On the sidelines: Camas basketball at the Moda Center

The view of One Center Court from press row was incredible for this small town sports reporter.

I can only imagine what it felt like to make a basket.

So I asked Camas High School basketball players Jordan Anderson, Trevor Jasinksy and Jordan Lenard after their game against Columbia Christian Friday, at the Moda Center.

“I got to play the game I love with my best friends on the biggest stage in basketball,” Jasinsky said.

Anderson, Jasinsky and Nick Lopes each delivered 10 points for the Papermakers. Lenard nailed a 3-pointer and finished the game with six points. Jasinsky stole the ball and dunked it through the hoop in one sequence. It would not be enough for Camas, as Columbia Christian won 76-50.

But still, the opportunity to dribble the ball on the same hardwood that the Portland Trail Blazers play on is unforgettable to these Papermakers.

“This is memory we will always share,” Lenard said. “We got to play in the Moda Center, walk through the same halls and be in the same locker room as NBA players.”

Bryant Elliott and Tye Lommasson advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Pacific Coast Championships Friday, at Hudson’s Bay High School.
