Painful decision Kent’s basketball career took a turn for the worse his senior year at Churchill High School. In the third game of the season and with three minutes remaining in the first quarter against Elmira, Kent suf fered a fracture in the gliding surface of his left femur and tore all of the cartilage in his left knee. “I was on a fastbreak, went up for a dunk and got undercut,” Kent said. “I was really frustrated because this was supposed to be this team’s year.” Despite the loss of Kent for the sea son, it still was Churchill’s year. The Lancers won the state championship with Kent watching from the bench. “Basketball was going to be my ve hicle in life,” Kent said. “It really taught me how to watch the game and be more analytical of the game.” Kent was on crutches for nearly 12 weeks; during that time the basket ball offers from various universities dried up. All except one. “I was really lucky in the fact that my dad was in the position to let me walk on and redshirt for a year,” Kent said. Kent watched from the sidelines as the 2001-02 Oregon basketball team reached the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. His time on the bench made him anxious to show his potential on the court and then the unthinkable happened. During a pick-up game of basket ball at the recreation center, Kent tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his right knee. “I spent a year on the Elite Eight team, then turned around and served water to the team,” Kent said, adding that it was a humbling experience. “I don’t know many young players that could humble themselves like that,” Ernie Kent said. “To stay hum bled and come through all of the ad versity that he has come through ... it makes you feel proud as a dad.” Kent decided to give up playing basketball in college. “I’ve had two serious knee surger ies,” Kent said of his thoughts at the time. “I’d rather be able to walk and play with my grandkids 50 years from now than to try to play two more years of college ball.” Nearly a year to the date after the initial injury, the same ACL tear oc curred during another pick-up game at the recreation center. Since then, the injury has happened one more time, after slipping on a linoleum floor on New Year’s Eve of 2003. “Anytime you see a kid suffer emo tionally and physically it is painful,” Ernie Kent said. “To his credit, even though his knees have not allowed him to play, he has found ways to stay involved in the game.” Kent is going in for surgery to re ceive a cadaver ACL on Thursday, a procedure that he hopes will relieve some pain. “I’ve pretty much been told that I will have arthritis in both knees by the time I turn 30, so living without pain is basically out of the question,” Kent said. “Hopefully I will be able to run around with my kids and grand kids without worrying about struc tural issues (of my knees).” Watching from every angle Kent has gone from playing on the court to watching from the bench to watching from the stands-as a mem ber of the media and as a team man ager-and will watch next year as an undergraduate manager. “It has allowed me to view sports from so many different angles,” Kent said. “I don’t think there have been many people to see everything from all of those angles. It has given me a good understanding of sports and so ciety and how it ties together.” As an undergraduate manager, Kent will help the team with indi vidual workouts, administrative work, film exchange and his fa vorite, scouting reports. “One of the things I’m really look ing forward to is the film side of things,” Kent said. “To sit down and dissect another team is something I’m really looking forward to.” The knowledge he gained on the sidelines will be a valuable experi ence; however, Kent doesn’t know whether he wants to go into coaching as a career. “I don’t know if I could be a career coach because I don’t know if I could handle that lifestyle,” Kent said. That decision can be made in the future, while the present will consist of Kent helping the Oregon basketball program to success. “I’d like to think the greatest thing I can offer these guys is my experi ence,” Kent said. Even if that is the only thing he can offer, it will be more than enough. shawnmiller@ dailyemerald, com Baseball: Volcanoes break Ems' winning streak Continued from page 5 Each Ems batter reached base during the game, a feat that im pressed Howell. “That means they are all working hard,” Howell said. “Baserunners pressure the defense. ” Ems defeat Salem-Keizer 14-2 on Saturday A nine-run eighth inning high lighted a 14-2 victory over Salem Keizer on Saturday.
