MEN'S The mens basketball team started its season on a very positive note by winning its first three games. The team defeated Norwich, Vermont Tech., and John Abott before it lost its first game to Champlain College of Burlington. The squad was led in scoring and rebounding by Jeff McCasland, who was second in Region III 16.5 R.P.G., and getting floor leadership from co-captain Ken Recore. Other members of the starting team include John Amell, Roger Wilcox, and Rich Demarse, with bench support comming from Mark Sipe, Todd Roberts, Chip Dickerson, and Johann Pope. The team finished the first semester with a 4-5 record after losing a couple of heartbreakers to Potsdam and Canton. Secon semester started slowly for the Cougars as they dropped their first two games back to St. Lawrence and Adirondack. However, through hard work and the addition of three players, Charles Bartlett, Steve Criss, and Robin Vaughn the team has turned things around. Three consecutive wins over Paul Smiths, Vermont Tech., and Schenectady Have evened the teams record at 7-7 with nine games remaining on schedule. Coach Paul Harrica is extremely proud of his team showing so far this year. He attributes the teams success to hard work and dedication, and the players great attitude. He feels that this is the hardest working team that he has fielded here at Clinton Community College. The College wishes the team well in its remaining games of the season and congratulates them on the fine success that they have had to date. Keven Couture Sports Editor 29 rHrH coHtnp Ln C!d

CLINTON COUGAR HOCKEY According to head hockey coach Clarke Herdic, the 1984-85 team is the strongest this college has had during the past ten years. Coach Herdic credits much of this year's success to assistant coach Rick Young. Coach Young was a member of Plattsburgh State's hockey team for three years prior to his com- ming to Clinton. In addition to coach Young, coach Herdic also credits several part-time students for their support in helping to make a strong hockey team. Coach Herdic stated that this colleges' hockey program is attracting many high school students, who would have gone to colleges out of the area to play hockey. The following is a list of the 1984-85 squad: Craig Backus D, Steve Betrus F, Jay Durrand F, Jeff Evans F, Sean Foley F, Jamie Juntunen D, Bill Kasper F, Tommy Kowalawski F, Eric Lange D, Jim Lattrelle G, Scott Miller F, Andy McLean F, Jeff Pfohal G, Michael Riendeau F, Jay Rigsbee D, John Williamson D, and Chris Witmore F. Kevin Couture Sports Editor I am sorry to say that due to a slight mis- communication between myself and the staff photographer Men's Hockey cannot be properly represented this year. In addition to Men's Hockey, Women's Basketball was not able to be photographed because a schedule was not submitted. I appologize „ for the staff photographer and the women's correspondent. EDITOR
