FOOTBALL
Brown leads Oregon offense so far in spring practices
— It’s Anthony Brown’s offense to lead so far and competition
at the top of the depth chart could increase in the second half
of Oregon’s spring practices. Ducks coach Mario Cristobal
said Brown, UO’s lone returning quarterback to have taken
a college snap, has taken all the snaps with the first team of-
fense through spring practices and Ty Thompson, Jay Butter-
field and Robby Ashford have rotated with the second team.
“After next Saturday (April 17) when we scrimmage is when
we’ll really start looking at how do the reps have to go going
forward,” Cristobal said. Oregon will have a regular practice
on Saturday, its first in full pads this spring, with some live
tackling at the end on special teams, Cristobal said.
OSU QBs short on numbers, big on opportunity as
spring practice opens — Oregon State has only three
quarterbacks participating this spring in sophomore Chance
Nolan and freshmen Ben Gulbranson and Sam Vidlak. The
Beavers are a little lean on quarterbacks until August, when
Tristan Gebbia, rehabbing from hamstring surgery, and a
couple walk-ons join the mix. There will be no shortage of op-
portunities for OSU’s three quarterbacks during the next five
weeks. “We’re all looking forward to the amount of reps that
we’re going to be getting,” Nolan said.
Woman alleges she was terrorized by assault from
Texans QB — The first woman to accuse Houston Texans
quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual assault and harassment
in a lawsuit spoke publicly on Tuesday, alleging she was terror-
ized by her encounter with the NFL player and that he needs to
be held accountable for his actions. During a news conference,
Ashley Solis said she was assaulted and traumatized when she
tried to give Watson a massage in March 2020. The Associated
Press usually does not name victims of sexual assault, but So-
lis has chosen to publicly identify herself. “I come forward now
so that Deshaun Watson does not assault another woman. …
I am seeking justice not just on behalf of myself but for all sur-
vivors. … This is about having my voice heard,” a tearful Solis
said as she read a statemen. Watson has been accused of sexual
assault or harassment in lawsuits filed by 22 women.
GOLF
Koepka hobbled, but plans to fight through at the
Masters — Less than a month removed from a March 16
surgery following a fall that left him with a dislocated right
kneecap and damaged ligament, Brooks Koepka is at Augusta
National — a course that isn’t exactly flat and definitely isn’t
one of the easier walks in golf. It’s not just his walking that
is affected. His putting is as well. Koepka can’t bend down
like he would normally, and there’s no getting around that.
Koepka hasn’t played a tournament since February because of
the injury.

Panthers
Continued from A5
“As the years have gone on
we have progressed really well,”
said senior defender Bella Bur-
gess. “It has been a great way to
finish off the high school years
for me.”
The growth of the program
could be seen in the coaching
staff. When Segura took over
five years ago, it was just her
and assistant Gayle Tompkins
on the staff. That two-person
staff has swelled to five, allow-
ing for more focused practices.
This year’s Redmond squad
is a blend of experience and
youth. The team includes nine
seniors, six juniors and no
sophomores. The rest of the
team is what Segura called a
“strong freshman class.”
Gonzaga
Continued from A5
“It’s a really tough one to end
a storybook season on, but lis-
ten, they just beat us in every
facet of the game tonight and
deserve all the credit,” said Few,
whose Bulldogs have lost in
the championship game twice
in the past four NCAA tour-
naments. “Obviously, we’re all
disappointed in here, but as I
told the guys — if you make
it this far and you’re 31-0 go-
ing into the last one, the last 40
minutes of the season, there’s
absolutely nothing that you
should ever feel bad about.”
The Zags’ emotions after
Monday’s game stood in stark
contrast to what they felt two
nights earlier. Their three-
point win over UCLA in the
national semifinal — capped
by a 40-foot buzzer-beater by
freshman Jalen Suggs — will
go down as one of the greatest
games in college hoops history.
But one has to wonder if the
euphoria Gonzaga experienced
Saturday translated into leth-
argy in the title game.
It’s not just that Baylor (28-
2) was making its outside shots
As freshman like Jillian Bre-
mont (six goals) and Char-
risse Wedding (five goals) have
injected some offense to go
along with top scorer and ju-
nior Dagne Harris (12 goals),
the Panthers have scored more
goals in nine games than they
have in six of the past seven
seasons. Now, the Panthers
will try to continue a season
that just a few short years ago
seemed unattainable.
“The seniors have seen it all,
from losing 11-0 against Sum-
mit to now beating Ridgeview,”
Segura said. “They have that
experience and they have
helped the freshmen join us.
It has been exciting to see that
culture develop the past couple
of weeks.”

“The word that comes to my mind is grateful. I’m so grateful
for being able to wear this name on my chest. So grateful to
all the people who made the season happen in Spokane. So
grateful for our guys for sticking with it through the very end.”
— Corey Kispert, Gonzaga senior forward
(it hit 10 of its 23 three-point-
ers as Gonzaga went 5 for 17),
it’s that it out-rebounded the
Zags 38-22. It’s not just that
the Bears were getting what-
ever they wanted offensively
— forcing Few to switch from
man to zone then back to man
again — it’s that they forced 14
turnovers while committing
just nine.
There was a moment of
hope for the Zags when they
went into halftime down 10 af-
ter cutting into a 19-point defi-
cit. Then, Baylor’s Jared Butler
knocked down 3-pointers on
consecutive possessions. There
was another moment in which
the Zags got the lead down to
nine with 14:30 to go. Then
came a layup from Mark Vital,
two free throws from Butler,
a jumper from MaCio Teague
and a three-pointer from
Adam Flagler.
Simply put: The flipping of
the switch was never going to
happen. It was clear who had
the better squad. As Charles
Barkley said of the Zags after
the game: “They couldn’t beat
that team.”
Not only was that Gonzaga’s
first loss of the season, it was its
first loss since February 22 of
2020 (BYU), about three weeks
before the NCAA tournament
was canceled. And that BYU
loss was the first loss for the
Zags since they fell to Mich-
igan in November of 2019.
Gonzaga had won 62 of its pre-
vious 64 games before Mon-
day night, and senior Corey
Kispert admitted — the feeling
was unusual.
“You kind of forget, you re-
ally do forget what it’s like to
lose, and every time it doesn’t
feel good. And thankfully I ha-
ven’t had very many of them,”
said Kispert, the Edmonds,
Washington, native and
All-American who scored 12
points Monday.
“But when you go up against
a team like that, that’s just fir-
ing on all cylinders for 40 min-
utes, it’s really hard to compete
with.”
Still, despite the heartache,
Kispert maintained perspec-
tive.
How would you encapsulate
this season? a reporter asked.
“The word that comes to
my mind is grateful,” said the
senior. “I’m so grateful for be-
ing able to wear this name on
my chest. So grateful to all the
people who made the season
happen in Spokane. So grate-
ful for our guys for sticking
with it through the very end.
A lot of the days weren’t easy,
there were a lot of really tough
ones. But looking back this has
been by far the most special six
months of my life.”
It was special for all those
who got to watch, too — for
both the fans they had and the
fans they gained. But as they
say, you can’t win ’em all — and
this one, frankly, seemed like it
couldn’t be won.
