Volleyball team
drops Columbia
The Sandy volleyball team won a
"serving contest" against Columbia
Tuesday night, and won handily last
week over Parkrose.
The 15-9, 15-« win over Columbia
was a "funny game," said Coach Ron
Grantz.
The points seemed to come in
streaks, with a minimum of play.
Sandy's streaks were longer, and
better timed, with senior Paige
D aug h erty serving seven con
secutive points, and junior Jill In
gram five, in the first game,
In the second game senior Linda
M o s b ru c k e r served up seven
straight.
Mosbrucker also set well, Grantz
said, and Daugherty, junior Denise
Proctor and junior Tamee Lindsay

ty
Several players have been out of
action for various reasons, but
ag ain st C o lum bia G ra n tz had
everyone back but junior Cindy
Rasmussen, who is still suffering
from shin splints.
The starters were Mosbrucker,
Daugherty, Lindsay, Ingram, Proc
tor and senior Lorrie Shelton.
Grantz said he's not sure how good
of a team Columbia has.
The Pioneers downed Parkrose in
an away game Thursday Daugherty
and Proctor were credited with doing
a good job of hitting the ball to the
floor
Grantz termed the 15-1, 15-6 win a
"confidence builder."
He said, "We gained confidence,
which allowed us to play aggressive
ly."
Tuesday the Pioneers play at
Reynolds High School, and Thursday
they’ll be at home against Gresham
at about 7 p m.
Grantz considers Gresham one of
the top teams in the new Mt. Hood
Conference.
The Pioneers have a 2-1 record.

Pioneers fall by one
to Marshall in soccer
The Sandy Pioneers fell 3-2 to M a r
shall Tuesday, and played "as ex
pected” last week in a soccer ja m
boree at Estacada
Sophomore Jason Kern scored the
first goal for Sandy on an assist from
junior Hui Choi about 30 minutes into
the first half.
Senior Kevin Fabryski, a defensive
player, made "a run from the back,"
scoring the second Pioneer goal
about five minutes after the first.
Marshall scored first in the game,
played at Sandy, putting one in about
midway through the first half They
scored again in the first minute of the
second half, and again midway
through the second half.
The first and last five minutes of
each half seem to be critical times
for the Pioneers, Coach Lon Welsh
said. At the soccer jamboree they
also had "the first-five minute jit
ters "
Marshall was 9-1-1 in the P IL last
year. Welsh said the Marshall coach
told him they lost some starters, but
that he still feels they have a good
team
As for the Pioneers, Welsh was
pleased with the play at midfield
There was "no question" that the
Pioneers dominated.
One problem, according to Welsh,
is that they're not used to controling
the midfield The defenders, moving
up, have been hitting "cannon

If the Sandy Union High School
"B " ballot of $404,040 is voted down
Tuesday, the Sandy Elem entary
District will be affected, though the
public has already approved its
budget.
On the "B " ballot is a $32,440 swim
ming pool fund. Part of that money
goes to coaches, and for instruction,
but the elementary district would
still lose about $26,000, according to
Clark Lund, superintendent of the
elementary district.
The loss of those funds "does pose
some real possible problems for us,"
Lund said.
"At this point we don't know how
we’ll recoup," Lund said. "The facili
ty as it is will obviously have to be
maintained on a continuing basis."
Lund said some expenses are fixed,
like lighting and heating.
One option could be a reduced
staff, or employees, like lifeguards,
working fewer hours.
Another option includes opening up
the pool to the public more. About
half the operating fund for the pool is
generated through the summer swim
instruction program, or $55,000 to
$60,000 a year.
It cost a little over $120,000 to
operate the pool last year, according
to Lund.
Considering the use it gets, he said
it’s "a good buy for the dollar spent."
Another option would be to share
the pool with neighboring school
districts, which is something Lund is
tooking into.
Currently Bull Run and Cottrell use
the pool in the spring for a short
period of tim e, but the funds
generated "are quite sm all."
The Marshall goalie would then get
the ball and kick it out before Sandy
could get a shot Welsh said they’ll be
working on their "target problem "
He said the teams were evenly
matched, and that it was a good,
competitive game.
Sophomore Brian Stamm and
senior Pete Schmautz "both impress
ed me" with their play as mid
fielders, Welsh said.
Fabryski, an all-league defender
last season, "played a good game,
the best of anybody."
Welsh said they're doing a lot of
things right What’s important is for
the front line to start "thinking in
stead of playing by instinct."
Said Welsh, "We had a lot of oppor
tunities to score, but we just didn't
put the ball in the hole."
Last week Sandy tied Molalla 1-1 at
the soccer jamboree, with junior Tim
Pullen scoring the goal Pullen was
an all league forward last season

played, instead of the regular
40-minute ones All 20 players on the
Sandy ro ster play during the
120-minute-long jamboree.
Estacada played its junior varsity
against Molalla, and then sent the
varsity out after a "tired” Sandy
team " It was a sneaky move on their
part," Welsh said. " I'm glad we’re a
strong enough team that they feel
they have to do that to us."
Overall, he was pleased with their
play. They applied good offensive
pressure, according to Welsh.
"T h a t’s what I had hoped we'd do."
About senior E arl Pierson, Welsh
said, "It's pleasant to see he hasn't
lost his skills, that he's playing with a
high level of expertise "
Welsh said he doesn't think the
players were discouraged by the one-
point loss to Marshall "The kids are
positive," he said. "W e're Just begin
ning the season."
Lund said the pool is just one area
where they’ll be watching their
dollars. Less basic school support
and an anticipated drop in timber
revenues compound the possible pro
blems that could be caused by the
loss of SUHS's pool fund
"We are really going to tighten our
belts in all programs, not just swim
ming," said Lund.
Mark Smith, the SUHS swim coach
since 1974, feels it is a "shame"
water polo has been cut. He’s also
concerned about the instruction pro
vided SUHS students, and, of course,
the swim team.
He disagrees with those who claim
SUHS’s instruction, through physical
education classes, duplicate the
elementary district’s efforts.
He is sure the survival skills of
those who have gone through the pro
grams is greater than in the past.
Under Smith SUHS swim teams
won the Coast Valley league from
1974 to 1979 He has a 135-44-2 varsity
record.
But it is the youngsters, he said,
who have made Sandy a successful
swim town. “ I t ’s the kids who’ve
been swimming the lengths," he
said.
"To me, coaches are there to push
athletes past what they would nor
m ally do."
Six seniors are expected to return
to the team if the "B " ballot passes.
They include Lisa Izer, Donna
Nelson, Heidi Lam ar, Shawn Burns,
Darrin Britton and M ark Gunderson
Not only have these swimmers
worked for three years of high
school, Smith said, but many were
also Blue Marlins, and thus have
been swimming for years
Smith pointed out that a number of
former SUHS swimmers have been
awarded scholarships, and some
have also taken advantage of work-
study programs offered at colleges,
which have been awarded because of
experience they gained at the Sandy
Aquatic Center.
Smith said he is concerned about
more than the swimming program.
He said he supports education, and
urges people to vote for both the " A ”
and "B " ballots.
Girls soccer
under way
The Sandy girls soccer team lost
5-0 Tuesday, but don’t tell Robert
Karsten.
" I feel real positive about it," said
Karsten, obviously in a good mood
"We played a good game.
"The girls kept the ball on their
half almost three-quarters of the
game "
Though Sandy couldn’t get the ball
in the net against Franklin, he feels
they played a good team a com
petitive game
About 27 turned out for the first
season of girls soccer at Sandy " It
was interesting to me to see all the
talented people show up on one field.
It was a real nice surprise." Karsten
said
