Boise State: Cinderella story or ugly step sister?

9 years ago The Eagle Online

Boise has been considered the Cinderella story for the past 3 or 4 years, ever since they beat Oklahoma in 2007. People watch them and want them to win to prove that the little non-BCS team can keep up with the big boys.
This year wasn’t supposed to be any different. In the fact they were supposed to go undefeated. After a tough game against Virginia Tech where they pulled out the win, the rest of the season looked manageable. But there was a certain Wolfpack team that would not let the Broncos run free.

Women earn first win

With a tough preseason start, the College of Eastern Utah Lady Eagles finally found the right rhythm and put together 4-2 record.
The Eagles traveled to Northern Wyoming and Salt Lake before getting their first home game. Head Coach Dave Paur said, “We have lots of freshmen. It takes freshmen longer to adjust to competition. It takes them longer to find their tempo.” This year’s team is young and has five-experienced sophomores. Therefore, it is taking a little more time to find the right pace for the team.

Besides being a complete sports addict and, yes, I admit that with pride, I love watching movies. One of my favorite movies happens to be about nine young men and their quest to retrieve a baseball signed by Babe Ruth that got hit into a backyard that neighbors the sandlot. There is only one little hitch, the backyard that the ball is in happens to be the home of a monstrous “beast.” Because of the ferocity of this animal, the young men can’t just hop the fence and get it, but they must try elaborate schemes and ideas to retrieve the ball.

In basketball there are five positions on the court. The point guard: the quarterback and the brains of the basketball court. The shooting guard: the person that no matter the pressure they can make points under any circumstance. The forward/guard, also known as the no. three position: this person is your gunner and needs to be quick. The power forward, your first post player: This person should be strong, a hard worker, have the ability to muscle people around, and shoot the J as well. Then there is the center: the last line of defense and the “big man” on the court.
