The most interesting sight of the night was how quickly the gym emptied after the game. The Pirate Palace was no more than 30% full during the trophy presentation. The game itself went as expected. Hard Nosed, tough, low scoring. None of those are descriptions usually associated with private schools, but these two are unique, […]
Well, here we are again. Clatskanie repeats, becoming the first team since Dayton to do so. It didn’t come easy, but was never really in question. From the tip Sutherlin was behind the 8 ball, as Clatskanie scored immediately on their usual tip play, making it 2-0 Tigers before the Bulldogs could even move. Shelby […]
DLS Amity The Coos Bay curse is back apparently. One week after Amity looked like possibly the best team in the state against Nyssa in the round of 16, the Warriors have gone two and out in the state tournament. Similar things have happened to Amity for roughly the last decade, with the only exception […]
DLS v OES DLS lost to OES. Yes, you read that right. The pressure didn’t bother OES at all. The Knights looked like a team that had never been in Coos Bay before, which was just flat weird. OES #13 Charles Wilmott had 28/3/3. When he’s going, OES can play with anyone anywhere. George Sadi […]
#1 Clatskanie vs #16 De La Salle North Catholic Clatskanie is the top team again in 2020 led by player or the year Shelby Blodgett and 1st team all League Olivia Sprague. This team is a lot more than those two as they have 2-3 other key players in Cloee McLeod, Alexis Smith and Kaity […]
#1 De La Salle v #16 Yamhill-Carlton ‘The new vs the old’ The De La Salle Knights. 2 time defending state champions, 4 straight championship game appearances, returning state player of the year George Sadi and coach of the year James Broadus II. An 18-6 regular season record, but only two losses to 3A opponents […]
SALEM– The Clatskanie Lady Tigers were challenged early but battled back to beat the 2nd-ranked Sutherlin Bulldogs 69-65 in overtime on Monday Night. Trailing by as many as 13 points, a career night from Kaity Sizemore, who scored a team-high 21 points, sparked a lot of momentum into the Lady Tigers. Taking part in the […]
Crusaders New Years Invitational Girls Green Bracket This bracket has a few decent teams but we believe the best two teams in this bracket will be on opposite sides as Burns is a Top 4 3A basketball team and Salem Academy probably has the best chance to be second best out of all the other […]
Two very, very different games. Here are some takeaways, first for girls: It’s Clatskanie’s championship to lose. Thy run the floor better than just about any team in the state 2A-4A, play defense better than just about any team 2A-4A, and have mabye the best player in 2A-4A. Amity is in a world of hurt […]
To the casual observer, Santiam Christian taking down Hidden Valley 41-34 Saturday at Roseburg High School was just another championship game. The back and forth, the atmosphere, the crowds. From an outsider’s perspective, Saturday may have just been another football game in November. Make no mistake, on the field and off it, Saturday had implications […]

There is a clear and defined four-tier set up in 4A football right now. There are 6 clear and definite championship contenders, 10-12 playoff contending teams, and then everyone else. The lines drawn between these are for the most part very clear, very distinct, and looking back were fairly predictable. The Championship Contenders: Banks, Marist, […]
Heppner, OR– Last season Heppner made the four-hour trip to Clatskanie and came up empty-handed after a 46-0 rout on opening night. The feeling sat with them for over a year and they got their shot at revenge Friday Night. The first quarter was scoreless, and the defenses stood strong. Although in the quarter, Clatskanie’s […]
This will come as a shock to nobody: Gladstone @ Banks is the Week 1 GOTW There are numerous storylines and statistics going into this game that make it juicier than a freshly picked pineapple. It’s been 4 years since Jon Jedrykowski was the head coach at Gladstone, this will be his first game back. […]
