IN BRIEF

Former Oregon women’s basket
ball star Cathrine Kraayeveld has

WNBA’s New York Liberty.
Kraayeveld, who earned first-team
All-Pac-10 honors last season, was
drafted in the third round by the San
Antonio Silver Stars in April’s WNBA
Draft. Kraayeveld appeared in one
pre-season game, scoring seven
points and grabbing four rebounds,
before being cut in May.
Currently fifth in the six-team East

Kent: Various angles provide new insights
Continued from page 5
“It was really watered-down,” Kent
said of the lifestyle in California.
“There are so many areas of enter
tainment in town that we didn’t real
ly even register.”
The Kents moved from California
to Eugene in 1997 when Ernie re
ceived the head coaching position for
the Ducks.
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.

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.
Eugene sent 15 batters to the
plate in the inning, connecting on
six hits, with two walks and two
Salem-Keizer errors.
Santiago Guerrero and Richard
son were each plunked by a pitch to
begin the eighth-inning drubbing.
Jones and Alley each hit RBI singles
before Sansoe walked to load the
bases. Cavanaugh and Hundley fol
lowed with RBI singles and Chase
Headley drew a bases-loaded walk.
A sacrifice fly by Guerrero, an error
on the pitcher and another RBI sin
gle by Jones capped the scoring.
Salem-Keizer scored its two runs
in the top of the ninth inning, with
help from three Eugene errors.
Seven of the nine Ems’ batters ac
counted for at least one RBI, led by
Guerrero with three. Alley led the
offensive outburst v/ith three hits in
six at-bats, scoring two runs with
one RBI. Hundley scored three runs,
while Cavanaugh, Richardson and
Jones each scored twice.
Salem-Keizer wins against
Eugene 11-4 with 17 hits
Salem-Keizer broke Eugene’s five
game winning streak with an 11-4
victory on Sunday. The Volcanoes
had 17 hits, while the Ems account
ed for eight.
Trailing 6-0, the Ems scored all
four runs in the fifth inning. Salem
Keizer answered with at least one
run in each of the remaining in
nings. Eugene committed four er
rors that led to two unearned runs.
Alley and Headley each had two
hits for the Ems.
