No. 21 WSU soccer (2-0) was nearly held at home by the visiting Grand Canyon University in a tight match, but was finally able to break through in the opening min- utes of overtime to win the game 1-0. The Cougs domi- nated the encounter but were frustrated by a resolute GCU defense throughout regulation time. WSU opened the game Sunday in the same hungry and aggressive manner it did against Seattle University on Friday, pushing the ball up the field to mount the pressure on GCU.

rom high school ball on Florida’s southern shores to playing at a junior college in FIndependence, Kansas, it seems fit- ting that the next stop for junior wide receiver Calvin Jackson Jr. and soph- omore safety Chad Davis Jr. would be on the opposite side of the country from where they started their football journey. Fitting, because football has a funny way of giving all sorts of won- derful opportunities to the athletes who endure never-ending adversity. And Jackson and Davis would be the first ones to tell you about it in a unique way — say, being a part of the Netflix original series “Last Chance U,” a reality TV show that follows a junior college football or JUCO pro- gram. As a duo, their story is quite remarkable in the sense that they are two completely different individuals yet they have never been farther apart than the distance that separates their hometowns in Florida. Jackson, a very outgoing personal- ity, characterized being on camera all the time as “a once in a lifetime thing,” while Davis, who is much more reserved, didn’t like being in front of the cameras at all. “It was a great opportunity, and I seized it,” Jackson said about being heavily featured on “Last Chance U”. “Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of the cameras,” Davis said. “I tried to stay away from the cameras, I went to JUCO on a business trip, not to get some type of clout or notoriety off of Last Chance U.” Both Jackson and Davis were blindsided by the news that they were about to become reality TV stars. For Jackson, the show was shot in his second year at Independence Community College in Kansas and when he received word that Netflix chose his school, he couldn’t have been more thrilled. “We were pretty excited about it,” Jackson said about going through the selection process of “Last Chance U”. “They came in during the summer to interview us and we were one of the seven schools, so at first we thought we weren’t going to get it, and then we got the call a few weeks later that they selected us, and that was just crazy. Everyone was excited.” But for Davis, the news came just OLIVER MCKENNA | THE DAILY EVERGREEN after he made the decision to come to Sophomore safety Chad Davis Jr., left, and junior wide receiver Calvin Jackson Jr., right, both played Indy nine days before its report date. for Independence CC last season, and were a part of the Netflix documentary series “Last Chance U.” “When I got there, they told me
