SPORTS Saturday, October 20, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3B Washington St. hosts Oregon in key game By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press DUCK FOOTBALL No. 25 Washington State hosting No. 12 Oregon has more significance than many may have expected early in the season. The game will be key in determining which pro- gram stays alive in the hunt for the Pac-12 North title, which appeared to be a race between Washington and Stanford when the season began. All four programs now seem to be very much in it at the halfway mark. As if the intrigue wasn’t enough to make Saturday’s game one of the top con- tests in the Pac-12 this week, fans can also expect to see plenty of offensive fireworks Oregon Ducks (5-1, 2-1) Wash. St. Cougars (5-1, 2-1) Sat., 4:30 p.m., at Martin Stadium, Pullman, WA. Television: FOX in Pullman, which is also hosting ESPN’s “College GameDay” for the first time. Oregon (5-1, 2-1 Pac- 12) averages 43 points per game behind quarterback Justin Herbert and Washing- ton State (5-1, 2-1) averages 41.8 points behind Gardner Minshew. AP Photo/Thomas Boyd Oregon running back CJ Verdell scores the winning touchdown to beat Washington 30-27 on Oct. 13. Ducks coach Mario Cris- tobal is impressed with Min- shew, a graduate transfer who joined the Cougars in May from East Carolina. Minshew leads the nation with an average of 403 pass- ing yards per game. “I think his comple- tion percentage is at 68, 69 percent, something of that nature,” Cristobal said. “He’s going to have a lot of time to throw the ball so you got to stay relentless to him.” Here are other things to know when Oregon visits Washington State, which has won the last three against the Ducks: STEADY HERBERT: While Minshew has made a somewhat unexpected splash in his first season, Herbert is doing just what was expected of the steady junior. Herbert has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 21 games. Overall, he’s thrown for 1,613 yards and 17 touchdowns this sea- son, second to Minshew in the Pac-12, but he’s amaz- ingly accurate and ranks sev- enth nationally for passing efficiency (171.2). Against ranked teams, he’s complet- ing 70.8 percent for 1,509 yards and 11 TDs over the course of his Ducks career. RESTED COUGARS: The Cougars were off last week and haven’t played since a 56-37 win at Ore- gon State on Oct. 6, though maybe they would have preferred to keep playing. Washington State is just 1-5 coming out of the bye week under coach Mike Leach. The Cougars coach said his team worked this week to stay sharp on fundamentals. WELL-GROUNDED DUCK: Freshman CJ Ver- dell was named the Pac- 12’s Player of the Week on offense after rushing for 111 yards and a pair of touch- downs in Oregon’s 30-27 overtime win over Washing- ton last weekend. The Stanley Cup trophy is coming to the Tri-Cities By ANNIE FOWLER East Oregonian The most iconic trophy in sports will make an appear- ance in the Tri-Cities next week. Olie Kolzig, a former longtime goalie for the Washington Capitals, and now one of their develop- ment coaches, will bring the Stanley Cup to the Tri-Cities on Tuesday for fans to enjoy. Unlike others who brought the Cup to their hometowns, Kolzig, a former player and now co-owner of the Tri-City Americans, strayed from the norm. “If you look at it, I don’t really have a hometown,” Kolzig said. “I have lived in Florida the past 10 years, but Tri-Cities is as big a home- town as I have. With every- thing I have going on in the Tri-Cities, and the people I know, it made sense.” The Stanley Cup will begin its Tri-City journey at 10 a.m. at the Carson Kolzig Foundation in Kennewick, then make its way to Rich- land for a dinner at Meadow Springs Country Club. The dinner is $200 per person, but any anything above the overhead will be donated to the Carson Kolzig Foundation. Peo- ple also may make personal donations to the Foundation. The dinner, which will run from 6-9 p.m., will fea- ture a short program and an opportunity for photos. Kolzig, who played for the Stanley Cup with the Capitals in 1998, but came up short against Detroit, said winning the Cup as a player is extra special, but winning it as part of the staff is just as rewarding. “There is something about it,” he said. “But you don’t know what it is until you lift it over your head. When you win, you are part of a family. It’s extra spe- cial they put my name on the Cup. For them to honor me like that was very special.” After the Capitals won the Cup with a 4-1 series victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in June, the Cup was passed around to all the players and a team photo was taken. As Ovechkin was leaving the ice with the trophy, he spotted Kolzig, and handed him the Cup. The two played together for three years with the Captials, and became fast friends when Ovechkin first arrived in Washington. “He said, ‘Can you believe we did this,’” Kolzig said of his conversation with Ovechkin. “It was an awe- some moment. I don’t know if there is a player who has won the Cup that has shown as much joy as him.” The Stanley Cup is the oldest existing trophy awarded to a professional sports franchise. Teams first Photo courtesy of Olie Kolzig Olie Kolzig, right, raises the Stanley Cup after the Capi- tals beat the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Finals on June 7. became eligible to challenge for the Stanley Cup in 1906. The one-piece Cup is designed with a five-band barrel, which can hold up to 13 winning teams per band. Once the bottom band is full, the oldest band is removed and preserved in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and a new blank band is added to the bottom. The Washington Capi- tals are the only team on the newest band of the trophy, and Kolzig’s name is among those hand-engraved. “That’s what’s so great about it,” Kolzig said of the Cup. “Every letter is dif- ferent, and they way they squeeze everyone in there. This ring will be on there for a while. I will be long gone before that one comes off in 50 or 60 years.” EASTERN OREGON marketplace Place classified ads online at www.easternoregonmarketplace.com or call 1-800-962-2819 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
