Oregon high school football team finally ends 23-year playoff win drought

Some moments are worth waiting 23 years for. For an Oregon high school football program that had spent more than two decades waiting for a postseason breakthrough, Friday night delivered the type of moment that can define a season and remain etched in a community's memory for years to come. Ida B. Wells made history Nov. 6, defeating Grants Pass 46-35 in the opening round of the Oregon Class 6A football playoffs to snap a 23-year drought without a postseason victory. The Guardians hadn't won a playoff game since 2003. Now, after over two decades of waiting, they can finally celebrate another postseason breakthrough. The victory capped a remarkable regular season for Ida B. Wells, which entered the playoffs undefeated at 9-0 and earned the No. 6 seed in the 6A championship bracket. The Guardians continued that momentum against No. 11 Grants Pass, improving to 10-0 and extending their winning streak. Ida B. Wells' success has been built around an unconventional offensive identity. The Guardians employ a Power-T offense that relies on misdirection and multiple ball carriers to keep opposing defenses guessing. Junior Lucius Coon entered the postseason as the team's leading rusher with 675 yards. Seniors Olive Hamzaoui and

'Fearless' Jett Wong lifts Sheldon football to state playoff win

With Sheldon football's season hanging in the balance, Jordan Johnson had no doubt where the ball was going. Clinging to a one-score lead in a do-or-die first-round playoff matchup with Lakeridge, the Irish had an opportunity to ice the game late in the fourth quarter and secure a trip to the OSAA state quarterfinals. Facing 3rd-and-8 with just over two minutes to go, Johnson, Sheldon's offensive coordinator, didn't call for a deep shot to his NCAA Division I-bound wideout or look for chunk yardage from his wrecking ball of a running back. Instead, he dialed up a corner route for a 5-foot-8, 140-pound sophomore who, more often than not, is the smallest player on the field. Moments later, the Irish were in victory formation. In the first round of the Class 6A playoffs, No. 5 Sheldon beat No. 12 Lakeridge in a 35-34 shootout. One year after finishing 2-7, the Irish (8-2) are set to face No. 4 Tualatin in the Nov. 13 quarterfinals. Jett Wong, Sheldon's 10th-grade receiver who has rapidly emerged as a difference-maker in the Irish's high-powered offense, caught a 16-yard pass from junior quarterback Ryker Rohaley to seal the victory. "He's shown us time and again

Tualatin wins big, but plays small in playoff opener versus Grant

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Not all wins are equal, and some are darn right ugly. I wouldn’t go as far as saying Tualatin’s performance was the latter, but it wasn’t up to their standard and head coach Dom Ferraro said as much immediately after their state playoff game with Grant.

Portland Sophomore Paddles 1,200 Miles Down the Columbia, Mom Trails in the White Whale

A 20-year-old Portland native has spent the past two months kayaking nearly the entire length of the Columbia River, paddling from the mountains of British Columbia toward the Pacific Ocean in a solo expedition that began with two people and a lot less certainty. Jack Syverson, a Dartmouth College sophomore, calls the journey Headwaters to Horizon, and he is nearing the end of what started as a 1,200-mile trip down one of the West's most heavily dammed waterways.

Final Road Game of the Year Goes Wildcats Way

McMINNVILLE, Ore. -- The Loggers conclude their road trip with a 77-3 loss to #20 Linfield, heading back home for one final game of the season against Whitworth. The Loggers got the ball to start the game, adn started to move the ball down the field. Sophomore quarterback Brady Beck got the reigns to the offense once again, completing passes to Kasey Williams and Drake Granberry III to get the chains moving. After an incomplete pass on third down, Thomas Goeglein saw his first punt of the day go 45 yards.

High school football: Thurston cruises past St. Helens in playoff first round

This story has been updated with additional scores from Friday games. Bentlee Davenport wanted the ball in his hands. A short opening kick left the ball in the hands of an unintended Thurston returner, but Davenport caught up to him on the 20-yard line and called for a pitch. The junior wide receiver then peeled out to the left and found open space down the sideline for an 80-yard return touchdown.

North Medford stalls in playoff-opening loss at No. 3 Nelson

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Black Tornado score on 1 of 4 trips inside Hawks’ 25-yard line to fall short in 6A championship bracket. The big plays that were part of North Medford’s early and late-season success didn’t materialize on a cold and rainy night in Happy Valley, and the Black Tornado’s hopes of extending their run in the Class 6A football championship bracket were dampened because of it.
