SPORTS
MEMORIES:
the clincher: That omen our
coach mentioned? He was
right.
If you look at the bus
ride as a metaphor for
the game, it makes way
too much sense to be a
coincidence. We took off at
the same time, they pulled
away, we sort of came
back, they pulled away
further at the end, and then
we somehow won.
It was a game and a
memory I’ll never forget,
and when I’m with
some of those guys, the
conversation organically
moves that direction. It was
so rawly emotional and
inescapably amazing that
we still talk about it like it
just happened. I can still
see the throw to third and
the look on the shortstop’s
face when it went high.
I can still see our guy
popping up at third, trying
WR¿QGWKHEDOODQGMXVW
running home because why
the heck not?
The point of this column
isn’t just to ramble about
what I’ve seen, however.
I want to know what
you’ve seen. I want
to know what sports
experiences you’ve had
that are similar to this story
I just told: a moment you’ll
never forget and a feeling
you’ll never lose. Send me
an email or post something
on our Facebook page
telling a story!
I’m not quite sure yet
where we’ll go with this
project, but I want to
hear your experiences.
Were you on the winning
football team? Write about
it and tell us. Were you
a fan of that Hermiston
basketball team that played
La Salle in Corvallis a few
weeks ago? Tell us your
experience. I’m hoping
to get some different
perspectives and see things
from a different angle.
