** Below you will see a brief overview of the top kids in Oregon for the 2016 class. We are currently releasing the 2015 positional rankings and the 2016 will follow. No list is perfect and kids will be missed so feel free to chime in if you know of an athlete that may be deserving, based on what they have done thus far in their varsity career. All feedback is appreciated as…
One of the top games state wide during the play in round will come when Eagle Point (5-4) travels to Wilsonville (6-3) in a matchup of 5A top 10 type teams. Wilsonville had a clutch 17-14 come from behind win against Sandy last week, after blasting Liberty 45-7 the week before. They will be led by NWOC Player of the Year candidate Derek Sunkle and an outstanding…
Its always good to see families rally around their kids especially when they are doing great things on and off the field. The Banks family takes a humble approach and enjoys watching their three boys on the grid iron. Recently I was able to take a trip to Snow junior college (Ephraim, Utah) with Fred and Jill Banks, to see last years state leader in tackles James…
Two of the regions top athletes made their decision known this past week as Oregon’s top ranked Offensive Lineman David Reese (6-7 270 Sr. T) of Clackamas, and dual threat talent Josh Brown (6-6 250 Sr. TE/DE/OL) of Sunset committed to Big Sky Schools. Reese was courted by D1AA national power Montana and found it to be what he was looking for saying,”Everything just felt right when…
As the regular season comes to an end we will start to see recruiting pick up for some of the state’s top ranked athletes. One of the top kids on our board is the #2 ranked Offensive Lineman for 2014, Tanner Davies (6-3 295 Sr. OL) of Sheldon. He is a three year starter who has already played in two state title games, winning last years championship….
Cade Smith Jr. QB West Salem – One of the state’s top junior’s accounted for 366 (193 passing, 173 rushing) of the Titans 473 total yards of offense and 3 TD’s in the 44-35 win over McNary. Yadie Dunmore Sr. RB Sheldon – Dunmore continued his impressive senior campaign carrying the rock 16 times for 221 yards and 3 TDs in the 45-25 win at Grants Pass. Chase Morrison…
If you could put a franchise tag on a coach I would start with Springfield’s Dave Heuberger. The Miller’s program is now in a completely different state, as they are not only winning but doing so with some of the top younger athletes in Oregon. Sophomore QB Trever Watson (5-10 180) looks to be a favorite for MWL Player of the Year honors, after starting as a…
As we close out the regular season, the Oregon City Pioneers could be the hottest team in the state. They currently sit at (7-1) and are ranked #5 in our latest NEI 6A Poll. OC is led by a strong senior class and some of the top younger athletes in the region. Big season’s from QB Jonathan Hall and WR Matt Oades have been huge, with Sr…
6A Top Ten Centennial (5-3) 14 @ #1 Central Catholic (8-0) 65 The Eagles have played better but this shouldn’t be close. CC is as dominant as I have ever seen them, and even if you want to 10+ D1 kids is tough to stop. #2 Tigard (8-0) 69 @ Forest Grove (4-4) 7 Expect Tigard to play their starters a little longer this week, in…
Anyone familiar with Oregon high school football will tell you that Grants Pass has some of the richest football tradition anywhere in the state. It’s one of the best football venues in the west and a place opponents don’t necessarily fare well. Its been a tough last half decade as GP has gone (12-30), but things are looking up quickly. Just this week we bumped the Cavemen…
