But don’t fear, I’m a lot like Brett Favre. I don’t need no stinkin’ training camp to get back into the game, though I may drop the ball towards the end with a soul-crushing interception (across the body, Brett? Really?).St. Paul crushes Perrydale, 60-37

Girls Basketball - Girls Basketball Recaps Written by Kirk Mays Sunday, 07 February 2010 15:06 Hits: 537 In 1A Casco league action Friday night, the Perrydale Pirates outgunned the St. Paul Buckaroos to pull into a tie for 3rd place in the Casco league standings. St. Paul came out fast and furious in the 1st quarter, pushing the game tempo offensively and relentlessly pressing the Pirates with their defense. This strategy worked in the 1st quarter, as the Pirates became flustered with the fast pace and continuous press, and their ball handling suffered because of it. St. Paul led 9-4 at the end of one.

Sherwood Holds Off Century 53-48
Girls Basketball - Girls Basketball News Written by Don Francis Saturday, 06 February 2010 12:43 Hits: 667 The fine line between Century and Sherwood can be measured on 'who wants the game more on that night.' The first time around, it was pretty clear when Century visited Sherwood and came away with a 52-44 win that it was the Jaguars who enforced their will. Friday at Century it was the Bowmen who refused to yield as they held off repeated rallies to even up the head to head in what could be a deciding factor come playoff time. Sherwood's 53-48 win moved them into a tie with Century for the #3 Seed and now both trail Glencoe by a single game as they all come down the home stretch.

The Lady Loggers (12-2, 19-3) saw their 13-game win streak snapped; but they experienced first-hand the pressure of playing in a playoff atmosphere they hope to see in Pendleton – a place Scio hasn’t visited since 1991, before any current player was born. #6 Oregon City defeats #9 Clackamas, 63-58
Boys Basketball - Boys Basketball Recaps Written by Andrew Millbrooke Friday, 05 February 2010 23:12 Hits: 835 Driver gets breakaway dunk to seal win
(Beavercreek) – The #6 Pioneers (14-5, 6-1) led by at least eight points in each quarter, but had to withstand a fourth quarter rally by the #9 Cavaliers (11-6, 5-2) before pulling out a 63 to 58 victory on Friday. Clinging to a three point lead with just 14 seconds remaining, Tyler Ferguson found Brycen Driver for the game clinching breakaway slam dunk with a three-quarters court inbounds pass, leading the Pioneers into first place in the Three Rivers League with one more round of league play remaining. “We’ll see how long it lasts,” Oregon City coach Mike Doherty said of his teams league lead. “We still have five more league games. It could come down to the last week.” Driver led a balanced Pioneer squad with 16 points. 5’11 senior guard Spencer Bankofier scored a game-high 26 to lead the Cavaliers.
Oregon City came out firing and hitting on all cylinders. Tyler Ferguson nailed a three-pointer, assisted on his brother Trevor’s layup and picked up a couple rebounds in the early going as the Pioneers jumped out to a 7-0 lead. The Pioneers 2-3 zone defense was completely stifling the Cavaliers. Clackamas called timeout, but Driver stole the ensuing inbounds pass and dunked for a 9-0 lead. The Cavaliers then found the answer. Bankofier started penetrating and getting some good looks and Clackamas switched from man defense to zone, extending pressure to half court. Clackamas held Oregon City over four minutes without a field goal, closing the gap to 9-8. Trevor Ferguson hit consecutive three-pointers to break the Pioneers scoring draught and they led 15-13 after one quarter.

Boys Basketball - Boys Basketball Recaps Written by Allan Classen Thursday, 04 February 2010 08:31 Hits: 672 Cleveland overcame a poor start to upset fifth-ranked Marshall 52-49 Feb. 3. Halfway through the first quarter, it was the last outcome anyone would have expected.
Marshall’s quickness and pressing defense had Cleveland in a 10-2 hole and calling a time out. From that point on, Cleveland's 6-7 post Nathan Maddox went on a streak, carrying the Warriors to a 24-20 lead just before halftime. Maddox had 20 points at the break—all but four of his team’s total. 2010 Football Signings

(Beaverton) - #1 Jesuit used two 14-5 runs, one to end the second quarter and another in the third, to run away from a determined #2 Westview on Tuesday, 81 to 65. The Crusaders (16-1, 8-0) won their 26th straight game against Oregon opponents in convincing fashion against a very solid Wildcat (14-3, 6-2) squad. Jesuit is 14-0 this season against Oregon teams and finished last season with 12 straight wins, including the state championship game. Jesuit has beaten teams by an average of 22 points per game during the amazing run. The Crusaders all but wrapped up the Metro League title, with a two game lead on Westview and only one more head to head matchup.
Jack Grodahl scored a season-high 21, including 14 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Crusaders, but it was a true team effort. “We are playing good team ball,” junior Kyle Wiltjer said, who added a team-high 22 points. “We are confident and feel we can beat anyone when we play well. In the Metro every game is for the league title. We have a bulls-eye on our back.”

Boys Basketball - Boys Basketball Recaps Written by OregonPrepSports.net Tuesday, 02 February 2010 19:15 Hits: 1132 One of Oregon's best took on one of Washington's best in a showdown between Jefferson and Kentwood.

Jones put up 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists, and a highlight reel of dunks. Smith, in his first full week at 100% after an early-season knee injury, managed just 6 points, but was a defensive presence with 7 blocks and numerous rebounds and altered shots.
