South Eugene Sees Sizable Talent Slip Away
OL/DL Charles Siddoway, formerly of Marist, formerly (kind of) of South Eugene, will now be attending Sheldon High School for his senior season.
Siddoway, a 6-6, 305 pound linemen, rated four stars by Scout.com, transfered from Marist to South Eugene over the summer, but because two former Marist assistant coaches moved over to South Eugene as well, the OSAA declared that Siddoway would be ineligible on August 18, should Siddoway participate in South's first official fall practice. He did not participate in practice on the 18th, instead waiting for a ruling to the situation.
When one did not become available by Monday evening, he withdrew from South and enrolled at Sheldon. Ironically, his eligibility to play for South was granted Tuesday afternoon, but only after he had been accepted into Sheldon. Isn't the Eugene 4J open-enrollment policy fun?

If you read my old MWL/SWC blog over at WordPress, you know that I love Top 5 lists. So on this most holy of days – the first day of OSAA-sanctioned practice – I’ve put together a few of them to honor the occasion. Equipment has been issued; doubles start sooner rather than later; and we’re under two weeks until Zero Week.
Top 5… Players
MWL
1. QB Tym Pearson, Senior – Thurston. A dual-threat QB who emerged as a team leader as a sophomore, helping to salvage a playoff appearance in 2006 for a team that was absolutely devastated by injury. Arm strength, accuracy, speed…
2. OL/DL Aaron Boehland, Senior – Springfield. The best linemen to come out of the MWL in quite some time. Dominant since his sophomore year. In for a huge senior season blocking for Dusty Jarvis.

With two legitimate state championship contenders, the SWC looks downright explosive heading into 2008.
Defending state champion Sheldon returns a brilliant junior class that was instrumental in winning state last year, and chief challenger South Medford is absolutely stocked with playmakers on both sides of the ball. The two meet on Halloween, and expect nothing short of greatness. Since Sheldon’s first MWL championship of their dynasty era, consider their annual showdowns with their league’s predicted #2 challenger:

Half of the MWL will have new roundball coaches come November. Here's the lowdown.
North Eugene
The biggest (and most shocking) coaching swap of the offseason comes from NE, where the uber-successfull Bill Wagner stepped down not long after the 5A state tournament. Wagner led NE to an 88-18 record the last 4 seasons, back-to-back MWL titles in 2006-07 and 2007-08, and the 2006-07 state championship. |

Let’s get right to this: the MWL Cup is a fake award I invented last year to give to the MWL school that won the most league titles in OSAA sanctioned athletic sports. Thurston won the inaugural 2006-07 MWL Cup, for example, winning 7 MWL championships in the 19 athletic events they participated with (I didn’t save the data, but I believe North Eugene was second with 5). So, with that explanation taken care of…
