Dallas-Silverton rivalry continues in 5A football state quarterfinals

One of Class 5A football's most storied rivalries is getting another chapter in its book. No. 1 Silverton (8-2) and No. 9 Dallas (9-1) are scheduled for a Nov. 13 meeting in the OSAA state quarterfinals at Silverton High School. Earlier in the season, Dallas defeated Silverton 17-14 in Dallas — it was the first time the Dragons beat the Foxes in a decade. The game came down to the wire and was decided by a blocked field goal with under 20 seconds left,, setting up round two. "There’s no lack of motivation from the kids. It’s tough to get the opportunity to avenge a loss in football because in basketball you play everyone twice, baseball, soccer … this is a rare opportunity to get another chance at them and get a chance at them at home," Lever said. With momentum on the side of the Dragons at home in the first matchup, Lever and the Foxes hope the home fans can sway the playoff rendition, too. "(The crowd) was a factor in the last game and hopefully it's a factor in this one," Lever said. Familiar faces, familiar opponent In the first game Oct. 16, Dallas running back Aidan

One of the nation's top high school distance runners is moving on to the collegiate level ahead of schedule. Ellery Lincoln, a senior at Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon , will graduate early and enroll at the University of Oregon in January, forgoing her final high school track and field season to compete for the Ducks during the 2026-27 indoor campaign. The news was first reported by DyeStat, and later reported by the Eugene Register-Guard, part of the USA TODAY Network . "I just wanna say that there's a lot of thought put into this decision and the people around me wouldn't let me make a self-destructive choice," Lincoln told DyeStat. "And I've got a lot of people in my corner helping support me through this transition and I feel very confident about where I'm going." The decision comes after Lincoln capped her high school cross-country career with a second consecutive OSAA Class 6A state championship last weekend. She won in a course-record 16 minutes, 57.6 seconds at Lane Community College. Lincoln has established herself as one of the most accomplished distance runners in Oregon high school history.
