SPORTS BRIEFING BASEBALL Elks game moved to 7:35 p.m. due to heat — Due to the heatwave that has brought record-high temperatures across the Northwest, the Bend Elks moved the start time for Wednesday’s game against the Corvallis Knights at Vince Genna Stadium. Originally scheduled for 6:35 p.m., the game will be moved to 7:35 p.m., when the temperature is expected to drop into the low 90s, the Elks organization announced. Those who attend the game will be allowed to bring sealed water bottles and electrolyte drinks into the stadium. The new policy will last through Sunday. Tuesday night’s game was also moved to 7:35 p.m. For more information, visit bendelks.com. Skaggs’ family sues Angels, 2 employees for negli- gence — The family of former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs filed lawsuits Tuesday in Texas and California charging the team and two former employees with negligence in his drug-related death two years ago. The lawsuits — filed by Skaggs’ parents in Texas and his wife in California — name the Angels organization as well as former Los Angeles communications directors Tim Mead and Eric Kay as defen- dants. Skaggs, 27, was found dead in his suburban Dallas ho- tel room on July 1, 2019, before the start of what was supposed to be a four-game series against the Texas Rangers. Kay was indicted by a federal grand jury in October on drug charges for allegedly providing Skaggs with the drugs that caused his overdose death. Kay was charged with drug distribution and drug conspiracy in Skaggs’ overdose death, according to the indictment in Fort Worth, Texas. The charges carry a max- imum of a life sentence and 20 years in prison, respectively. His trial is set to begin Aug. 16. GOLF PGA Tour to end COVID-19 testing after 50 official events — The PGA Tour began requiring COVID-19 tests more than a year ago when it returned to competition amid the pandemic. It will have overseen testing at 50 official PGA Tour events when the program ends next month. The final PGA Tour event for testing — not including the majors — will be the Barbasol Championship on July 15-18. CYCLING Cav is back! Cavendish posts 31st Tour de France stage win — In October last year, Mark Cavendish posted an in- significant 74th place at the Belgian classic Gent-Wevelgem. Depressed and dejected, the sprinter from the Isle of Man suggested in an emotional post-race interview it could well have been his final race. On Tuesday at the Tour de France, the tears of sadness made way for those of happiness after the “Manx Missile” posted a 31st stage win at cycling’s big- gest event. “Just being here is special enough. I didn’t think I would ever get to come back to this race,” said Cavendish, the greatest sprinter in the race’s history. HOCKEY Oilers’ McDavid unanimous choice as NHL MVP — Ed- monton Oilers captain Connor McDavid ran away in the vot- ing to win his second Hart Trophy as NHL MVP on Tuesday. McDavid became just the second unanimous Hart selection — joining Wayne Gretzky in 1982 — in receiving all 100 first- place votes from members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. McDavid doubled up on honors by also winning his third Ted Lindsay Award as the league’s most outstanding player, which is voted on by players. Vegas’ Marc-Andre Fleury won his first Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s goalie of the year. New York Rangers’ Adam Fox won the Jack Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman, and Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov won the Calder Memorial Trophy as rookie of the year. — Bulletin wire reports MEGA MILLIONS The numbers drawn Tuesday night are: 7 38 50 52 69 21 x 3 Oregon Lottery results The estimated jackpot is now $61 million.

I had no idea how little I knew about that until this year.” Continued from A5 “As a coach I always prided myself on being able to roll with the punches, deal with adversity and to take things as they came my way,” Johnson said. “I had no idea how little I knew about that until this year. “This last year and a half taught me to be more resilient … taught me to plan better, and to appreciate the things that I hold dear to me. Because so much of what we had was taken away and could have all been gone in an instant.” All eyes were on the Gov- ernor’s office and the offices of the Oregon Health Author- ity to make their decisions on whether or not sports could be played. The decisions from the state offices were often viewed as reactionary, and the OSAA had little say in the matter. Football, initially, could not be played, until the decision by the OSAA in early Feb- ruary to move forward with non-contact football per the OHA guidelines was met with backlash. It was announced two days later that full-contact football could be played. Masks had to be worn during outdoor competitions, the state ruled. That was un- til Summit’s Maggie Williams collapsed at the finish line of an 800-meter run in late April. Within a week, the mask rule for outdoor sports was changed. Even as restrictions began to loosen and the pandemic started to fade, the Bend High girls basketball squad, and all of La Pine High School, were sent into quarantine.

McNary defeated Bend 59-45 in the final game of the season for the Lava Bears. “It’s been a vicious roller coaster that I can’t seem to get off of,” said Bend High girls basketball coach Allison Gard- ner moments after finding out her team’s already delayed and shortened season would be even shorter and more de- layed. It was a year of resilience, when high school athletes were told “no,” to “hold tight,” and to simply wait. And wait. And wait. “Kicking the can down the road,” became a common phrase used among the high school sports circle as key start times came and went with little back what is rightfully theirs: their name, their image, their likeness. This should have been done a long time ago. It should have come from the NCAA and our universities. This is just the beginning. We must keep working to make sure our college athletes are treated fairly.” University and athletics leadership at the University of Oregon, Oregon State Univer- sity, University of Portland and Portland State University all issued statements in support of SB 5 following its amending to removing a controversial pro- vision that called for college athletes to receive royalty pay- ments from school’s merchan- dising deals. Efforts for federal NIL leg- islation, which was the prefer- ence of the NCAA and most all conference commissioners and athletic directors, stalled in Congress in recent weeks due to differences between the parties as to the scope of the changes to what teams and ath- letes could and could not do. Once the green light was given, it was full-speed ahead — but with limited practices, overlapping seasons, non-tra- ditional schedules and in most cases no postseason. Still, most athletes adapted to the adversity. “Our kids came out and they played every game like it could be their last because they never knew when something could be taken away,” said Moun- tain View football coach Brian Crum after concluding an un- defeated season in early April. And now, less than two months away from the start of yet another school year, high school sports are on the path to returning to normal. Fall schedules are posted on the OSAA’s website — with the regular amount of games, against the regular league op- ponents. “Our start dates and so forth … it’s a pretty typical calendar for us,” Weber said. “We are planning on returning to nor- mal this fall.” e Reporter: 541-383-0307, brathbone@bendbulletin.com bill, though a national measure could still be enacted. “It would be helpful if there was some guidance nationally that we all knew what the pa- rameters were as opposed to 50 patchwork state laws, but we will be prepared for what- ever state we’re in from a rule development or federal legisla- tion on July 1,” Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens told The Oregonian earlier this month. “We all have to be prepared and we will be prepared.”
