    122. Maarty Leunen – Comfort Outside the Zone

    122. Maarty Leunen – Comfort Outside the Zone

    Farm land and the basketball court aren’t two things that commonly go together. Unless maybe you’re Ricky Roe from the 90's classic Blue Chips. Didn’t think you’d hear an obscure basketball movie references today did you? But for Maarty Leunen, the draw of small town living and farm land wasn’t enough to keep him off the court. His talents on the hardwood took him to Eugene, where he helped lead a plucky group of Ducks to the Elite Eight. Leunen spent over a decade as a professional basketball player overseas, experiencing everything the world had to offer. But now back home in Redmond, Oregon, Leunen is coaching high school basketball for the first time and passing along lessons he learned in his small farm town.

    This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is the former Ducks power forward Maarty Leunen…Comfort Outside the Zone.

    121. Scott McGough: Safe at Home

    121. Scott McGough: Safe at Home

    Scott McGough has always had plenty of people in his corner. His father, a former professional baseball player, helped guide him during his high school career. After getting drafted at 18-years-old, he decided to take his talents on the diamond to Eugene, where he formed a special bond with assistant Coach Andrew Checketts. He was urged to enter the MLB draft rather than come back to Oregon for his senior year by the coaching staff, knowing what was best for him. And after years of trades, an injury and battling in the minor leagues, McGough has earned his place on the Diamondbacks roster…a place he can finally call home.

    This is the Mighty Oregon podcast, and this is former Oregon pitcher & current big leaguer Scott McGough…Safe at Home.

    120. Jess Moore – Just a Small Town Girl

    Just a small town girl, livin’ in a…well, you know the rest. Jessica Moore comes from a town of less than 3,000 people where everybody knew each other and you could leave your doors unlocked at night.

A testament to her skill as well as her impact on the softball program.

    119. Jessica Drummond – It Just Feels Rights

    Jessica Drummond has always felt drawn to the game of lacrosse. She picked it up with her twin sister Jana on the East Coast, in New Hampshire, before eventually making her way West to Oregon. Once in Eugene, Drummond helped usher in a successful era for the young Ducks program. Drummond knew coaching was in her future, with a return to Eugene set as the dream job. That opportunity has presented itself this year and Drummond knew, just like when she picked up the game, it was the perfect fit.

    118. Tez Johnson – Walk by Faith

    118. Tez Johnson – Walk by Faith

    When you’re weathering the storm, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For Tez Johnson, growing up in a rough part of Birmingham, Alabama was his storm. And the light at the end of that tunnel ended up being a family with roots in Auburn but ended up in Eugene. Johnson was taken in by Bo Nix’s family in high school, where the two became brothers. Nix went to Auburn before transferring to Oregon while Johnson headed to Troy before making his way West this past season. After a record setting season in the yellow and green, Johnson has found firm footing with the storm now behind him.

    This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is Ducks receiver Tez Johnson…Walk by Faith.

    117. JJ Birden – Looking for a Chance

    It’s been said that in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. For proof of this statement, look no further than JJ Birden. A speedster out of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Birden ran track and field for the Ducks but wanted an opportunity to get on the football field. So he walked on…literally. How does someone with a single touchdown in his college career get drafted into the NFL? An opportunity. Birden would make that opportunity last eight years in the league, playing with some of the all-time greats. And it all comes back to seizing the moment…whether presented to you or not.

    This is the Mighty Oregon podcast and this is former Ducks wide receiver and hurdler, JJ Birden – Looking for a Chance.

I love this podcast and the interviews are great. But the volume level is much lower than other podcasts. Please increase the volume when recording.
