IN BRIEF
Buzzer-beating bucket
sinks Ducks in Nashville
Heartbreak marred the Oregon
men’s first road game of the season
as Vanderbilt’s Mario Moore sunk
an off-balance, one-handed three
pointer as the buzzer sounded
in front of 12,626 in Nashville,
Tenn., to send the Commodores to a
76-75 victory over the Ducks
Wednesday night.
“The kid throws up a 45-footer,
there is nothing we can do about
that,” Oregon coach Ernie Kent said.
“I can’t fault my guys for that type of
a shot — throwing it up at the buzzer
and letting it go in.”
Oregon nearly had the game won
when point guard Aaron Brooks made
a high bank shot with 3.3 seconds re
maining to break a tie at 73. Following
a Vanderbilt timeout, Moore received
the inbounds in the backcourt and ran
down the right sideline before nailing
the game-winner.
Oregon’s Malik Hairston scored a
career-high 25 points with 10 re
bounds, but it was his first-half
performance that allowed the Ducks
to gain a 35-30 halftime lead. Tied
at 29 with just less than three
minutes to go in the first half, Hair
ston scored eight straight points for
the Ducks.
“Malik was awesome tonight,” Kent
said. “Malik had a great, great game.”
The Ducks built a 10-point lead
eight minutes into the second half,
but Vanderbilt wouldn’t go away.
The Commodores used a 17-5 run
to gain their first lead of the second
half with 6:27 remaining. Maarty
Leunen answered with a three
pointer 10 seconds later and Bryce
Taylor did the same nearly two
minutes later to regain the lead for
Oregon’s at 66-64.
Brooks, who finished with
15 points, scored seven of Oregon’s
final nine points. Taylor added 13.
“This team grew up in the heat of
the battle,” Kent said of the Ducks. “It
tells me a lot about their character.
They are going to be a good basketball
team because they have tremendous
character to fight through all of this.”
Vanderbilt made 76 percent of its
field goals in the second half com
pared to Oregon’s 43 percent. The
Commodores scored 17 points off
12 Ducks’ turnovers.

Jonz: Announcer balances
raising daughters with career
Continued from page 13
as commentators for the Portland
Trailblazers. Jonz passed them tapes
of himself covering games and
wound up doing play-by-play along
side them. His talent had already
taken him to the level of profession
al sports, but after listening to him
self years later, Jonz can’t help but
wonder how he got so far.
“I like to have fun, and
working with coach Bev
(Smith) is fantastic. It’s
been fun getting to know
the new staff and players ”
Terry Jonz | Oregon radio announcer
“I don’t have that many tapes to
be honest,” Jonz said. “I think I
burned all of them.”
Trying to balance his radio career
and life with his wife Stacy, whom
he married in 1981, was not easy
for Jonz.
“It was hectic trying to follow a
dream,” he said. “But my wife was
very encouraging.”
The ball kept rolling for Jonz. After
receiving a two-year degree in broad
cast journalism in 1982, he had his
own half-hour sports talk show and
refined his skills doing play-by-play
for high school swimming while
working for WNND. Jonz recalls
passing the microphone between him
and coaches in the press box franti
cally trying to cover swim meets.
“I figured if I could do that I could
do anything,” he said.
In 1987, Jonz joined Magic 94.5
in Cottage Grove where he covered
high school and collegiate sports.
He spent 19 years in the booth until
November, when he signed on with
KSCR to work at his new stomping
ground — McArthur Court.
“(KSCR) called me out of the
blue,” Jonz said. “1 couldn’t refuse.”
Now six games into the season,
Jonz has his feet wet, and he’s lov
ing every minute of it. He enjoys
covering women’s basketball and
his interactions with Oregon’s play
ers and coaches. He feels the Ducks
can go further than many expect.
“I like to have fun, and working
with coach Bev (Smith) is fantastic,”
he said. “It’s been fun getting to
know the new staff and players. The
media picked them to finish fifth in
the conference and I think they’re go
ing to be good. Anything is possible.”
Aside from KSCR, Jonz recently
made another career move. He be
came the new Program Director for
Cumulus Media’s Star 102.3. Acquir
ing the job was a surprise for Jonz,
who still finds time to juggle working
in the media and his four daughters.
“God has a sense of humor,” he
said, referring to the fact that he
grew up as one of four brothers. “It
was unexpected for me to be here. It
started with my wife and me, and I
had my one dream. Soon we had
four daughters, and I had new
dreams to fulfill. As life changes,
you change your priorities.”
For Oregon fans tuned in to the
women’s basketball games on KSCR
1320 Thursdays and Saturdays,
Jonz offers accurate and concise
play-by-play commentating. His at
tention to detail is a tribute to his
decades working in radio, which he
plans on doing at Oregon for many
years to come.
“I love doing this with the
women’s team,” he said. “And I’d
love to do this as long as they keep
me here. ”

week, an unheard of amount of
training while Salazar was compet
ing, he said. He then pointed to the
increased level of training athletes
do to run with correct form, which,
he said, is necessary to compete
professionally now.
“He’s always been a role model
for me, so I definitely wanted to
meet him,” said club member Erin
Lynch, who ran her first marathon
last year and ran competitively
through high school and college.
“He’s a legend among runners.”
“He kind of inspired me 20 years
ago to start running with his
Boston Marathon run,” said club
member Stan Talbott. “He’s a great
inspiration for the area.”
“He has the ability to mold run
ners. He’s taken nonathletes and
made them into athletes,” said Uni
versity student Jessica Brandes,
who is a Nike Store employee
studying Public Relations in the
Journalism School.
Salazar now lives in Portland
with his wife, Molly, and their three
children. He was inducted into the
National Long Distance Running
Hall of Fame in 2000. He keeps
busy with his job at Nike as well as
his work with Rupp.
“I’m just glad to be a part of it,”
said Nike Store manager Micah
Hudson. “I feel like a little kid. I am
excited to be running with one of
the best runners in the world.”
