Serbian immigrant turned PE teacher named Oregon's best in elementary
After earning his teaching license in the U.S., Ratko Pavlovic told his wife he wasn't sure if he could teach, worrying about his English skills. While the two were in the car, his wife assured him his teaching skills and the representation he could offer as an immigrant are both needed in schools. "She talked to me about how, for many kids, maybe English is not their first language, and how many different cultures we have (in the U.S.), and it would be really great to have someone to represent," Pavlovic, 37, said. "That's the reason why I wanted to do elementary." Pavlovic was born in Yugoslavia, now modern-day Serbia. He earned his teaching license at the University of Niš in Serbia and began teaching physical education, a profession that has always called to him. In 2016, he immigrated to the U.S., seeking a new adventure and experience while settling in Wyoming. He met his wife, who is from Oregon, and they moved to Eugene in 2019. Pavlovic now teaches physical education in Bethel School District. For the past six years, he has been known to Bethel students and staff alike as Coach P. The walls of his gymnasium at

The victory marks the program’s first-ever win over a Big Ten opponent, and GCU delivered it in convincing fashion. In front of a home crowd of over 2,000 fans, the Lopes came out hot, stretching their lead to as many as 18 points before the fourth quarter.

A look at Oregon’s path forward
To the Oregon fans who stopped watching after the third loss of the season: it’s time to tune back in. It seems like every year, the Ducks win a massive game over a higher-ranked opponent. Last season, the Ducks stole a double-overtime road win against No. 3 Penn State. The year before, Oregon took down No. 2 Ohio State mid-season. While Oregon wasn’t in a playoff-hopeful position this season, they got their big win. This time it felt more like a lifeline. The question now is: are the Ducks back, or is it too late?
