Boys Basketball

Seniors star players from the Class of 2008 will compete in 2 basketball games against other all stars from their classification on June 20th and June 21st. Teams are comprised of players from individual leagues, loosely organized into a North vs. South alignment. Players were selected by a committee of coaches from each classification for the basketball skills they displayed during their high school careers. The Series is sponsored by the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association (OACA) and Gatorade, along with sponsors/boosters for each individual player.

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.

Pity the poor official. When Charles Naismith released his first guidelines for officials, it all seemed quite simple. Even the village idiot could call a 'travel' and thus the term 'Village idiot" and "Basketball official" are synonymous to most folks. I'd bet lots of good officials even think of themselves as village idiots for even thinking how it would be a great way to get some exercise, make a pittance, and more importantly serve as judge and jury on a basketball court serving up verdicts on truth and justice. So as I wandered the old relic known as "The Pit' during the Boys 5A and 6A Championship weekend while Andy was chained to Press Row, it became apparant that next to cheering one's own team, projecting ones own voice toward said officals is a close second during contests. Lets just call them "Refs' for now to keep it simple.
