 4-1 in dual meet competition Steve Pettingill set a sophomore record in the discus, winning the event with a toss of 136 8 PettingiU's school (and personal) record was just one of a number of things that went right for Sandy Coach Randy Hutchinson had figured it would be close On paper it looked like Sandy would win 74-72 “ We were as competitive as we’ve been all season,” Hutchinson said “ The boys did real w ell.” The 400-meter relay team, com prised of Ryan Coombs, Tyson Cum mings. Steve Metelak and Scott Skip per, went under tie 46-second mark for the first time this season. Phil Burks set a personal record in the 1500, finishing third with a 4:28.2. Rod Edwards took first in the pole vault, setting a personal record with an U-foot jump The Pioneers swept the 400-meter dash “ I was real happy to see that,” Hutchinson said. “ They rose to the occasion.” Russell Fork set a personal record Photo by Scott Newton Craig, left, and Clark Watts, twin brothers, turn it on in the 800 for the Pioneers. Being on the mound during the Sandy-Sweet Home game must have been something like being in a war zone When the dust settled the visiting Sweet Home Huskies ended up with a 16-13 win in eight innings “ They’re the best-hitting team we've come up against,” Coach Gary Curtis said Also, the girls didn't have a good day in the field “ We missed some easy ones,” Curtis said. The Pioneers had 11 errors “ That’s the story of the ball game, right there,” Curtis said. Sweet Home players committed eight errors In the seventh inning Sandy tied it up, and had the winning run on third. Anne Sarich got a hit, but it bounced up and hit her while she was in fa ir te rrito ry (on her way to firs t), resulting in the third out. "The breaks went against us tonight,” Curtis said after the game. Some good things happened Right Fielder Kim Pearson threw two people out at first. The Pioneers are 6-3 in league play, and have assured themselves a playoff spot (w ithin the league) for the second league state berth. Sweet Home got its record to 5-4. Oregon City is firs t in the league and Canby is second. SHHS SUHS 0 44— 4 1 1—3 7— 18 » 8 442—4 4 0 —3 4 — 13 1011 Gray leads the way in win over Estacada Estacada got a quick unearned run in the first inning, and that was it The Pioneer girls began blasting away in the third, and ended up with a 6-1 win Thursday at Estacada Senior Patty Gray struck out seven, gave up no earned runs, and didn't walk a batter Offensively, she was good for three singles. Senior J ill Dahlager, junior Kim Pearson, senior Cindi Coleman and senior Allison Carpenter also hit singles. The Pioneers had two errors, both of them on plays where the fielder had to be aggressive Coach Gary Curtis said that he can live with those kinds of errors. Shortstop Anne Sarich had two put- outs and two assists, and F irst Baseman Dawn New had six put- outs. Pearson was credited with two “ nice” catches in right field. Curtis said he’s pleased with how the season's going They’re in the league playoffs for a state berth for sure, a firs t for the softball program. Metelak got his second personal record of the day in the 200, finishing second with a time of 24.2. Cummings also set a personal record in the 200, finishing third with a time of 24 2. Roland Aumueller set a personal record in the shot, finishing third with a toss of 45-3. Skipper won the event with Dale Rasmussen taking second Richard Doering set a personal record in the javelin throw, finishing second with a toss of 177-6 Skipper won with a throw of 199-11. Sam Romey set a personal record in the 800, winning with a time of 2:03.6. Clark Watts made it a 1-3 finish, taking third Hutchinson had figured on a second place finish for B ill Bowman in the 300 intermediate hurdles. Bowman won the event, however, setting a personal record with a time of 44.3. “ A ndy (R o m e y ) s u rp ris e d everybody, including Andy, 1 think,” H u tc h in s o n sa id about the freshman's PR in the 3000, which was good for second He ran the course in 9:42.7, About all those personal records, Hutchinson said, “ I don't know if we can ask any more than that. They responded real w e ll." The girls set their share of personal records Thursday Chris Muff moved up to fifth on the all-tim e best list for the freshman in the shot put She finished third with a toss of 30-5. Lorrie Shelton and Caryn Fuller set personal records with a 1-3 finish in the 100-meter hurdles Shelton turned in an 18.3 while Fuller ran an 18 8. Polly Kelly won the 800 with a PR of 2:27 5.

The homer helped the Pioneers get back on the winning track. They downed Molalla 5-2 in an away game Tuesday. Coach Curtis Heath contended earlier in the week that they are a better ball club than their 2-8 record indicated. Going into last week's games, for example, several Sandy players had respectible batting averages. Mike Lund was hitting .412 (and had 9 RBIs). Contreras was 388 (with eight RBIs). Mitch Paola was batting .317, Chris Bennett .310, Stu Hoffman .255 and Troy Wolf .265 Sandy’s players, also, have made their share of outstanding plays. Against West Linn, for example, Con treras caught the ball with the tip of his glove after making a dive at a pop fly. He then jumped up and threw a man out at second. They lost 2-0 to West Linn, with p it ching ace Mitch Williams on the mound. The Lions have pretty much wrapped up the TVL title Williams threw a no hitter, striking out 10 but walking nine. B e n n e tt, a so p h o m o re , was credited for doing “ a fine job” on the mound. Paola was credited with doing some nice glove work In recent action the Pioneers fell to Sweet Home 12-0, and then dropped a heart-breaker, 5-4, again to the Huskies. Heath said they played the poorest mentally that they ever have in that 12-0 loss. Contreras contributed two singles, Lund a double and a single, and Hoffman a single, but the hits were too spread out to do any Golfers keep playoff hopes alive The Sandy golf team has kept its chances for a berth in the state tour nament alive with recent league vic tories. Molalla has pretty much cinched the TVL title, with Oregon City, Can by, Estacada and Sandy still battling it out. The D istrict meet Monday and Tuesday at McNary golf course north of Salem w ill be the key if the Pioneers win against Estacada this afternoon. Should the Pioneers win, Coach Richard Kennedy said it w ill most likely be between Sandy and Oregon City at the district meet. Sandy and Oregon City are 1-1 in dual competition. Sandy got a dual-meet victory Tuesday at Silverton with freshman Kevin Beaudoin shooting a three- over 39. Sophomore Arnie Wolfe shot a 46 to help get Sandy’s junior varsity past Sweet Home. Monday at the Tigard Invitational Sandy finished sixth out of nine teams. Gresham won the meet with a 329 Oregon City was second with 329 while Molalla was third with 332. Sandy had a combined 361, with Beaudoin shooting a 10-over 81. Senior Rick Lambert shot an 84 Sandy and West Linn agreed to count the tournament scores (first nine) for a dual meet, with the Pioneers winning 182-187. Saturday the Sandy golfers took se cond in a nine-team tournament, the Gladstone Invitational, with Beau doin taking medalist honors He won the tournament with an even-par 72. Sophomore Rich Castile was third with a 74 and Lambert was seventh with a 77. Friday Sandy lost to Molalla for the second time this season, 161-166 The Pioneers also lost by five strokes the first time they played Molalla. Beaudoin shot an even-par 37, while Lambert and Castile shot 41s. He said a good team attitude is responsible for much of their suc cess He said that the rest of the schedule w ill be tough SUHS EHS 0 0 2 —0 1 4 — 1—05 2 1 0 8 - 0 0 0 - 0 — 1 45 3 from SUHS to compete at state Special Olympics Three Sandy Union High School students will be competing in the Special Olympic state meet in Eugene this weekend.

Randy Martin safely reaches first tor Sandy during a game with Oregon City Friday. damage. The 5-4 loss was at least a better ef fort. “We went out and attacked the ball, got some runs early,” Heath said. Sandy had 10 hits, and hit the ball “ with some force.” In the first inning Contreras scored Powell with a ground-rule double, and Randy Martin drove in Con treras with a single. Bennett got on in the second inning with a ground rule double, and Dave Kirkland scored him with a single. Kirkland scored on a single by Wolf “ We opened the door for them with several errors that should have never been,” Heath said about the fifth inn ing, in which the Huskies tied the game 4-4. Sweet Home took the lead in the sixth, but Powell challenged them in the seventh. He hit a “ nice” double, and got thrown out trying to make it to third. “ It was a hero or bum situation,” Heath said. “ The kid was hustling, so what can you say? There’s not a lot of blame there.” Against Oregon City Friday Sandy played even with the visitors for four innings. Ken Schnell's grand slam homer was more or less the icing for Oregon City. Bennett gets credit for the win Tuesday. The Pioneers are 3-8. " I don’t think the kids have given up,” Heath said the day before the Molalla win. He was right. And, he was also right when he said a couple more wins would help heal the wounds.
