Oregon's High School Sports SourceCascade Claims Battle of Cougars 28-6 over Illinois Valley
Football - Football Recaps Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 06 November 2009 22:49 Hits: 86 Stayton’s Win and Tie Breakers Send Cascade to Playoffs
Turner – Cascade quarterback Nick Lamonica found Tyrell Williams for a pair of touchdown catches, and Robbie Federico added a pair of rushing touchdowns, and carried for a game high 134 yards, as the Cougars defeated the visiting Illinois Valley Cougars 28-6.
Thomas Parker's 82 yard touchdown run out of a spread formation highlighted Illinois Valley's game.
Stayton’s 13-0 win over North Marion earned the Eagles (8-2, 5-1) the final Capitol Conference championship, and also resulted in a three way tie for the other two playoff berths. Cascade’s non-conference record earned the Cougars (7-3, 4-2) the second seed, their first playoff trip in 10 years. North Marion (7-3, 4-2) picked up the third seed, while Estacada (5-4, 4-2) was eliminated, despite their 32-7 win over La Salle (2-7, 1-5).
“I’m pretty excited, the kids are excited, and the community is excited,” Cascade Coach Karl Elliott said of the victory. “The kids worked hard, they earned it.”
“Our goal from the start of the season, after going 2-8 last season, was to make the playoffs,” Federico added.

Marist and Central wasted no time in claiming the championships of the SkyEm and the Valco, while Douglas had to work for the FarWest title.
Phoenix and Henley set up a showdown on the Skyline, and Ontario claimed the I-84 showdown.
Astoria took care of a formality called beating the ‘Mooks to lock up the Cowapa, and the Capital was already ticketed for a showdown on the last night.
2A Championship Week Preview
Football - Football News Written by Bruce McCain Monday, 02 November 2009 11:10 Hits: 6005 League Titles and OSAA berths at stake Friday night.
The final week of the 2009 regular season 2A schedule serves as a de facto district seeding playoff. League championships and top OSAA seeds are on the line in all five 2A districts. Headlining Friday’s action will be #1 Knappa (8-0, 4-0) @ Portland Christian (7-2, 4-0). Meanwhile, the MVC has three teams locked at 5-1, with all four district seeds up for grabs. The TRC, SCL, and BMC champions are not finalized yet, giving 2A fans from the Columbia Basin to the California border a terrific final week of small-school gridiron action. Unlike almost every other sport, football does not use a district playoff system to determine OSAA seeding. Even ties in the standings are decided by SOP formulas. So it is quite rare and enjoyable to see the scheduling gods bestow upon 2A fans such a terrific final week of football with all five districts hosting several key games that may make or break a team’s playoff hopes. Cascade Upsets #8 North Marion 29-12
Football - Football Recaps Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 30 October 2009 23:36 Hits: 2649 Lamonica To Williams Combo Tears Up Huskies
The first of two key sequences came in the last minute of the first half. North Marion, trailing 15-12, had held Cascade, forcing the Cougars to punt from their own 9 yard line, and took over at the Cascade 40 with 46.4 seconds left.
However, Husky quarterback Adam Hayden misfired on four consecutive throws, and the Cougars took the ball back with 26.6 seconds left. Which was more than enough for Lamonica.
Lamonica found Williams for 20 yards, and after a timeout, scrambled for seven more, before getting out of bounds at the 33 with 8.7 seconds left. Williams then shook free of the Huskies’ coverage down the left sideline, and Lamonica fired a strike for a touchdown with 2.5 seconds left, and Cascade carried a 22-12 lead into halftime.
“Our running game set that up,” Williams said. “Their defensive backs were crowding up and inside, and (with my speed) I could get outside a couple of steps. Nick threw a perfect pass, and all I had to do was turn and score.”
Last Minute Score Puts Tualatin Past Newberg 26-20
Football - Football News Written by Don Francis Friday, 30 October 2009 21:46 Hits: 378 In a game that had all the looks of heading toward a Kansas Plan Overtime, Tualatin had something else in mind. Back on their own 28 yard line with under a minute and facing a Second and 22, quarterback Matt Yarborough hooked up twice with his ace reciever Christian Pierson. The first for 34 yards and then with 26 seconds left, again for 38 yards and the winning touchdown to break a 20-20 tie and vault into second place in the Pacific Conference. They can claim the runner-up spot and #2 Pacific Conference Seed with a win over Tigard next week. Portland Christian Re-claims District 2

This season marks the third consecutive year that the Royals have ran through District #2 without a loss. Team defense has been the huge for the Royals throughout league play. The Royals allowed just 3 goals total, and only one against starting goal keeper Keegan Rogers.
Bug Bites Sprague
Football - Football News Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 30 October 2009 06:18 Hits: 683 18 Players At Practice Not Enough
Tonight's non-conference game between the Sprague Olympians and the Lake Oswego Lakers is the latest game to be cancelled due to illness outbreaks, and the first at the 6A level.
Approximately 400 students were absent Tuesday from Sprague, and the number climbed to 600 midweek. As a result, only 18 players were available for practice, and less than a dozen of the varsity.
Sprague (5-2, 3-2) has already clinched a playoff berth from the Central Valley conference, holding a tie-breaker over all the teams below them in the standings who could catch them, and has two weeks to get healthy, with only a road game to winless Redmond remaining.
MWL Friday: Monsoon Session
Blogs - MWL/SWC Blog Written by DRH Thursday, 29 October 2009 13:13 Hits: 109 An onslaught of midterms have crunched my free time this week, so we’re going to keep this short and sweet. The exact opposite of that Springfield @ Thurston game two weeks ago, which seemed to go on for eleven hours.#8 Churchill Lancers (7-1, 3-0) @ #4 Thurston Colts (6-1, 3-0) The latest MWL game of the year comes in the form of Churchill vs. Thurston – the last of the undefeated league schools. A Churchill win clinches the #1 seed for the Lancers; a Thurston win just means the Colts still have to beat Marshfield in Coos Bay in the regular season finale to claim the #1 seed.

Sweet Home and Central both rolled on the coast, setting up a neutral site showdown in Corvallis for the Valco championship, while Ontario has the home field advantage in the defacto GOL championship game.
No one is in yet in the SkyEm, but Marist can lock up the title with a win over Pleasant Hill, and the same is true in the Far West, where no one is in yet, but a Douglas win in Sutherlin clinches the title for the Trojans.
