Rapid Reaction: Pirates Struggle Offensively as Knights Advance to Coos Bay to Face Yamhill-Carlton
Ultimately, this game went as expected. We said it would be a 2-3 possession game throughout, and that’s what it was. We said an offensive output similar to what they had against Amity could sink Dayton‘s ship, and ultimately, it did. Here are some thoughts on Tonight’s game: In certain situations you can see a […]

Opinion: PacWest in Three-Way Tie, Should Knock De La Salle Out of Elite-8
The debate should be settled with Amity’s win over Dayton 52-45, but, sadly, the angling will only ramp up from here. As a group which has seen every team in the at-large bid chase multiple times both in person and on NFHS, has talked to multiple coaches, players, and media members both inside and outside […]

Rapid Reaction: Yamhill-Carlton Takes Next Step, Hands Dayton Biggest Loss to 3A Opponent Since at-least 2012
Driving into Carlton there’s a banner hanging on the side of a power pole which reads, “Small town, big achievements.” It struck me through the middle of the fourth quarter as the Tigers began to separate: this was no little achievement. This was program defining. Here’s some takeaways. First, YC: Since Heather Seely-Roberts took over […]

Philomath starts a true 2-0 for first time since 2013, Dayton 0-2 for second time in last three seasons. Rapid Reaction:
The headline from tonight isn’t representative of the story itself. Dayton made strides in the past week, but it wasn’t enough. Philomath had a lot of chatter around them after week one, but this de facto top 10 audition in all likelihood wasn’t enough to get them in. Clunky, a little disorganized, and a little […]

Semi Rapid-Reaction: Old WVL Rivals Sheridan and Dayton Meet in 7-on-7 Scrimmage
Dayton took a 25 minute drive westward tonight to play an old West Valley League rival, Sheridan, in a 7-on-7 flag football game. Any other year, that sentence would’ve peaked nobody’s interest. But in any other year, a Wednesday in October would’ve had both these teams in mid-season fully padded practices, not wearing masks that […]

Peterson to Dayton is Huge, Here’s Why:
There are rising stars, there are up and comers, there are hot name coaching prospects that find themselves at the top of every job openings list of potential hires. At the college ranks the last few years this has taken the form of PJ Fleck, Matt Campbell, and Matt Rhule. Kliff Kingsburry, Sean McVay, and […]

Coos Bay Cliff-Notes: Second day of the most backwards state tournament ever
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 […]

Coos Bay Cliff-Notes: A very, very eventful day one on the boys side
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 […]

Delayed Rapid Reaction: YC no longer taking baby steps, nearing full sprint
YC’s athletic programs have gone under the most dramatic short term metamorphosis of any school in the last 10-15 years. Football has gone from doormat to league champions; volleyball just had its winningest season since 2011, boys soccer just had its first winning season since 2010, girls soccer has become a perennial state power in […]

Amity runs over, around, and through Dayton, also runs into the history books.
Just how historic was Amity’s 54-0 trouncing of Dayton? Other than Amity attaining a 3 game win streak over Dayton for the first time since the run of four from 1999-2002, last night saw the largest point differential in an Amity-Dayton game, ever. That’s right, ever. Unbeknownst to everyone in attendance, they were all witness […]

Who will be the favorite to win the 2019 Championship?
The start of 3a football seems to be right around the corner with summer practices starting up. This season seems to have a lot more what if’s rather than a favorite to win a State Championship. However, a few teams that should be good again in 2019 are Rainier, Amity, Clatskanie and, Nyssa, Madras, and […]
