Chavez, Shelley entering transfer portal, leaving
Ducks women’s team — Oregon is losing one of its best
guards and most veteran players, as well as one of its best
shooters. Taylor Chavez, who averaged 4.1 points, 2.1 assists
and 1.9 rebounds in 19 minutes over 19 games this season has
entered the transfer portal, according to a source with knowl-
edge of the situation. She’s the second player to announce
she’s leaving the Ducks this offseason, joining fellow guard
Jaz Shelley. Shelley, who averaged 4.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7
rebounds in 17.6 minutes through 22 games this season, an-
nounced Wednesday she’s entering the transfer portal.
Arizona parts ways with coach Miller — Arizona had
stuck by men’s basketball coach Sean Miller through an
NCAA infractions investigation that stretched nearly four
years. When the school didn’t extend his contract beyond next
season, it became clear a decision would need to be made. The
wait came to an end Wednesday when the school announced
Miller was leaving after 12 seasons and associate head coach
Jack Murphy will serve as interim head coach. Miller and the
Wildcats have been in the NCAA’s crosshairs since being en-
snared in a 2017 FBI investigation into shady recruiting prac-
tices. The case is currently going through the Independent
Accountability Resolution Process. Arizona issued a self-im-
posed postseason ban this year and finished 17-9 (11-9 Pac-12).
The school said it will honor the final year of Miller’s contract.

But once again, Summit
found itself in a hole in the
third set. Midway through the
set, sophomore outside hitter
Shannon MacCallum had a kill
that seemed to rejuvenate the
Storm. After the kill, Summit
closed the set on a 13-7 run to
win 25-21.
Summit once again rallied
late in the fourth set. With the
set tied at 15, the Storm closed
on a 10-4 run to win 25-19 and
force a fifth and final set.
In a way, the fifth set en-
compassed the entire match, as
Bend jumped out to a sizable
lead and Summit clawed its way
back into contention. But the
Bears hung on for the victory.
“It is never over until it is
over,” Waskom said. “That was
a good lesson that you are al-
ways going for. We made a
great comeback; a lot of teams
would fold there. I thought we
were fighters and feisty in set

MacCallum (8) and Harper Justema (14) attempt to block during Tues-
day night’s volleyball match at Bend High School.
five and that is something to be
proud of.”
After the match, players from
both teams met to chat with one
another and take photos. Some
players had tears in their eyes,
signifying the emotions that
come with both a hard-fought
victory and the pain of coming
up just short.
Then there was the realiza-
tion that it was going to be the
last time that several of these
players would compete against
each other. Many of the Bend
and Summit players have been
playing with and against one
another for most of their lives.
“Some of us have played to-
gether since third grade,” Arm-
strong said. “We are all leaving
and graduating and moving all
across the country. It is just a lot
going on right now.”
Tuesday night was the final
match of the shortened season
for Summit, which finished 6-3
overall and 4-2 in the Mountain
Valley Conference. Bend (9-1,
4-1) will conclude its stellar sea-
son Thursday night at home
against Mountain View.
“I love the energy that we
came out with,” Cooper said. “I
think knowing that this was our
last week, it is something that
we have been working on all
season, I was really happy to see
that. Our serve and serve return
were on point. And that is some-
thing you have to do against a
good team like Summit.”

Mariners’ Paxton, Fraley go on 10-day IL — The Seat-
tle Mariners placed left-handed starter James Paxton on the
10-day injured list Wednesday with a forearm strain in his
pitching arm. Seattle also put starting left fielder Jake Fra-
ley on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain he suffered
while making a diving catch in Tuesday’s loss to the Chicago
White Sox. Manager Scott Servais said both players under-
went MRIs on Wednesday morning and the team was still
awaiting results. Paxton left in the second inning after just 24
pitches, grimacing after throwing a 92 mph fastball. Seattle
recalled outfielder Braden Bishop and right-hander Ljay New-
some from its alternate training site to take the roster spots of
both players. Newsome will move into the bullpen and Nick
Margevicius will take Paxton’s spot in the starting rotation.
On Wednesday the Mariners used a seven-run sixth inning to
beat the White Sox 8-4 to avoid a series sweep. Seattle heads
out for its first road trip of the season to face the Minnesota
Twins beginning Thursday.

Masters
Continued from A5
Mickelson is a three-time
Masters champion and a wiz-
ard with the wedge. After his
second shot, he looked over at
DeChambeau and said, “Boy,
it’s tough when it’s dry.”
So much about the Masters
will be so different, minus ex-
pectations of the usual suspects
— a little more noise from at
least some spectators.
Johnson won the Saudi In-
ternational for his only victory
in six starts this year, though he
has been in a bit of a funk the
last month.
No one is suggesting the
green jacket he won in Novem-
ber should come with a foot-
note given the conditions. He
was that much better than ev-
eryone else.
But he won’t be hitting
5-iron to a left pin on the par-5
second hole for a tap-in eagle
like he did in the third round
in November, taking on pins
that were accessible in such
soft conditions. Johnson talked

Rory McIlroy tees off on the
fourth hole during a practice
round for the Masters on Wednes-
day in Augusta, Georgia.
about watching one player in
his room hit 3-wood to a left
pin on the 15th that landed
and stopped near the hole.
That’s out.
Jimmy Walker said no one
could hold a shot on the 15th.
He said he and McIlroy each
had irons into the 15th that
had no chance of staying there.
Masters Chairman Fred Rid-
ley is a past president of the
USGA, an organization sus-
pected of being very good at
payback.
Most notable was Johnny
Miller shooting 63 in the fi-
nal round to win the 1973
U.S. Open at Oakmont. The
next year, Hale Irwin won at
Winged Foot at 7-over par.
That’s the U.S. Open, with a
history of par being a winning
score, or not far from it.
The Masters can be bru-
tal when it’s brittle and windy
and cold. Zach Johnson won
in 2007 in those conditions at
1-over 289, though it was the
first time in more than 50 years
that no one broke par at the
Masters.
“The fact that Dustin was 20
under was a combination of his
extraordinary play that at the
same time, admittedly, the golf
course was soft,” Ridley said.
“So it was ready to be played
very well with a lot of red num-
bers. But that really had noth-
ing to do with how the golf
course is playing right now.
“I think we have the golf
course where we want it.”
It all starts Thursday morn-
ing with Lee Elder, the first
Black golfer to compete in the
Masters in 1975, joining Jack
Nicklaus and Gary Player for
the honorary tee shot. And
then the curtain rises on the
85th Masters, which should
feel like the Masters of old —
even if that’s only two years
ago.
Johnson was a runner-up to
Tiger Woods when the Mas-
ters was last held in April in
2019.
So was Xander Schauffele,
who thinks this year it might
be even “crazier.”
“When I say crazier, I mean
firmer and faster,” Schauffele
said, adding a few minutes
later, “I think every guy who
plays professionally is a little bit
of a masochist, so I’m here for
the torture.”
