It’s so cool that middle schools have cross country teams now. They didn’t when I was a middle schooler at Pilot Butte back in the 90s.

The junior high racers just wrapped up their district championships. Here are the results.

Central Oregon has had unprecedented success in high school cross country and with the middle school programs continued growth, I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

IMC leaving its mark on final year in 5A

Josh Cordell — Sun, 26 Nov 2017 20:06:38 +0000

The Intermountain Conference will not be the same league it has traditionally been starting in 2018-2019. Bend, Mountain View and Summit are all moving up to Class 6A, while Hermiston is joining a state of Washington league. So it seems fitting that those IMC teams are leaving their mark on Class 5A in their final fall season before reclassification. Here’s how the teams from the IMC faired this fall, which just wrapped up with a Hermiston state football championship.

How’d I do on my predictions this fall?

Josh Cordell — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 23:40:01 +0000

I made a few predictions for the fall or 2017. I didn’t exactly take a long of chances, but overall I was pretty solid

I was three for four.

WRONG
1. 6A Football State champion – Sheldon
Is it too late to pick Clackamas?

RIGHT
2. 5A Girl’s XC State Champion – Summit
Not only did they win, but the claimed the first perfect score in state history.

RIGHT
3. A Central Oregon school wins at least one of the 4A and 5A volleyball state championships.
Bend girls beat Summit girls for the 5A title and the Sisters girls win the 4A crown!

RIGHT
4. A Central Oregon team wins a state soccer championship.
The Summit girls rolled to another state title!
