Since then the Valiants haven’t lost to a 3A opponent, with a 2-1 10 inning loss to 4A tenth ranked Gladstone being their only blemish this season. And Picken shut out Willamina 1-0 in last year’s second meeting, and again in the OSAA State Title game, 6-0.
On April 7th. of this year, Chewning shut out the Valiants for eight innings, but Picken and the Valiants again went Willamina one better, and Valley won 1-0 in nine innings.

Jeff Flood Jumps to North Salem
Oregon High School Sports - Football Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan)Tuesday, 29 April 2008 20:15 Hits: 150 After taking Amity to four consecutive state championships, and then taking Blanchet from not having a football program to three consecutive playoff appearances, Jeff Flood is taking over at 103 year old North Salem High.
Flood is already a teacher and the boys’ golf coach at North Salem. “Obviously, this is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, since I work there.” Flood said. “I’ve never been able to teach full time and actually coach in the same building in 16 years. That really excites me a lot; I feel I’m really connected to these students here through my teaching. To have an opportunity to extend that to the playing field is exciting for me.”
Three Cougars, Four Eagles Among 11 Mid-Valley Athletes headed for College Programs

The Curious Case of Current Coaching Changes
Oregon High School Sports - Football Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan)Sunday, 20 April 2008 11:40 Hits: 608 Those that follow all the forums are up on the odd on-goings of head coaching moves of the last couple of months, but the events of this off season could be considered too strange to be believed, if they hadn’t actually already happened.
The head coaching job of any of the major sports is one of the high profile positions on campus, because successes and failures happen in front of a crowd of community members, and appear in the area paper and on the web, for those who missed the event.
So it’s not unexpected when coaches who lose a lot are asked to leave town. Everyone is, or was, looking for the long time coach who wins because the program is sound, and he stays around, providing the stability that provides still more wins.
Who wouldn’t want to have the next Dewey Sullivan or Thurman Bell take their program to the playoffs most years, and send legions of student athletes to college, and success in life? Coaches used to leave for usually only one of three reasons. Retirement, poor performance, or an opportunity at a better program.
The changes that have happened of late break that mold.

Oregon High School Sports - General Written by Don FrancisSaturday, 12 April 2008 11:29 Hits: 515 Had we been smart several years ago we might have seen the writing on the wall. RoboDuck was nothing more than the University of Oregon slowly distancing themselves from longtime mascot Donald and rolling out the beta test product. The straw that broke the camels back was the recent announcement of eliminating 400 parking spots in a venue known as the 'best tailgate atmosphere' in the West to make room for some silly 'If you build it they will come" pipedream spawned by neurotic and competitive idealists. Oregon has finally dumped the figurehead of Donald and parent company Disney and will now embrace Looney Tunes. Afterall, was Roboduck nothing more than a futuristic Daffy Duck gone Darth Vadar on us all? Don't take my word for this evolution of mascots. Go to the Looney Tunes website and look up the definition of Daffy Duck and it will describe the maturation of Daffy who in earlier cartoons was manic, explosive and unpredictable yet in later years become more self-analytical, competitive, peevish, paranoid and neurotic. "Th-th-thuffering thuccotash Porky, that sounds just like the DAF to me!" For some, a baseball field in the midst of what was the Autzen Stadium parking lot is a crowning jewel of returning to glory. I suspect for the majority of legionnaires du' canard it has the appeal and sensability of a toddlers day care center stuck in the midst of a retirement home. Glimmers of Girls Hoop and a Farewell to Seniors
Oregon High School Sports - Girls Basketball Written by Don FrancisWednesday, 09 April 2008 18:25 Hits: 421 After covering the Les Schwab Northwest Shootout at Chiles Center last weekend, walking out of the gym was like closing the book on the 2008 Season. I took a moment to reflect upon the past year and want to wrap up the season with these following thoughts. There where some girls that will always be poignant chapters to recall in the minds eye. Some happy, some tragic, some bittersweet but above all, revolving around the game that is an integral part of my life. In some ways this is my Senior All StarTeam. They deserve one last shout out. Washington Rallies for 108-105 Shootout Win Over Oregon
Oregon High School Sports - Boys Basketball Written by Don FrancisSunday, 06 April 2008 22:08 Hits: 319 Oregon couldn't make a 19 point lead hold up as Washington, behind the strong post play of DeAngleo Casto, rallied in the final minutes to defeat Oregon 108-105 in a thrilling main event win at the Les Schwab Northwest Shootout at Chiles on Sunday evening.
Oregon had the height advantage with twin towers 7'0 Andy Poling and 6'10 Sammy Schafer but Washington countered with the more rugged Casto as well as Kavario Middleton and Jared Karstetter, both who will attend college on football scholarships next season. The game was acentuated with plenty of highlight reel spectacular plays but it was Casto and his defense that was the difference as the future Washington State Cougar, who has to make Tony Bennett smile, would finish with an impressive 19 points and pull in 8 rebounds but the stat line that would steal the show were his eight blocks. Many coming against the taller Poling.
Washington Wins Shootout at OK Corral
Oregon High School Sports - Girls Basketball Written by Don FrancisSunday, 06 April 2008 21:05 Hits: 310 Never mind that some of Washingtons players like UW bound Kristi Kingma were off cavorting for Spring Break. When you have the biggest gunslinger in all the land then you let her come out shooting and good things will happen and thats what happened Sunday afternoon at the Les Schwab Northwest Shootout as Ashley Corral led the Washington All Stars to their second straight win with a convincing 100-77 victory.
