For the second straight season, the Wildcats are 9-1 with their only regular season…

Sherrell has been…
The biggest upset state wide last week came at the hands of the Glencoe Crimson Tide, after traveling to traditional CVC power West Salem (8-1) and grabbing a 49-34 win over a good Titan team. Head coach Steve Jones has done an outstanding job of getting his guys to focus on the task at hand, which showed in last Friday’s big upset. Time and time again 1st…
Click For Dillon Sugg Highlights Coming into 2013, the Wenatchee Panthers were the overwhelming favorite to win the Big-9 Conference. When all was said and done, they did just that. A big reason has been the play of Senior QB Dillon Sugg (6’5″ 215). With one of the state’s top recruits, Isaiah Brandt-Sims, being the main offensive focus, Sugg has managed thus far to throw for over…

O’Dea has been one of the hottest teams in the state this year and one reason their defense has been so strong is because of the play of DT Jarius McDade.

Entering the 2nd round of the playoffs this week, the Lakeridge Pacers are one of the better 6A teams in Oregon. They have had a tough last five years going (15-34) from 2007-2012. Cross-town rival Lake Oswego has been one of the most dominant teams in the Northwest over the same time period, making it that much tougher to swallow. That said things have changed as the Pacers…
Some people consider Lake Oswego (5-6) to be down this year and from a record stand point that may be true. What people don’t necessarily realize is the ridiculously tough schedule that they have played and the close losses that they have had.
