Angels get revenge at state tourney
Charlie’s Angels finished 13th in
the 24-team Oregon State Girls ” B"
Fastpitch Softball Tournament.
The Sandy Blues also competed,
but were eliminated third round by
the Angels.
OK Auto Parts of Cornelius took
first place
Coach Charlie Leathers, whose
Angels lost 13-1 to First National
Bank of Canby in the fourth round,
said he doesn't know how the 13th
place finish was figured, but that’s
where he was told they placed
He felt the “girls did an excellent
job,” not only in the tournament, but
for the season.
First round they dropped a 6-5 deci­
sion to McCollum Logging of Sweet
Home Second round they blasted the
Meadow Park Pirates of Portland
24-4 Third round they beat the Blues
for the first time this season, 12-6
Leathers said he had a feeling go­
ing into the game with the Blues that
they were going to win This was the
third time for the two teams to meet.
“The girls fiqured they were going
to win it, and that’s how they played
it. They played it to win,” Leathers
said
The Angels got a three-run lead
“ right off the bat,” and kept the lead
throughout.
“They stayed out there in the heat
and gave it their best shot,” Leathers
said “ We had to work for it. It was
tough but they were determined.”
In the fourth game the Angels were
just too tired," and they weren't
able to hit Canby’s "fast, really
good" pitcher.
But that’s okay. Said Leathers, “ I
was proud of them. I was real happy.
All I expect out of a player is 100 per­
cent and that’s exactly what they
gave me.”
Playing for the Angels in the state
tournament were Jeanette Wan-
towski, Staci Leathers, Michelle
Waters, Melissa Waters, Sheila
Smith, Michelle H artm an, Gina
Vaeretti, Chris Muff, Jodi Dahlager

natural way
His problems began at the North

Discus champ
from Cottrell
Wendy Coleman, 13, who recently
won the discus throw in the Regional
Junior Olympics, will be an eighth
grader at Cottrell Grade School, not
O r bet t, as was reported in The Post.
doctors took out a third of the car­
tilage in his knee
Topliff laughes now at the thought
that he was supposed to be able to
wrestle perhaps 10 days after the
surgery,
It took him a month to get over the
more than four-hour surgery, and
even then he still had suspicions that
things weren’t quite right.
Topliff, who had finished third in
the state as a sophomore 98 pounder,
had taken first in AAU state freestyle
competition, first in (seven-state)
zone competition, and second in the
national meet in Lincoln, Neb,
This spring Topliff missed all the
AAU competition, but at least felt
well enough to participate in an
Athletes in Action camp near Eugene
last month.
Topliff was wrestling in practice,
and stopped when his opponent hurt
his thumb. At that time he discovered
a lump on his knee about a quai ter to
a half an inch in diameter.
The trainer called it a “joint
mouse ’’ Topliff got back from camp
the next day and set up an appoint­
ment with his doctor “ real quick.”
On July 14 he went in for surgery
again, but this time it took only an
hour A bone chip was removed It is
thought that the bone was cracked
when he originally injured his knee,
but that it just took awhile for the
chip to break loose,
" I don’t think I ’ll have any more
trouble with it,” Topliff said last
week, He’ll be running and lifting
weights to get the strength back, but
added that he's not going to do any
wrestling until the season gets under­
way.
He feels the doctors who treated
him did a good job It just took time
for the injury to run its course
Fam ily health insurance paid for
moat of the expenses incurred
because of the injury.
