The Ravens of Ridgeview are a perfect 9-0 on the season, including a 41-0 (according to the official OSAA website… could that be a typo?) win over Wilsonville back on March, 19th.

Ridgeview is the top-ranked Class 5A team in the state by OSAA power rankings. They are coached by Sandy Fischer, who was a longtime, lots of wins, coach at Oklahoma State University. (see article in link)

Last season Ridgeview reached the state quarterfinals.

The two big changes for Central Oregon would be the Class 6A Inter County Conference and the Class 5A Intermountain Conference.

More Info:
OSAA committee goes with majority, says six classifications is plan for now – Oregonlive

Here’s where they rank among Oregon’s 5A softball teams:

With five intermountain Conference boys basketball teams each round of games will feature one bye. Round one is in the books with Summit beating Redmond and Bend beating Ridgeview. IMC games will happen every Tuesday and Friday nights from here on out.

Just one week remains in the Intermountain Conference football season, then four of the eight teams move on to the Class 5A Oregon playoffs, which this year begin in the round of 16. Four 5A leagues will each send four teams to the playoffs, so who is going from the IMC?

Playoff scenarios going into final week:
Summit (6-0) – Secured their second-straight league title.
Bend (4-2) – Win and they are in with a 5-3 record. Lose and they are tied with Mountain View with a 4-3 record. Mountain View would win the tiebreaker based on head to head. If they lose and Redmond loses they are in as they hold the tiebreaker over the Panthers but don’t over the Hermiston Bulldogs.
Redmond (4-2) – Win and they are in with a 5-3 record. Lose and it could get complicated, see below..
Hermiston (4-2) – Clinched playoff spot with wins over Bend and Mountain View.
Mountain View (3-3) – Can still make the playoffs with a win over Bend high. Lose and they are out.
Pendleton (2-4) – Eliminated. Beating Hermiston would clearly mean a lot, but won’t get them into the playoffs.
Ridgeview (1-5) – Eliminated. A chance to end the season on a high if they can upset crosstown rival Redmond.
Hood River Valley (0-6) – Eliminated. Would have to upset No. 1 Summit to avoid going winless on the season.

What happens with a 4-way tie for 2nd?
It’s possible that Bend, Redmond, Hermiston and Mountain View could all go 4-3. This is unlikely, as Redmond should beat Ridgeview and Hermiston should beat Pendleton. Bend is favored over Mountain View, but that game could go either way. If they all end up 4-3. Hermiston would have the edge over Bend and Mountain View, but not Redmond. Redmond would have the edge over Hermiston and Mountain View but not Bend. Bend would have the edge over Redmond but not Hermiston and Mountain View. So, yeah, I don’t know actually. But I think that Mountain View would be the odd team out? But don’t quote me on that.

Tuesday
• Summit @ Hood River Valley Boys Soccer – HRV is the two-time defending Class 5A state champions.

Thursday
• Aloha @ Bend Girls Soccer – Always tough teams from the Metro Conference.

Friday
Start of IMC football, as in old school(ish) IMC football.
• Mountain View @ Hermiston – Old rivalry renewed. Neither team is that far removed from a state championship and looking to climb back towards the top.
• Redmond @ Bend – One of the oldest rivalries in Central Oregon. Bend hopes to improve to 3-0, Redmond looking for their first win.
• Pendleton @ Summit – The Storm hope to build on last-week’s big win over Ashland.
• Hood River Valley @ Ridgeview – One of these teams will get their first win of the season.

Saturday
• Summit @ Northwest Classic XC Meet – A big matchup between the Storm and Crater, who should be the top two boys teams at the Class 5A state meet on the same Lane Community College Course in November.

Winning a high school cross country race is a big deal. Winning that race against competition like Summit of Bend and Central Valley of Washington is a really big deal!

Albert Hesse of Ridgeview took first place at the Mountain View XC Runoff on Saturday at Bend’s Pine Nursery Park. Among the racers he beat were 5A State Champions of Summit and Spokane’s Central Valley, who was 9th at last year’s Washington State championship.

Look for Hesse to be a major player in the 5A state meet this year!
