SPORTS MAIL.Byline: The Register-Guard Same old story Last year I wrote a letter to Sound Off regarding Brandi Davis and her limited playing time. Once again, I'm wondering why a 2005 two-time Pac-10 player of the week is still not getting any playing time. And now, add Kristen Forristall (an all-Pac-10 freshman) to the mix. If losing to Stanford was due to poor defense on Candace Wiggins, or because of failure to handle the press, why not at least give Brandi and Kristen a chance to show they could have been a factor, both offensively and defensively? It would be nice, also, if the coaching staff could give us, the paying public, a reason for the bench sitting that is understandable.

Brandi Davis has proven herself to be an excellent player while at Oregon. She ranks third on Oregon's all-time list for three-pointers, last year was Pac-10 player of the week twice (only two other Oregon players have been awarded this honor) and can bring life to the game when she comes on the court with her speed and quickness. Kristen Forristall played at Oregon City There are two places named Oregon City in the United States:
And let's remember that Oregon had a senior all-American, Shaquala Williams, who was kicked off the team. It is very interesting that all this talent available to the Oregon program has not been put to use, as all three of these players can light up the scoreboard and are go-to players. You have to wonder why, so let's look elsewhere other than the players.

He was born in Nassau. Johnson played a number of Second XI matches for Worcestershire from 1969 onwards (and a single game for Northamptonshire . He didn't seem to be a real "Duck" - that positive player we are so used to seeing at Mac Court. As I followed the reports of his discipline issues, I could only hope he would make the right choices. As I watched the Ducks celebrate their victory over Arizona, I was so pleased to see the joy on Ivan's face. He finally experienced what being a Duck is all about - playing together as a team even when the odds may be against you and triumphing in front of the loyal fans at Mac Court.

This is a great example of someone taking advantage of a second chance. SUZANNE TAYLOR Springfield CAPTION(S): SPORTS MAIL |
