A fairytale shouldn't end this way.
Where is the pot of gold, the brass ring, the last second shot to win a national championship? Instead, with their best season ever ending in a loss tonight, the 2025 Multnomah Lions return "home"to face a future badly out of focus. Not to worry...for this is a love story, not a fairy tale.
"Happily ever after" in a love story means the lasting memory of your connection goes with you wherever you go.
Soon, a dozen basketball players and two talented coaches will gather up their belongings from the ruins of disbanded athletic and academic programs. There will be only echoes coming from the shuttered gym that once housed their sweat and smiles.
They will soon depart this Portland, Oregon campus and scatter to the winds, leaving the tried and true to simmer in the stew-pot of something new.
The focus will return to their lives...
and the music from The Last Dance, The Last Lions, will play on forever.
This is a love story, I told you...not a fairy tale.
