A Grip on Sports

Monday saw a couple of clear winners, although it took longer than expected.

A series of significant events occurred on an hourly basis from Monday afternoon to early Tuesday morning, leaving one to wonder what the rest of the week will bring.

A scheduled one-hour hearing in a Spokane courtroom lasted over twice as long, setting off a chain of events. An 18th-inning home run ended the night just before midnight.

Tyon Grant-Foster had his day in court and was granted a preliminary injunction, allowing him to play for the Gonzaga men's basketball program in the upcoming season.

Spokane County Judge Marla Polin listened to arguments from Grant-Foster's attorneys, who detailed why the 25-year-old should be allowed to play this season, despite starting his college career seven years ago.
