Congratulations to all the kids who were selected to NEI’s first annual 6A ALL STATE TEAM. The selections were based on the credentials of the athletes season and not the overall projection of the player. Nothing is perfect, but we did our best to cover all kids that were deserving. Anybody making an all state team should feel very rewarded as you will see some conference players of the year,…
by Taylor Barton Eric Lemke Courtesy of Fox Sports As I sat at my computer putting the finishing touches on an article about Trent Sewell, a receiver out of Bothell HS who just recently committed to Wyoming, my phone buzzed. I checked to see who the message was from and it was Eric Lemke, the 2-way standout TE/DE from Issaquah HS in Washington. The message read: “TB, I just committed…
by Taylor Barton Trent Sewell Courtesy of Fox Sports At NEI, we don’t read about a recruit committing to a school on another website then write that story on ours and claim we’re bringing breaking news. We’ll leave that to the sites that charge money and need to try to keep up appearances. Instead, we receive calls from kids who inform us 1st that they’ve been offered to, or committed…
Their overall record didn’t show it (3-7), but the Putnam Kingsmen got a lot better over the 2011 season. The addition of Head Coach Brad Lewman is something so big it can’t fully be appreciated right now. Lewman where’s his heart on his sleeve and the players love him for it.. “I could see that the kids bought in to what we were doing and I think we got a…
One of Oregon’s top ranked junior quarterbacks went off in 2011, and he looks to be the guy that Marist will lean on to get them back to a state title game in 2012. Smith transferred from Willamette after his sophomore year and made a home for himself on a team that wasn’t challenged most of the season. Smith threw 46 Tds to 8 Ints for 2,699 yards with a…
Here is a list of the top kids from Oregon still available who have not yet committed. This is a coaches guide to the top prospects in the state.

Oregon’s breakout performer of the year was none other then Tanner Shipley of Wilsonville. The 6-2 195 pound junior athlete took the Northwest Oregon Conference by storm earning all league honors on both sides of the ball. The first half of 2011 season saw Shipley miss time with an injury and not be able to fully get going. The second half of the season saw Shipley break the school record…

As the regions leader in breaking news we are happy to report first that Jayshawn Jordan (5-10 180 Sr. CB) from ODea High School received his first offer early today from Divison 1aa National Champion Eastern Washington. Jordan was one of our feature athletes when the creation of “Top Athletes No Offers” came about. It was kids like Jayshawn that made a category such as this make so much sense….
