New Campus Safety Director Suzy Isham discusses printer problems with Matt Larkin, IT technician for the college.

The printer in her new office was malfunctioning and Larkin was there to troubleshoot the problem.

Joshua Dillen Co-Editor-in-Chief There might not be a new sheriff in town, but there is a new cop on campus. Suzy Isham has been on the job for just over a week as the college’s newest and first female Campus Safety Director.

Lacking leadership for more than four months, Campus Safety is now complete. Isham replaces Kurt Nelson who was terminated last October after less than a year at the position.

A veteran officer with more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement and training, Isham described why she pursued the open position at Clackamas Community College.

“I was looking for a new challenge. It seemed to fit my background and my love of not only education,” Isham said, “but also law enforcement and safety. It seemed like a perfect fit; it really spoke to me.”

Isham has extensive training in law enforcement and an impressive resume. After receiving a bachelor of arts in criminology and criminal justice at Southern Oregon University, she was hired by Marion County Sherriff’s Office in 1992 at the age of 21. She worked there as a DUII enforcement officer, detective and helped with the DEA Taskforce as a patrol deputy.

In 2002 she was recruited to work with Oregon’s Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) as a traffic safety training lieutenant. In 2004 she was promoted to regional

advanced training captain. After that, she held positions in administration and tactical training.

Isham also brings another advantage to the job. As mental health issues and campus shootings headline the news these days, CCC now has an officer who is trained to deal with mentally unstable people and the crimes they may commit.

“I’ve dealt with a lot of different mental health issues, PTSD stuff. I used to run a couple of CIT trainings regionally when I was in charge of regional training,” Isham said.

Crisis Intervention Training or CIT certifies peace officers to deal with mentally unstable individuals.

SUZY: Former Marion County Sheriff’s detective begins at CCC Continued from Page 1

“

I’m looking forward to many many years of being here, and hopefully making folks feel safer here if they don’t already.”

Suzy Isham Campus Safety Director

including active shooter situations and fires.

Janet Paulson, public affairs officer for the college, looks forward to working with Isham.

“We’re very happy to have Suzy here. She’s a great addition to the staff,” Paulson said.

Isham wants to be in touch with the community here and looks forward to meeting staff and students in the near future.

“I’m honored to be here. I’m looking forward to many many years of being here and hopefully making folks feel safer here if they don’t already. This is a great campus. It really is,” she said.

Isham’s office is in Barlow 226. She invites any one to stop by and meet her or ask questions. She can be reached at 503-594-6451 or extension 6451 from any campus phone.

Isham’s supervisor, Dean of Campus services Bob Cochran, said she was among four finalists out of a field that had been narrowed to 26 considered for the position. These finalists were then put through an extensive interview process which was led by Cochran and included interviews with different deans. The emergency management team, the dean of students and a local sheriff’s deputy were just some of those involved to whittle these four down even more.

“A representative from our insurance company was there to look at these people. From there it went to two [finalists],” Cochran said.

The ultimate choice was Isham and Cochran is excited to work with her to keep the campus safe. After Isham’s first few days on campus, he has been impressed with her preliminary performance on the job.

“I’m very excited. She’s coming in open minded. She sees a lot of work to be done, which is what I expected,” Cochran said. “She has a lot of vision already on where she wants to takes things.”

Cochran said that one of the first things she is going to work on is how the department and college will handle emergencies on campus. He said that she is very excited to disseminate information and the training needed for staff and students to deal with various emergency scenarios

Suzy Isham is the first female Campus Safety Director at Clackamas Community College. She has led Crisis Intervention training in the past, which teaches officers how to handle mentally unstable inidividuals.

Tipping the scales in the NFL A.M. Sports

Impact Jiu Jitsu makes impression in Gladstone

Andrew Millbrooke

Sports Editor

Photos by Brittany Bell The Clackamas Print

“Always give one-hundred percent, and you’ll never have to second guess yourself.”

- Tommy John

The evolution of sport has often meant bigger, faster, and stronger. While this is great when watching athletic freaks like LeBron James, Calvin Johnson or Usain Bolt dominate their opponents, it becomes an issue when concussion and injury problems rise to the forefront.

Currently, more than 1,500 players are teaming up to sue the NFL for allegedly hiding the dangers of concussions from them. But the brain damage caused by repeated blows to the head is going to be a minor problem compared to the sleeping giant that lies beneath the sheets in the NFL. The real problem that is ready to explode onto the scene is the exponential rise in 300 plus pound athletes playing in the NFL over the past 30 years and the health issues that arise for those carrying that extra weight. The statistics are startling and downright scary.

According to information provided by Stats LLC, there was one 300-pound player in the league in 1970, three in 1980, 94 in 1990, 301 in 2000 and 394 at the start of the 2010 season.

When the Green Bay Packers won the first Super Bowl in 1966, the heaviest player on their roster was 265 pound Hall of Fame guard Jerry Kramer. The famed Steel Curtain defense that led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl titles in six seasons in the ‘70s was led by “Mean Joe” Greene at a relatively slim 275 pounds.

The list of medical conditions related to carrying an extra 50-100 pounds of weight is long and deadly. High blood pressure, obesity, sleep apnea, arthritic joints, diabetes and elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels have all been linked to past and current NFL players. Over the next 10-20 years, a lot of these 300 plus pound players will be reaching the end of their road.

When Minnesota Viking Korey Stringer, a 335 pound offensive lineman, died from complications of heat stroke at training camp in 2001, the NFL revised its workout policies and began to test more effectively for heart issues.

Although, the NFL has not had another heat related death since, early deaths are common for former players.

In 2002, former New Orleans Saints linemen Frank Warren died at age 43 from a heart attack. In 2004, Hall of Fame defensive linemen Reggie White also passed away at 43 due to a cardiac arrhythmia that was related to sleep apnea. The following year, San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Thomas Herrion collapsed and died after a pre-season game due to heart disease from a blocked coronary artery. All three players were well over 300 pounds in their playing days.

All of these guys were big, strong men in what should have been the prime of their life. All were very good at pushing other, smaller men around and they paid the ultimate price for being too big, too strong and too good at what they did.

Was it all really worth it?

Student Josh Manfredi watches as instructor KC Thompson demonstrates a triangle choke at Impact BJJ in Gladstone. Wrapping his left leg around Zack Force’s neck, he brings the right leg over left ankle and squeezes the head and arm to finish the choke.

David Beasley Associate Sports Editor Among the plethora of popular martial arts available to practitioners in various locations around the Portland Metro area is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The art is defined by leverage and technique; it is the chess of grappling combat. Closer than any other prominent Jiu Jitsu school in Clackamas County is Impact BJJ of Gladstone.

Regularly roaming the mats at Gladstone is purple belt KC Thompson. He knew BJJ was the sport for him after winning his first competitive match by Kimura arm lock submission.

“I’ve been training almost five and a half years now,” said Thompson.

He has recent first place finishes in BJJ competitions at the 2012 U.S. Open, 2012 Las Vegas Open and 2012 Pan-Ams. Thompson is also a self proclaimed adrenaline junkie.

“I was skydiving before I started [Jiu Jitsu] and I still skydive now,” said Thompson.

Originally called Straight Blast Gym in 1998, Impact BJJ offers classes in numerous locations, including Portland Community College. The Gladstone school is conveniently located at 17763 Southeast 82nd Dr. This new addition to the local combat community brings high quality Jiu Jitsu instruction closer than ever before.

Impact took over 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu which was located just down the road on Jennifer Street. Shortly after that, Impact BJJ moved to 82nd Drive. Josh Manfredi is a student who has made the transition as well.

“I trained at this place before it

was Impact. It started out as 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu,” said Manfredi.

“It’s not really a martial arts class.

It’s like a community which is really cool.”

The school has a strong lineage linking them to the most famous BJJ family, the Gracies. Impact BJJ owner Michael Chapman received his black belt in 2004 from Chris Haueter, one of the first Americans ever to earn a BJJ black belt. Haueter studied under Rigan Machado, a Brazilian who in turn received his black belt under Carlos Gracie. Brothers Carlos and Helio Gracie are the founders of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Chapman has assembled a competent team of instructors to

provide quality training at their numerous schools. One of the talented staff members at Gladstone is Thompson. As a purple belt, Thompson brings his experience of competing in BJJ tournaments to his coaching style. He also has an uplifting sense of humor and lightens the mood with tension breaking jokes or funny explanations of techniques.

Steven Chang, a student at Impact, has been training in BJJ for about 15 months. He likes the community feeling offered at Impact.

“We’ve got a pretty tight group of people training every day,” said Chang. “Training with people you don’t trust, or don’t know what to

do, you can get injured.”

Impact BJJ of Gladstone is the perfect meeting place for seasoned grapplers and novices alike.

It is a great environment to refine basic techniques and learn new strategies.

Offering different levels of membership and a punch card type payment system, students can plan their workouts around busy schedules. Chapman himself leads some of the sessions at Gladstone, along with other high ranked instructors. Classes are offered in the afternoon and evening Monday through Friday.

Full schedule and more details are available at www.impactjj. com.

Grabbing Zack Force’s right sleeve, KC Thompson begins to demonstrate a sweep transition reversing position. Thompson plants his left foot and grabs Force’s right pant leg and swings Force over with leverage rather than pure strength.

Expectations high for Cougar softball Anna Dempster, a freshman pitcher from Tualatin, unleashes a pitch in Saturday’s game against Bellevue CC. Dempster smashed a home run in her first collegiate at bat in the Cougars 6-2 victory, while pitching three scoreless innings in relief of starter Breann Morrison. The Cougars have high expectations this season as the defending NWAACC Champions.

Andrew Millbrooke Sports Editor The Clackamas softball team opened up defense of their 2012 NWAACC Championship with three games this weekend at the William V. Owens Sports Complex at Delta Park. The Cougars got two wins and one loss over the weekend, defeating Northwest Christian 5-4 and Bellevue 6-2, while falling to NAIA power Concordia 4-1.

“I’m really proud of them for the first weekend how they came out and played,” said 5th-year assistant coach Dustin Bare. “We took care and played great defense all weekend. We hit pretty well, pitched great and caught great. It’s going to be exciting to see as we move through the season.”

Clackamas’ softball program has a history of success unmatched by any other program in the

NWAACC. The Cougars have won nine NWAACC titles and finished in second place four times in the past 20 seasons. Look for this year’s team to stick to form and be right in the hunt for another championship.

“We have high expectations,” said 7-year head coach Jessica Buel, a former star center fielder for the Cougars. “We have a very deep team, a lot of talent and a great pitching staff. Our expectations are to be back in that championship game and playing for a title again.”

Buel enjoys competing against four-year schools in the pre-season to prepare her team for the long road ahead. Facing Concordia is a good test this early in the season.

“We faced a great team.

Concordia is off to a hot start.

They’ve got some really talented players, so it was good for us to come out and get challenged,” said Buel. “We played some good ball, got on base and did some things.

We just didn’t put enough runs on the board.”

I was a little nervous at first, but that went away.

I had two strikes.

I just did what I had to do. It felt great.”

Anna Dempster CCC softball pitcher

The Cougars did let the bats do the talking in wins over Northwest Christian and Bellevue, as five different players each got two hits. Against NWC, Rachel Ray, Rashaun Sells and Nicole Lehman provided the offensive spark with two hits apiece. In the win over Bellevue, Tasha Silvius and

Samantha Owirka both rapped out two hits.

“We got aggressive with the bats,” said Buel. “We were hitting the ball well. We were aggressive on the bases and made some things happen.”

Stepping up in her first collegiate appearance on Saturday, freshman Anna Dempster answered the call. Dempster came on in relief of starting pitcher Breann Morrison to pitch three scoreless innings to earn the save against Bellevue, but it was her turn at bat that provided the fireworks.

Dempster smashed a two-strike pitch over the center field wall in her first career at bat for a two-run home run, pushing the Cougars ahead 6-2. The Bulldogs center fielder crashed through the outfield fence trying to make a play on the ball and was down for a couple minutes while the Cougars celebrated. She ended up being alright and returned to her position in the field.

“I was little nervous at first, but that went away,” said Dempster. “I had two strikes. I just did what I had to do. It felt great.”

The coaches were pleased with her performance, both at the plate and on the mound.

“It was a good test for her. She came in and got done what we needed to have done,” said Buel.

“She went up with confidence at the plate and came up big for us.”

“She took advantage of the opportunity she got,” added Bare.

“She came in and did her job, threw strikes and made them put the ball in play and we made some plays.”

The Cougars will be on the road for most of March with trips to Pasco and Walla Walla, Washington on March 9 and 10 and a weekend in Casa Grande, Arizona on March 15 and 16. Clackamas’ next home game is Saturday, March 30, against Centralia at 2 p.m.

“We take it game by game and weekend by weekend,” said Bare.

Fall sports at Clackamas Community College ended three months ago as the cold winter began, but recruiting for next season’s roster is heating up. The Cougar cross country and volleyball squads have both announced multiple athletes who have signed letters of intent to compete for Clackamas next year.

Leading the way is the cross country team, which has already inked four current high school seniors.

“We are really excited about the four people we have signed so far,” said head cross country coach Jerret Mantalas. “All four are going to kill it for us and do really well.

We’ve got more kids coming soon

and we’ll get some more letters of intents in.”

Andrew Duffy from Camas High School and Pake Benthin from Molalla High School will both be joining the men’s squad next fall. Duffy is currently coached by former CCC head track and cross country coach, Mike Hickey, making him a natural fit for Clackamas.

“His upside is enormous,” said Mantalas. “I think he will be an immediate impact guy for us next year, which we are really excited about.”

Benthin is another guy that has enormous upside.

“He’s just starting to figure things out over the last eight months. He had a breakout season in cross country and indoors, he’s already ran a lifetime best for 3,000-meters,” said Mantalas. “He’s another guy that we’re expecting to be an immediate impact guy for us and round out our

group.”

On the women’s side, Mantalas has signed two Oregon girls, Falisha Aho of Molalla High School and Courtney Repp of McNary High School in Salem.

“Falisha’s run very fast on the track, but her cross country times are not necessarily equal to that,” said Mantalas. “We are really excited to get her in, trying to get her dialed in on the right page and get those cross country marks to resemble those track marks. She’ll come in and be right with our front group.”

Repp is a standout runner for McNary who has really learned how to train and race in the past year.

“She’s got a little more experience,” said Mantalas. “She’s got a lot of consistency running right around the low 20 minutes for 5,000-meters.”

Mantalas talked about the importance of recruiting local athletes with the great history of distance running in the state of Oregon.

“We focus a lot on trying to stay as local as possible and then branch out from there,” said Mantalas.

“This area is so good. The more you can get those kids that are local and close to home, it’s a little more of a comfort thing. We’re in the state of Oregon, I mean where else is it better to recruit from?”

Volleyball Clackamas head volleyball coach Kathie Woods has signed three athletes that will complement her returning sophomores next season. All three girls earned allleague honors this past season at different positions. Sierra Veracruz is a defensive specialist and libero from Oregon City High School.

‘Spanish Oprah’ shoots video on campus

Nelly Rodriguez interviewed CCC graduate Patty Lerma and ESL department secretary Klaudia Esquivel in Roger Rook Hall. This ESL segment has already aired on Cita Con Nelly, but there will be more to come.

Emily Rask Co-Arts & Culture Editor In Oregon, 3.64 percent of the population speaks only Spanish and this percentage is slowly rising, according to staticbrain.com.

Community colleges such as CCC offer English as a second language (ESL) classes and offer more core classes in Spanish.

Advertising of the Spanish speaking classes has also begun for Clackamas. On Feb. 11, a Spanish-language TV variety

show called Cita Con Nelly was on campus. The show is led by Nelly Rodriguez who is originally from the Dominican Republic.

“I don’t remember really,” said Rodriguez when asked how she got in touch with CCC. She has been working with CCC for three years.

During the Spanish segment filmed in Roger Rook Hall, Rodriguez interviewed CCC graduate Patty Lerma and ESL department secretary Klaudia Esquivel.

Janet Paulson, public information officer at CCC, helped set up the Spanish-language segments with Rodriguez.

“Public affairs works with departments or programs or the college as a whole to promote our college, programs, departments or individuals,” Paulson said. “The English as a second language faculty came to us wanting to raise awareness of our ESL classes in Molalla and Canby, in particular. So we talked about different things we could do to help get the word out for them. One of the things we did was we worked with a Spanish language radio station to put together a public service announcement about the ESL classes.”

Paulson also said that after working with the radio station

You start by mixing boiling water and the Jell-O mix.

Stir until the Jell-O mix is completely dissolved; immediately add the marshmallows and stir until they are melted.

Once the marshmallows are dissolved, stir in the mayonnaise until smooth.

At this point set it in your fridge, but don’t forget it.

The Jell-O needs to set for a couple minutes. In a separate bowl, toss together the pineapple, grated cabbage and cottage cheese. (If you wanted to add anything else, now is the time.) Once the Jell-O has begun to set, fold together the Jell-O and the cottage cheese mixture.

Leave to set for at least another hour or two.

Traditionally this is made and served in a beautiful bowl. With the top artfully decorated with maraschino cherries, mandarins or pineapple pieces arranged on top.

Grandma’s Green Salad is ambrosial. It is beautiful and has a taste of home. Take a short walk on the strange side of food. Just remember, if your friends ask what’s in your beautiful Jell-O salad, you can always just leave them wondering why it tastes so darn good.

No matter what the food or the occasion, just remember to Eat, Print, Love.

Patty Salazar The Clackamas Print

Mama always said you should eat your greens. In my family there was no stranger manifestation of this idea than Grandma’s Green Salad.

Grandma’s salad was one of those things that always warmed my heart. Because I was raised eating it, I don’t really see it as strange. To everyone I have ever roped into my Thanksgiving, it is met with looks of distrust and less than savory explanations of why mayonnaise, cottage cheese and lime Jell-O have no business being mixed together. Once complaints are done, the brave of heart always find that it has a delicate flavor that is accented by the curds of cheese and crunch of fresh cabbage.

This is a food fossil born from the creative kitchens of the early 20th century and their nearly fetish-like relationship with gelatin that has been thriving since Victorian times. It was born in a time when Aspic was still a food people would eat and where suspending any fruit in Jell-O could be a fancy accent to a dinner party.

Grandma’s Green Salad is excellent when served with lamb, salmon and most chowder. Its creamy fruit flavor goes with almost anything. At your next potluck or dinner party, take a step over to a bygone era and give this recipe a try.

they began to develop a segment for a Spanish language television show called Cita Con Nelly.

“Cita Con Nelly is a kind of Spanish-language Oprah,” said Paulson. “She does a lot of public affairs programming in the Portland metro area for Spanish speakers. Her program runs on Saturday mornings on Univision, which is a Spanish language TV station.”

Her show has a broad audience of viewers. It can attract many different people and an entire family will sit down to watch it.

“It’s just a good avenue to reach the Spanish speaking population,” said Paulson.

More and more Spanish speaking students are graduating from CCC and the ESL classes are helping immensely.

The CCC segment has already aired on Cita Con Nelly and there will be more to come from campus.

Paulson’s colleague, public affairs officer Tamara BarryPeebles, helped coordinate and prepare for Rodriguez. BarryPeebles was at the filming of the ESL segment in Roger Rook Hall.

“My role was to be the coordinator for the filming,” said Barry-Peebles. “All the logistics have been set up by Janet Paulson and she asked me to be there to kind of help assist and coordinate.”

Barry-Peebles walked around with the filming crew for Cita Con Nelly. She showed them around the college and showed them all of the different places that had been arranged for filming.

“They filmed at three different locations. They did some background filming at an ESL class in the Dye Learning Center, and then they went to the computer lab in Dye, and then they filmed some shots in the library,” said BarryPeebles.

They decided that the best place to film the interview of the CCC staff member and student would be in the entrance of the Roger Rook Hall; they wanted to show the activity of the college in front of registration and financial aid.

Barry-Peebles thinks that the Spanish segment will help the college because it targets Spanish speaking students and was filmed in Spanish.

Faculty spends sabbatical reaching out Breanna Craine Co-Arts & Culture Editor Sabbaticals are supposed to be about doing something during your time off that helps further your teaching in some way. Kate Gray, an English teacher at CCC, poet and fiction writer is doing just this.

Gray has worked at CCC for approximately 20 years and is now trying to further her teaching skills while also doing things that she loves. I had the chance to interview her during her busy schedule to learn more about what she is doing. The main focus of her sabbatical is to figure out how personal stories affect communities. She has chosen several different areas to concentrate on.

The Clackamas Print: Can you tell us about what you do on campus?

GRAY

Kate Gray: I am an English instructor and I am also in something called the Continuous Learning Cooperative. So I help facilitate professional development opportunities for faculty and staff. That is a part of my job.

TCP: What made you decide you wanted to go on sabbatical?

KG: Sabbatical happens every seven years so it is an honor that the full-time faculty have this as part of their contract.

TCP: What are some of the things you have done so far?

KG: I am working with a group in Canby called Bridging Cultures which is trying to bridge the Anglo with the Latinos in Canby.

The folks haven’t told their stories, so what I am hoping to see is if the dynamics in the community change once they do. I have also been looking at the surviving Japanese American WWII veterans in Hood River and the impact of them not telling their stories when they returned. And the impact of — just recently in 2012 — releasing their stories. I haven’t heard yet how them telling their stories has changed the community. I also interviewed a girl who was sex trafficked in Medford, who as an adult has gone back to Medford to tell her story.

TCP: Can you tell me about your work at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility?

KG: There is a wait list (to be allowed to teach in the correctional facility) and what happens is that the folks are very close to their release date so that is one of the ways that the organizers pick who is going to be in the class. They (inmates) are eager and a little bit afraid. Most of the women in the room have never really written before, the majority.

They immediately opened up and

wrote really raw honest stories that they wrote right away.

TCP: How is it different teaching at a community college compared to these things you are doing during your sabbatical?

KG: Talking to people whose first language is not English, like the folks I am working with in Canby, makes everything you say more precious, not precious like puppies, but more careful and more of a gift. Working with people that are chronically homeless, which I did last spring, I was very careful about what I said. Each one you are very careful. You do not want to alienate anybody. You want to be a day ahead of the students and bringing people to where they want to go.

TCP: What do you enjoy most about teaching and what made you want to be a teacher?

KG: I have just about always wanted to be a teacher and the same thing with wanting to be a writer. I love the unexpected in the classroom. I love when people work off each other’s energy and teach each other. And when they get excited about their own knowledge and the knowledge they are getting. It makes me happy. When I was sitting with the folks at Coffee Creek they were laughing so hard, all I could think was this is it, this is what I want to do.

The Clackamas women’s team won three straight games at the NWAACC tournament in Kennewick, Wash., to earn a spot in Tuesday’s championship game against Southern Region rival Lane CC at 5:30 p.m. Lane is one of only three teams to beat the Cougars on the season, winning twice by a combined seven points. The semifinals featured three Southern Region teams, as Lane defeated Chemeketa 83-58 in the other semifinal to earn its title shot.

The Cougars (26-4) have now won 21 of their last 22 games and look poised to add another championship banner to the rafters in Randall gym. Unfortunately, the results were not in by deadline, so you can check out the final results at the tournament website here, www.nwaacc.org/basketball/championship/index.php Clackamas 73, Spokane 65 In the opening round game of the NWAACC tournament, the Cougars came out lethargic and found themselves down 15 points

late in the opening half to a fired up Sasquatch team. Clackamas responded with a late run to close within six points at halftime, 33-27.

Clackamas kept up the pressure in the second half as an Alex Howe basket started a 9-0 run that pushed the Cougars back into the lead. Clackamas extended the lead to 13 points before a late run by Spokane made the final score look closer than it was.

Ashleigh Anderson led the Cougars with 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Three other Cougars scored in double figures as Clackamas showed off the balanced offense that they have had all season. Tori Wilkinson added 15 points, Laci Effenberger had 11 and Jenny Johnson finished with 10 points.

The three women combined to make seven of 15 3-point attempts.

Clackamas 68, Clark 39 The Cougars reverted to form against the Penguins, running out to an early 17-5 lead before pouring it on in the second half with an 18-3 run to steamroll Clark in a quarterfinal matchup on Sunday. The Cougar defense held Clark to 26 percent field

goal shooting in the game, while forcing 23 turnovers.

Sade Elliot and Laci Effenberger led the way for the Cougars as they both made four 3-pointers in the win. Elliot scored a game-high 18 points to go along with five rebounds and four steals. Effenberger added 14 points, while Johnson grabbed a team high nine rebounds.

Clackamas 73, Skagit Valley 56 — In a rematch of last years’ fifth place game, the Cougars broke open a close game with a huge second half to deny the Cardinals a title shot. Clackamas shot 70 percent from the field and made 16 of 18 foul shots in the second half. The Cougars held Skagit Valley to just 36 percent shooting from the field in the game, while forcing 20 turnovers.

Southern Region MVP Jenny Johnson shot the lights out for the Cougars on her way to a game-high 32 points. Johnson made eight of 11 field goals and was a perfect 13 of 13 from the free throw line. Jordin Feldman added 16 points for the Cougars off the bench, making eight of 10 field goals. Clackamas’ bench outscored the Cardinals 29-7 in the game.

Men lose out at end of season Andrew Millbrooke Sports Editor The Clackamas (1714) men’s basketball team defeated Yakima Valley CC, 80-73, in the opening round of NWAACC tournament in Kennewick, Wash. on Saturday to keep its dream season alive. Unfortunately, consecutive losses to North Division powers Edmonds and Everett knocked the Cougars out of the tournament. For more information, check out the NWAACC tournament website: www.nwaacc.org/ basketball/championship/ index.php Clackamas 80, Yakima Valley 73 – Clackamas controlled the game for most of the opening half as Brock Lutes carried the scoring load with 16 first half points on the way to a 34-28 halftime lead.

The Cougars extended the lead to open the second half and looked like they might run away, but the Yaks had other ideas as they stormed back into the game to take the lead with under eight minutes remaining.

Kirby Hawkins came to the rescue for the Cougars, getting to the rim and the free throw line at will to score a gamehigh 31 points as Clackamas pulled away to finish off the win. Hawkins made nine of 18 field goals and 11 of 13 foul shots while also adding nine rebounds. Lutes finished with 24 points and team-highs of 12 rebounds and five assists.

Edmonds 81, Clackamas 71 - The Cougars led most of the way against Edmonds in round two on Sunday, but a late 12-2 run by the Tritons pushed them ahead to stay and they held on for an 81-71 victory. The Tritons were led by the athletic all-around play of Shaq McKissic, who led all scorers with 23 points. McKissic added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists in an incredible individual performance.

Michone Hopkins led the Cougars with 21 points, making five of eight 3-pointers.

Hawkins had 17 points and Lutes added 14 points, while Jordan Mosby-Barber finished with nine points and a gamehigh 14 rebounds in the loss.

Everett 90, Clackamas 73 - On Monday in a loser out game, Everett jumped all over the Cougars early and often to build an 18 point halftime lead on its way to a 90-73 win. The Trojans dominated the Cougars on the glass with a 56-42 rebounding edge, including 25 offensive boards.

The Cougars helped the Trojans along by committing an unheard of 26 turnovers in the game.

Jarell Banks led the Trojans with a game-high 22 points, while Connor Donaldson played big in the paint with 16 points and a game-high 19 rebounds. Hawkins and Lutes led the Cougars with 21 and 15 points respectively, but they made just three of 14 shots from behind the 3-point arc. The Cougars finished just five of 21 on 3-pointers for the game.

Sophomore Kirby Hawkins, from Portland, led Clackamas in scoring during the final eight games of the season with 21.5 points per game.
