Do you know what Central Oregon high school sport won the most state championships in the past decade?

The criteria:
• Must be an OSAA sanctioned sport.
• Central Oregon schools (Bend, Mountain View, Summit, Redmond, Ridgeview, Crook County, Madras, Sisters, La Pine, Culver, Gilchrist, Trinity, Central Christian).

A close second place was volleyball with 13 state championships from six different schools. But the winningest sport was wrestling, with 15 titles from three different schools.
Culver has nine wrestling titles in the past decade under coach J.D. Alley and Crook County has five under coach Jake Huffman. The other title came last year from La Pine and coach Aaron Flack.

Here’s the Complete list:
15 – Wrestling
13 – Volleyball
10 – Girls XC
9 – Girls Track
8 – Boys Tennis
8 – Boys Swimming
8 – Girls Golf
7 – Girls Swimming
6 – Girls Soccer
6 – Boys XC
5 – Boys Track
4 – Boys Golf
3 – Boys Soccer
3 – Football
2 – Baseball
2 – Girls Tennis
1 – Softball
0 – Boys Basketball
0 – Girls Basketball

Look for Wrestling to continue its impressive run, with Mountain View making a run at the Class 6A large school title in 2020. Crook County, Culver and La Pine should continue to shine.

It is really impressive to have six different Central Oregon schools win state volleyball titles. Crook County tops that list with four under legendary coach Rosie Honl.

The CVC started the varsity football season with a winless week one, but Mountain View and West Salem (vs Bend) were able to secure wins in week two.

The move to Class 6A meant great competition for Bend schools and less state championships. The only 6A state title brought home by a Bend school was Summit’s girls cross county crown. They followed that up with a national championship as well! Of the 19 state championships available at the 6A level, 10 of them were won by Jesuit. No other school won more than one.

Some dates to look forward to for Oregon High School Sports:

2019-2020 – The Bend schools will have their second year of competing at the Class 6A Level. I predict the state championship count goes from one to three next year.

2020-2021 – In the final year before the new high school is built, the three Bend high schools should have their largest attendance numbers ever. This means teams could have their biggest pools of kids to pull from… what will that mean for teams making deep state/playoff runs?

2021-2022 – New high school opens in Bend.

2022-2023 – Start of a new classification cycle. Every four years the OSAA realigns its classifications. In the last cycle, the three Bend schools made the move from Class 5A to Class 6A (the largest in the state).

The Lava Bears 9-1 and second to only Jesuit in the Class 6A baseball power rankings. Last year Bend reached the state semifinals of Class 5A baseball. The reigning 6A-state champions are Westview of the Metro League.

Bend has won seven games in a row and outscored their opponents 86-31 on the season.

A day after senior Karson Klecker scored a Summit boys basketball school-record 37 points, Mountain View senior Karson Klecker scored a school-record 47 points.

This got me wondering what are all the Central Oregon boys basketball scoring records. As well as the state scoring records. Here’s the records I’ve got so far. I’ll try to complete the list as I’m able to track down the info. Please let me know if you’ve got any of the info I’m missing.
