annual meeting of the Association
o f Oregon Counties.
Annie Hisler recently com
pleted her volleyball season as a
sophomore at Mt. Hood Commu
nity College. As a freshman, Hisler
came to the program with a great
deal o f potential said a Mt. Hood
Community College news release.
She quickly became a starter as a
defensive specialist and helped the
Mt. Hood Saints to the NWAACC
tournament.
Her sophomore year (1999 sea
son), Hisler returned much im
proved and earned her role as the
starting defensive specialist on a
very talented team said the news
release. She finished the season
with 178 digs, 42 o f which she
earned in the NWAACC tourna
ment alone. Hisler helped lead the
Saints to the NWAACC finals
serving 93 percent with four aces
and only four errors in 56 attempts.
Saints coach Michael Seemann
added, “Annie has come a long
way in the game of volleyball and
has become one o f the best de
fensive specialists at this level.”
The Saints were second in the
Southern Region at the end of the
season, with only two losses, both
to champion Chemeketa.
During the NWAACC tourna
ment championship held Nov. 18-
20, Mt. Hood beat Edmonds, Spo

Columbia Basin in the semi-finals
which dropped them into the los
ers’ bracket. Facing double elimi

title. Mt. Hood beat Columbia
Basin in the championship match
in five games, but both were tied
in wins for the title. They had a
single game title tie-breaker that
Columbia Basin won, 15-12.
The final NWAACC tourna
ment standings were Columbia
Basin, first; Mt. Hood, second;
S pokane, th ird ; C hem eketa,

for Oregon State Representative
o f District 59. On Nov. 22, the two
met in Condon to show their mu
tual support and meet with citizens
o f the district.
“Greg Smith is an impressive

man Walden.
Sm ith c u rre n tly serv es as

Smith, a first-time candidate, is
seeking to fill Representative Lynn
Lundquist’s (R-Powell Butte)
seat. Lundquist, who has reached
his term limit, is seeking the Re
publican nomination for Secretary
o f State, and is also endorsing
Smith.
“Greg realizes the issues we
face in rural Oregon,” said Rep
resentative Lundquist. “I am proud
to say that he will be representing
my personal interests in Salem.”
Smith has kicked off his cam
paign by showing strong support
for education, senior citizens ser
vices and natural resource issues,
including agriculture and timber.
Smith said he plans to hit the cam
paign trail hard after the first of
the year.
