North Marion Leading Pink-Out Effort
Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Monday, 12 October 2009 18:26 Hits: 135 Huskies Hope For Statewide Support For Cause
Inspired by the example the NFL provided the past two weekends, North Marion High School, and Senior WR/DB, Kelly Christensen, are heading up a campaign to get the entire North Marion high school student body, and also players, coaches, and staff to participate in a "Pink Out" to show North Marion's support for the research and cure of Breast Cancer. The event is planned for Friday evening, October 16th. when the Huskies host the Elmira Falcons on Homecoming night. North Marion has invited the Falcons to join in the "Pink Out" as well, and further asked everyone accross the state, and all teams playing this week, to join in making a statement that we are aware and will win this battle, by the very act of wearing pink in some form at this week's games.
Breast Cancer has taken many loved ones from us all and has left many strong survivors. Christensen and the Huskies ask only that everyone take the evening together, as a state and nation, to celebrate the fight and commitment to live strong in the Race For The Cure, by the simple act of the visible demonstration of awareness and support that pink shows.
Christensen said the event holds a special place in his heart, as his grandmother was afflicted with the disease. “I’m so thankful that my grandma is still here with me, but I know that there are a lot of people around the world that have lost their loved ones to breast cancer,” said Christensen.
Sherwood Supports The Cause
Sherwood is also supporting the cause, with a "Think Pink" theme to this week's contest with Hillsboro.
Cipole Examines Masoli's Knee and Other PAC-10 Oddities
Written by Cipole Monday, 12 October 2009 10:42 Hits: 215 If you're a State of Oregon football fan, supporting anything with an "O" then you hit for a trifecta over the weekend with Beavs, Ducks and even the Vikings notching wins. Then if you stayed up late and watched Washington and Arizona up in Seattle, you're loyalties were tested. Me? I loathe all 'things Stoops' so I threw my loyalty where is had seldom went for the past several decades. I ventured over to "The Darkside." I cheered on Husky QB (and all-around good guy) Jake Locker. In a game where Wildcat coach Mike Stoops might as well have pitched a tent out on the "W" at midfield given the amount of time he left the sideline to rant and rave, it was the perfect nightcap. Washington came down from 33-21 in the final four minutes with a fluke interception return for a touchdown and then a textbook Locker-led drive to seal the win. As Al McGuire once said, "it is better to be lucky than good' and Arizona was good but Washington was lucky. After cheering Dawg wins against USC and Arizona and getting depressed about Notre Dame pulling off the win in South Bend, I am offically done rooting for Washington for the rest of the year. Sherwood's Paulson Wins US Women's Marathon
Written by Don Francis Tuesday, 06 October 2009 09:11 Hits: 161 While many racing savants figured four time Olympian Colleen De Reuck would run away with the USA Womens Marathon in Minneapolis on Sunday, the 45 year old was no match down the stretch as 20 year old Ilsa Paulson, ran her down in the final few miles and still looked so fresh with the U.S flag draped around her, the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon race announcers wondered if she'd be able run the same time heading back to the starting line in Minneapolis. Oregons two time high school cross country champion for Sherwood in 2005 and 2006, Paulson becomes the second youngest woman runner ever to win a major marathon. Portland Schools Oust Lincoln Coaches

Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Wednesday, 16 September 2009 06:25 Hits: 396 Carlson, One Assistant, Reaches Agreement With DA
Portland police cited three Lincoln High School football coaches, on charges of disorderly conduct, for events following the Ultimate Fighting Championship event August 29 at the Rose Garden Arena. They are scheduled to appear in community court next week, and have also received a 30 day TriMet exclusion.
Lincoln High School head football coach Chad V. Carlson, 38, and assistant coaches Kacy S. Fairfax, 24, and Kyle D. Fairfax, 25, who are brothers, attended the event on what Carlson described as "Kind of a coaching retreat. We were done with daily doubles and we were going out. Nobody wanted to drive, so we took the MAX."
Portland police allege the coaches were intoxicated, uncooperative, and verbally interfered with their investigation of a complaint by an unnamed woman that a 23 year old man had pinched her. The man, also not identified, was reportedly a former high school football player whom the coaches had run into on the MAX platform.

Cipole Chronicles: "The Sacrifice of Groundhog Day"
Written by Cipole Tuesday, 21 July 2009 16:56 Hits: 186 Consider Oregon Girls Basketball as entering the Annie Oakley era. What used to be mostly a zealous father-son and the Billy the Kid thing has spread its tiny wings and mutated over to the XY spectrum. It helps get that leg up on the competition when you're smart, gifted and spend a year in academic purgatory. In the new rewritten musical "Annie Get Your Basketball," there is a great scene when Annie and Frankie are going one on one. "Anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you." Imagine putting your son or daughter in the proverbial "Groundhog Day" where for a full year, they do the exact same thing over and over. In hopes someone at the Groundhog Day celebration bids top dollar for their basketball or football prowess. Cipole Chronicles 'KC Ribbit Can Play!'
