SPORTS BRIEFING
COLLEGE BASEBALL
Beavers surge in rankings — The Oregon State Beavers,
who entered the season out of the Top 25, surged into the
rankings in three major college baseball polls on Monday fol-
lowing a dominant 10-day run in Arizona. The Beavers de-
buted at No. 19 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, No. 20 in the
D1Baseball.com Top 25 and No. 21 in the Collegiate Baseball
Top 30. They remain unranked in the Baseball America Top
25. The Beavers (7-1), who on Sunday completed a 10-day,
eight-game season-opening trip in Arizona, have won seven
in a row, their longest winning streak since opening with 10
victories to start the 2019 season. Oregon State has outscored
opponents 61-15. The pitching staff has been especially impres-
sive, allowing two or fewer runs in six of eight games, boasting
a Pac-12 Conference-best 1.62 ERA and recording 74 strike-
outs this season. Oregon State opens a three-game home stand
Thursday against Brigham Young in its opener.
PAC-12 SOFTBALL
Oregon’s Brooke Yanez named pitcher of the week
— Oregon’s Brooke Yanez was named Pac-12 pitcher of the
week for her play in leading the Ducks to a win over then-No. 1
UCLA and a save against Utah on Sunday in Tempe, Arizona.
Yanez struck out 10 while giving up one run on six hits and a
walk in a complete game win over the Bruins. She retired 11
straight at one point and ended the 3-1 Ducks win with back-
to-back bases-loaded strikeouts. The Ventura, California, na-
tive struck out six in three innings of relief to earn the save in a
7-2 win over the Utes. Yanez (4-0, 1.93 ERA) has 46 strikeouts
to only four walks over 28 innings this season.

COLLEGE
TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY — Named Kur Schmidt foot-
ball’s director of competition development.
“I want to keep doing
what I’ve been doing and
keep giving kids hope that
anything they do is possible.
Just because you go to HBCU
or a small school, that
doesn’t necessarily mean
you don’t have a chance to
make it.”
Covington
“That’s a big confidence
boost for me,” Covington said.
Damian Lillard said when
Covington is active on defense,
he makes the Blazers a better
team. But when his shot is also
falling, he makes them dan-
gerous.
When teams attempt to dou-
ble Lillard, he said it’s huge to
have Covington help pick up
the slack by making shots.
“I think tonight, him mak-
ing shots and him being all
over the place, the way he was
rebounding the ball, I think it
was a huge part of why we won
the game,” Lillard said.
Players have been looking
forward to the All-Star break,
which begins Friday. But Cov-
ington’s rest and relaxation will
be disrupted by his partici-
pation in the Skills Challenge
during the NBA All-Star week-
end in Atlanta.

on Monday.
Universities during the week-
end. Covington, out of Ten-
nessee State, is the only NBA
player from an HBCU.
“That’s the reason why I
had to do it,” Covington said.
Oregon State plays a
traditional schedule, with
its three non-conference
games coming first,
followed by Pac-12 play.
The Beavers face Hawaii
on Sept. 11 and Idaho on
Sept. 18 at home. OSU
opens conference play on
the road against USC, a
team it hasn’t faced since
2018.
The conference misses on
OSU’s schedule are Arizona
and UCLA. Oregon State’s
bye is Oct. 16.
Game times and television
partners will be released at a
later date.
The Beavers are coming off
a 2-5 season that was short-
ened by the pandemic. In its
last full season, Oregon State
went 5-7 in 2019.
OSU enters its fourth year
under coach Jonathan Smith,
who is 9-22 during his Bea-
vers tenure.

now. For them to come to me
and to highlight what they’re
planning on doing, and me

HBCU in the NBA, it’s only

Oregon will play at UCLA
on Oct. 23, which will be the
first time Chip Kelly gets to
host his former team at the
Rose Bowl after losing the
meetings against the Ducks at
Autzen in 2018 and 2020.
The Ducks’ other Pac-12
road games are at Stanford
(Oct. 2) and Utah (Nov. 20).
After a bye week, Oregon
hosts California on Friday,
Oct. 15. The Bears defeated
the Ducks 21-17 last season in
Berkeley, Calif.
Mario Cristobal hired defen-
sive coordinator Tim DeRuyter
and safeties coach Marcel Yates
away from Cal in the offsea-
son. Keith Heyward left Ore-
gon to join Justin Wilcox’s staff
at Cal.
The Ducks’ other Pac-12
home game is against Wash-
ington State on Nov. 13. Ore-
gon won last year’s meeting 43-
29 in Pullman, Wash.
Oregon’s nonconference
schedule, which was previ-
ously announced, begins with
the opener on Sept. 4 against
Fresno State. DeRuyter was
right that I do it. It’s a great op-
portunity.”
Covington said he hopes
children will use him as an ex-
ample of someone who made it
to the NBA from an HBCU.
“I want to keep doing what
I’ve been doing and keep giv-
ing kids hope that anything
they do is possible,” he said.
“Just because you go to HBCU
or a small school, that doesn’t
necessarily mean you don’t
have a chance to make it.”
