POST - I l The Sd näy Post Sports and Recreatión Sisters keep volleyball in the family by SCOTT NEWTON Cherie Elliott, a sophomore at the University of Oregon and a member of the SUHS Hall of Fame, can understand why people are curious She's a defensive specialist on the Duck volleyball team Meanwhile, her sister Chris, a junior at Oregon State University, is a hitter “ She’s hitting at me, and I'm try ing to dig up her spikes It makes it kind of interesting, I guess,'" Cherie said About playing against her sister, Chris said, “ I think it's fun. I like it, but I really don't think about it a whole lot when 1 play “ When she’s serving and 1 see her. that's about the only time 1 think about it. “ We know most of the players on the Oregon team I t ’s not like she's the only girl ! know on the team.” Cherie. a 1981 SUHS graduate, and Chris, a 1980 SUHS graduate, played on the Pioneers' state runner-up team together Chris was a second team all-TVL selection, while Cherie ran away with the honors when she was in high school Cherie was all-TVL, all-metro and all-state her senior year Chris, a starter for two-and-a-half seasons for the Beavers, has been on the winning side in the Civil War games “ I used to be better than her,'' Cherie, a two-year starter, said with a laugh Sandy coaches Ron Grantz and Gary Curtis, and Athletic Director Mike Kostrba, have made it to the C ivil War games in C orvallis, something both women seemed to ap preciate “ That was so neat,” Cherie said. “ They came last year, too It was kind of embarrassing Last year they killed us This year it wasn't so bad." Though OSU won in three games tout of five) both times this fall, Chris said they were “ really good games.” The Beavers ended up fourth in the Nor-Pac regional tournament. The Ducks won only three conference games Boys edge Oregon City in basketball opener The Pioneer boys got the basket ball season underway in good fashion with a 47-46 win over Oregon City Tuesday evening. “ Our big question mark was defense, and I was pleased with that." Brisbin said. The Pioneers had a four- to seven- point lead most of the fourth quarter, but a few questionable passes, a missed lay-in and a missed one-and- Romey, Nelson place at Corvallis On Sunday Sam Romey and Donna Nelson competed in The Icebreaker Runs at Avery Park in Corvallis. N elson, co m p e tin g in the 10-kilometer run, placed second in the womens open division. Romey took first in the two- k ilo m e te r (1.25 m ile s ) and 10-kilometer (6.2 miles) runs one opportunity gave Oregon City a chance to tie it up with one second left to play Oregon City's player missed the second half of the two shot foul, however, giving Sandy a 1-6 record. “ We got a little careless (at the end),” Brisbin said, “ but overall, I was really pleased.” Brisbin said Mike Lund, who scored eight points, “ really played a good game. He worked the offense well. “ We controlled the game more than the score indicates.” He said the defense w ill face “ a real test” Friday when Sandy takes on Tigard at home at 7:30 p.m. Tigard has most of its players back from a good team last year. "They're a runnin’ and gunnin' team," Brisbin said. Key Statistic»: Robert Brader 14 points, seven rebounds, seven blocked shots, five fouls, Pat Baird 12 points, nine rebounds, five fouls; Steve Pettingill: nine points and nine rebounds “ We couldn’t quite get it together," Cherie said She played on a young team, with a senior, a sophomore and four fresl.men starting The Beavers lost a "really good" outside power hitter, and Chris figures they could have a good team next year She called the Nor-Pac League one of the top two conferences in the na tion, with the University of the Pacific, Cal-Berkeley and San Jose State the top teams this year Chris said she really liked the traveling, though the 10-hour drives through California were tiring On trips like that one really gets to know one's teammates, she said. Chris, an industrial engineering major, w ill be playing on a United States Volleyball Association team this winter Her coach, Gerry Gregory, in in formation provided by the school, calls Chris the team’s “ best athlete. "Chris has great endurance and a great desire to improve herself She is always putting in extra time to work on the little things. ’’ Cherie said that Chris has taken advantage of, and benefited from, the good coaching offered at OSU. Cherie said she hasn’t been satisfied with the progress she has made, though she said she’s playing better defense Her play at the net isn't as good as she’d like Cherie tried out for the OSU team the summer before her freshman year, but when she didn’t make the cut went to UO. Their father attended OSU. Both are attending school on scholarships Cherie is undecided about a major, though it's computer science “ this week.” Both agree that the level of com petition is what separates high school from college ball. “ We work hard. It ’s great,” Chris said. She said one thing she remembers from her days as a Pioneer was when the seniors taught the freshmen to pass “ I ’ll always remember that,” Chris said, not offering an explaina- tion as to why that was the memory most easily recalled. “ I hardly see anybody from Sandy anym ore," she said. Chris and C herie are fo u rth g e n e ra tio n Redland residents. Chris said they’re “ isolated in the sticks.” Cherie also said she hasn’t kept up on a lot of her friends from Sandy. “ I can’t believe it either," she said. “ I don’t see any of those good friends.” She said she especially misses her former coaches. "They were great,” Chris Elliott OSU photo by M ike Shields SUHS wrestlers win tournament title Coach Ron Calhoun would have lik ed to have given four Outstanding Wrestler awards at the Carey Larson Memorial last week. Not that Chuck Kearney, who received the award voted upon by op posing coaches, didn’t deserve it. It took him only three minutes and 36 seconds to win three matches and take first place in the 191-pound weight division. It ’s just that Calhoun felt Larry Topliff, Hui Choi and Mike Rowheder also turned in "outstanding perfor mances.” Topliff, a 106 pounder, won two matches by fall and the other 23-3 for first place. He felt Rowheder, a 148 pounder who pinned both of his opponents, wrestled “ extremely well.” And Hui Choi, a 123 pounder, avenged an earlier loss by beating "a good wrestler" from Molalla Several wrestlers made "rather large" weight cuts, and still wrestled well, Calhoun said Frank McKinnis, 157-pound weight d ivision cham pion, John Cox, 98-pound weight division champion, Dave Gibson, 141-pound weight divi sion champion, and Choi, were among that group Calhoun was especially pleased with Gibson. “ That's not the best wrestling I ’ve ever seen, but that's the best I ’ve seen Dave Gibson. That’s a real feather in his cap.” Cox got a win over an Estacada wrestler who beat him pretty soundly last year, and was the top seed in the TVL-District Tournament. Robert Paul, the 136-pound weight division champion, won 2-1 over a Molalla wrestler who took fourth in the district meet last year. In the 178-pound weight division, Loren Bateman handily won two matches for the title Sandy won the Carey Larson Memorial, which is named for a former Sandy wrestler who was k ill ed in an automobile accident. The Pioneers had 13-, points. Molalla had 108, Estacada 68 and Reynolds 32. Sandy's dual against Reynold: counted for a Mt. Hood Conference win. David Douglas, the Pioneers next opponent, won the Wilson Invita tional Thursday. Calhoun figures David Douglas to be one of the top four teams in the league, and said that SUHS and DDHS share a lot of similarities. He added, “ If we can beat them we might be in the top four ourselves.” They'll square off tonight at 7:30 p.m. and by 5-2 decision for first 106 Sophomore Tony Barnes won by fall (1:06), was pinned (1:93) and won 11-7 for second 115: Senior L a rry Topliff won by fa ll (2 20). by 23-3 decision and by fall (3:06) for first 123 Junior Hui Choi won by fall (1:40), by 6-0 decision and by forfeit for first 130 Senior Kandy Swanson won by forfeit lost 0-7 and won by forfeit for second 136 Senior Dave Gibson won by fall (3:06), lost 8-1 and won by fall (4:90) for first 141 Senior Robert Paul won by fall (4:90), won 2-1 and won by fall (0 40) for first 148 Senior M ike Rohweder won by forfeit, by fall (1:59) and by fall (2:22) for first 157: Junior Prank McKinnis won by forfeit, by fall (1:53) and by 14-5 decision for first 168 Senior Bob Wantowski lost 8-5. lost 19-18 and was pinned (2 49) for fourth 178 Junior Loren Batem an won by forfeit, won 14-0 and won by fall (2:27) for first 191 Senior Chuck Kearney won by fall <1 30). by fa ll (1 16) and by fall (0 50) for first Was voted Outstanding W restler H V Y Senior Chris Norton was pinned to 35), was pinned <2 41) and was pinned (0 35) for fourth Second varsity Varsity wrestling 98 Senior John Cox won by forfiet, by fall (3 35) Champions w ere Dan King (141), Kearney ( 148) and Chris Davenport ( 17») Brent Girls place fifth at Newberg Boys swim team wins relay meet The Pioneer boys swim team finished fir s t in the six-team Newberg Relay Meet last week The girls finished fifth out of six teams. “ We should be able to hold our own this year,” Coach Mark Smith said about the boys team. "Overall, I was pleased with the good team effort (of both the boys and girls teams),” Smith said "But the season has only begun. We have a lot of work to do to be competitive.” Stroke technique and conditioning w ill be the focus of practices until mid-January The strength of this team is its early commitment, accor ding to Smith. Especially good performances were turned in by Matt Roth in the 100 individual medley and the 200 fly, and by John Haugan and Javier Her- rero. Haugan and Herrero were mov ed from the junior varsity to the var sity due to “ individual improvement and contributions to the team effort ” Debbie Izer and Kim Howell were also advanced to the varsity team for the same reasons Terri Hanson, a freshman who set Magic Mill Flour Grinder & BOSCH KITCHEN MACHINE That K eep O n G iv in g I (corner of Division & Main) 666 -7 1 8 8 The Mt View girls w ill be anchored by senior Sonja Lee, who was ninth in the state in the 50 free and llth in the 100 back.
