Turner's Take: Family
Chris Cloutier scored a school and NCAA championship weekend record nine goals on Saturday.Sometimes in the press box (or on press row, depending on the sport), the focus is not so much on the game, but the game within the game. If someone is putting on a show, if an athlete is approaching a record performance, a murmur starts. Sportswriters don't give away their rooting interests, but they do root for a story. And when someone does something like what Chris Cloutier did, scoring nine goals in Carolina's 18-13 national semifinal win over Loyola, the score becomes almost secondary; all eyes are on that athlete.
"He's one away."
"He's open."
"He's got the ball."
"Look at that."
