Fun times with the girls tonight bouncing between Stayton and Sprague after they got done with school. Still running all over the place after 8 years. Crazy ride so far doing it now with two kids and Natalie starting sports this past school year and Liv being a hyper infant haha
All this work I do, running to games and covering them, I do for free (seriously) for this main reason: the kids deserve it that I rather do it for free cause that's how much I care. I may not be the best, but I'm always out here grinding doing the best I can.
Kid

I kindly disagree w/ the OSAA for giving this guy a pass over tweets like this from the Spring while ignoring the tweet I had posted overnight involving Baker HS BBall 1A State blocking the only ADA ramp out of the gym for my wheelchair-bound wife which they unfollowed me over
Got to see my mom and sister today and left a picture of Natalie's ultrasound with them. I think my sister Tamara approved of me using her middle name for Natalie.
STATE CHAMPS!

I've never saw a kid wear flannel during 7-on until I saw Santiam's QB (I didn't catch his name) wearing it during today's 7-on at Woodburn Tuesday haha

A Regis parent took this picture at the end of the District Meet today while I was talking to an athlete next to her. 5 hours of covering Track and pulling double duty with a tired three-year-old. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Chemeketa Freshman and Crescent Valley-grad Ethan Krupp will get a crack at making his hometown team this summer once, and hopefully when, the Corvallis Knights tip off the season here in a few weeks.

The thing I liked about last night's Sheridan-Santiam game that it was a old fashion battle. Not any of this spread offense, juking you outta your cleats. Nope it was a old fashion buckle it your chinstrap & bring your lunch pail to work day. We need more of that in HS FB again
Small world. As some of you know, I had an older sister who passed on with she was 9-years-old (I was nine months old). I did a story 2yrs ago talking about how she passed and asking ppl to slow down in School zones. Got this tonight on it.

This is awesome. Every time I went to North the last two years Daniel always talks to me and ask me on a few occasions when's the next time I'm gonna interview him. Gonna miss seeing him in the dugout next year.

@salemkeizer
Santiam made this catch earlier today in their win over Western Christian, but I know somewhere there's a baseball coach cringing over the fact there is a shortstop that far into Left Field lol
Coos Bay is easily the best place for the State Tournament. I'm heading out there tomorrow for the evening games, first time heading back to cover some of the 3A Games since Knat was born in mid-2018.
The McKay Boys basketball team snapped their 52-game losing skid with their 62-53 win over West Albany Thursday. Their last win was February 9, 2018, a 90-83 win over Sprague.

Until you apologize for glaring at Knat at Stayton-Cascade softball game in 2021 and popping a squat in front of her at the Cascade Wrestling Tournament to try to get me to react shut the fuck up about me. Boss baby is in charge. Not you.
Congrats to Dallas' Zoe Whitlow on being named to the Team USA Softball team that'll be heading to Australia next year to play following her First Team All-State Honors this past season for the Dragons softball team as a Junior.
