The teams are formed of players Youth, wild m ix in A WF The American Wilderness Founda tio n 's 17th sum m er of m ixin g wilderness and youth includes a variety of offerings for young people ranging from backpacking and canoeing to bicycling trips Minimum age for the backpacking trips is I t and the minimum age for canoe and bicycling trips is 14 An earlier story in The Post incorrectly stated the ages The first backpacking trip, from June 22 to June 28, is the Mt Hood Snow Trek. The trek consists of a loop around the mountain starting and ending at Timberline Lodge. Hikers w ill be taught how to use ice axes and crampons and how to traverse snow-covered slopes and streams Axes, crampons and ropes are furnished. A 10-day 350-mile bike tour from River Hawks succeed at state TAC meet The Sandy River Hawks Track Club brought home 14 first-through- third-place medals and one state record from The Athletic Congress State Track and Field Champion ships in Salem Saturday. The Hawks took 25 athletes to the m e e t, w h ic h d ra w s ru n n e rs , throwers and jumpers from Oregon and Southwest Washington A rt Skipper threw the javelin 179-0 to take firs t place in the intermediate boys javelin and set a meet record Skipper also garnered second place in the intermediate boys pole vault. Stephanie M iijus hurled her way to victory in two events, winning both the shot put and the discus in the midget g irls ' competition. Chris Sunseri also took firs t in the shot put. Last y e a r’s regional (Oregon- WashingtonCalifornia) cross country champion, Daniel Whitlock, took se cond in the 3,000-meter run. He has run the 3,000 in 10 minutes, 23 seconds over tough terrain, but injuries have slowed him down this year Barb Rivers nearly took first place in th e in te r m e d ia te g ir ls 1,500-meters, but wound up second as breathing problems slowed her pace Rivers came back to take another se cond place in the 800 by PAT O’HALLORAN Just watch one practice and one thing is immediately noticeable: this g irl has a gift. The rifle pass to a baseline-cutting teammate. The slinky reverse layup that leaves spectators of the scrimmage shaking their heads with amaze ment Even her encouraging words to a guard whose shooting is off just a tad. Everything this g irl displays on the court not only endears her to her teammates, but makes her hopes all the more plausible. Shanna Daniels has star quality She is an outstanding softball player (first team all Mt Hood Conference catcher) She has potential as a volleyball player (honorable mention all-MHC in her first year in the sport), although she downplays it by modestly — and incorrectly — saying, " I ’m a horrible volleyball player ” But Daniels won't set the world on fire with her play in either one of those sports. No, Shanna Daniels is going to be a Basketball Player — and with her ability and potential, those two words very definitely need to be capitalized Daniels, who w ill be a junior at Sandy High School this fall, rose to state wide prominence as a basketball player in March, at the State AAA Girls Basketball Tournament She was named to the all-tournament second- team, led the tourney in scoring with a 17 5-points-per-game average and was the eighth-leading rebounder with nine boards a game She helped lead Sandy to a fifth-place finish in their first appearance in the tournament. The g irl is gifted She knows it, her parents know it, her teammates know it, her opponents know it. But how to keep her intensity up when faced with mediocre and sometimes no competition is a problem her father, Dennis Daniels, and her basketball coach, John Smith, are finding the solution to. Summer basketball leagues abound There is a Nike summer league. Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics and a high school summer league There is the Portland State camp, the Oregon State camp and the Blue Star camp She has played or w ill play in all of these this summer But the one Shanna wants to attend the most, the Basketball Congress In ternational tournament in Tucson. Ariz., has a drawback — the cost The BCI is a national tournament which draws teams mainly from the western region of the United States A large number of the squads come from the I .os Angeles area, with others coming from states such as Nevada and Arizona l.ast summer. Shanna participated in a tryout camp for the Oregon BCI team, which Coach Smith suggested would be good for her and a couple of teammates According to Daniels, Smith didn't think they would make the team Daniels was the only Sandy g irl who went to the tryouts, and to the surprise of everyone, herself included, she made the team Plus. . . " I f she shows up (this year), she's guaranteed a spot on the team ," said new BCI coach Robbie Fenk "Sin’se she made the team last year, that guarantees her a spot through the rest of her high school e lig ib ility .” The tryout camp is set for June 16-23, at Willamette University in Salem The BCI tourney w ill be July 25-30, at a Tucson high school So making the team is not a problem , getting to Tucson may be. Daniels needs to raise 3300 to pay for her trip Her father estimates the total cost of her summer basketball endeavors, including the various camps she w ill at tend. to be more than 31,300 The Daniels need help to get their daughter to Tucson, and since the BCI is the only activity Daniels is participating in which is tax deductible, the fam ily is asking the community for its support Donation cans w ill be out by the end of the week at three area restaurants: Dairy Queen, the Country Donut House Restaurant and Paola'sPizza Banti. In addition, thruugh June, Paola's w ill donate a dollar when patrons buy a large pizza and mention Shanna s name. The donation cans w ill be out until needed funds are raised People wishing to get a receipt for tax purposes may call John Smith at 288 3423 The BCI tournament is the opportunity of a lifetime for high school basketball player* According to Fenk. between 40 and 60 NCAA Division I coaches w ill be scouting the tournament. " It's a summer recruiting hotbed," Fenk said. "O ur goal is to win the first couple of games," which would then get the team into the games played in the evening, when most of the college scouts frequent the stands To get the girls there and in front of the Division 1 scouts is the goal of the BCI "Exposure is what it's all about," Fenk stressed And exposure is what Daniels needs if she is to attain her goal of playing Division I ball Either the University of Southern California, where her idol, Olympian and All American Cheryl M iller, and form er St M ary’s Academy all stater Karon Howell play, or Long Beach State, where Cindy Brown from Grant High School and Michael Abrahams, a former coach at St Mary's, grace the program are the schools Shanna is looking at as possibilities Daniels started her high school career at Estacada High School, and as the competition — and the losing — proved to be of little challenge, she transferred to Sandy High School and played in the final few varsity games of her freshman year Her sophomore year is when she finally hit stride. In helping Sandy to its first MHC crown, Daniels was named first-team all league, third team all-state, led the Pioneers in both scoring and re bounding and was second on the team in assists She is what afficianados refer to as a "gym ra t,” though a large part of her summertime playing consists of one-on-one with her dad on their out door hoop Her star quality extends into her choices of favorite players Cheryl M iller, the premier women’s player is one, while Los Angeles Laker E a r vin "M a g ic" Johnson is another of her favorites. Of course, she knew the Lakers would beat the Boston Celtics in the recently-completed National Basketball Association Championship Series She has no room for the non stars. the Celtics: " I don’t like Boston I hate Larry Bird: he’s a crybaby.” Shanna Daniels at this point is a big fish in a relatively Pttle pond She is ever-improving her skills But if she is to become a big fish in a big pond as she dreams, she needs help, the competition that would help her make the leap o bonafide big pond star is in Tucson Shanna has the ability, potential and the w ill, all she needs are the funds to get her there and Recreation Running the 3,000 for only the third tim e in two years, Brad Schmautz set a personal best of 9:14.4 en route to a third-place finish in tough competi tion Schmautz also took third in the intermediate boys 800 Jake Simonis took th ird in the ban tam boys 800 with a tim e of 2:57.1 A pair of second places was the reward for Julie Crompton, as she was runner-up in the intermediate girls discus and the intermediate girls shot put. The midget boys 1,800-meter relay team, consisting of Chris Snow. Nathan F urr, Adam K ra ft and Trent Waibel, also took second place The team was disappointed with their showing, according to Coach Darold Beymer, but plan to rebound for the Junior Olympic meet this weekend Medals are awarded to first-, second- and third-place finishers in the meet. “ I thought our kids competed well on the whole,” Beymer said, ‘ ‘but there were some seconds that should have been firs t places.” The River Hawks w ill take 28 athletes to their next meet, the Oregon State Junior Olympics at Mt Hood C o m m u n ity C ollege th is weekend. Opening ceremonies are slated fo r 10 a m. Saturday. Summer Fun signups underway at rec dept.
