JORDAN JOHNSON PICKS- Oregon 6a/5a
6A Top 10
(0-2) Canby @ #1 Jesuit (2-0) – (Jesuit 47 Canby 13)… Whats crazy is that Canby is a good football team that will still be able to vie for a conference title, but their schedule is ridiculous.. After doing the broadcast for the Jesuit game last week I would say they are as good, if not better then advertised
2-0) #2 Sheldon @ S.Eugene (0-2) – (Sheldon 60 S.Eugene 0)..Short and sweet, over by half..The Irish will not be challenged within the conference by anyone other then S Medford.
(1-1) Lakeridge @ #3 Aloha (2-0) – (Aloha 48 Lakeridge 21) … The Pacers are a much improved football team, but Aloha is firing on all cylinders and their line is dominant. Look for Tyner to go off again.
(1-1) #5 Central Catholic @ #4 Lake Oswego (2-0) – (CC 26 Lake O 24) .. Honestly a toss up. Lake O is one of the most respected programs anywhere in the NW, but I question what the offense will do against a good D.. CC needs to cut out the mistakes if they want to win any big ball games.
(1-1) #6 Tigard @ Glencoe (2-0) – (Tigard 48 Glencoe 13) … Glencoe hasn’t played anybody and Tigard is super legit.. Look for them to put this away early
(2-0) #7 S.Medford @ Thurston (0-2) – (S.Medford 35 Thurston 17)… S.Medford’s D is tough and they should be able to handle the Colts.. Thurston battled but lost 44-35 to West Salem last week.
(0-2) Hillsboro @ #8 Century (2-0) – (Century 56 Hillsboro 7)… The game will be over by half, but Sam Riddle says they are going to treat this like the conference championship
(2-0) Sprague @ #6 (5a) Mt View (1-1) – (Sprague 34 Mt View 28)… Very tough game to call as Mt View played a tough Century team to the wire last week losing 50-45. This could go either way, but Sprague is good.
(0-2) Forest Grove @ #10 Tualatin (2-0) – (Tualatin 41 Forest Grove 14)… Tualatin’s D showed up and played lights out against a good Southridge team. That said the offense is still suspect, but the win shouldn’t be difficult

(1-1) Hermiston @ #1 Sherwood (2-0) – (Sherwood 51 Hermiston 14).. Sherwood has shown that they are the real deal and it will take a certain type defense to stop them. Hermiston isn’t a bad team, but the Bowmen are really good.
(1-1) #2 Wilsonville @ Parkrose (2-0) – (Wilsonville 45 Parkrose 17).. Wilsonville gets talented QB/S Nick Highberger back, and they should blast a Bronco team that managed to get a couple W’s early.
(1-1) Ashland @ #3 Marist (1-1) – (Marist 42 Ashland 20)… Look for coach Geske to have his guys prepared after the Spartans lost their first regular season game in the last 4 years a week ago. Josh Harper continues to look good for Marist
(1-1) #4 Crescent Valley @ #5 West Albany (2-0) – (Crescent Valley 35 West Albany 33)… Maybe the most important game for CV in a matter of years. This contest alone will dictate their season, and you can bet top LB’s Tanner Fiez and Jacob Bucher will be all over Jake LaCoste. Whether or not they can stop him is a different story, but this is the biggest opportunity they have ever had. The CV D line needs to step up and this is the game OR’s #1 Jr recruit Tanner Sanders has been waiting for.
(2-0) #8 (6a) Sprague @ #6 Mt View (1-1) – (Sprague 34 Mt View 28).. See Above
(2-0) #10 Eagle Point @ #7 Churchill (2-0) – (Churchill 31 Eagle Point 21)… Outstanding contest down in Eugene where the Lancers actually get to play somebody. Churchill shouldn’t have a problem, but EP is decent and should provide a test.
(2-0) #8 Silverton @ Dallas (1-1) – (Silverton 35 Dallas 10)… The Silverton D showed up and shut out a good Bend team last week 27-0, and are still very young.. Expect the Foxes to roll
(2-0) #9 Redmond @ Hood River (2-0) – (Redmond 31 Hood River 30).. Anybody’s ballgame here. Hood River has some good misdirection, but Redmond has 30 seniors and some talented all league kids returning so I will give them the nod.
