Football RecapsHilhi holds off Jeff, 20-6
Football - Football Recaps Written by Tim Foster – http://oregonsportsreporter.com Sunday, 13 December 2009 10:19 Hits: 622 A win is a win and a victory in the final game of the season means you get to call yourself a State Champion. The Hillsboro Spartans did not put a lot of points on the board as they are accustomed to, but the best defense in the 5A ranks came through one last time and the Spartans held off Jefferson, 20-6, to win the 2009 OSAA Football State Championship at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. Forecasts for Saturday had called for freezing rain and the possibility of snow. By game time the temperature was above freezing and any ice around Corvallis had turned to slush. With large propane heaters blasting the home and visiting sidelines, Hillsboro took possession to begin the game and quickly assumed control of the scoreboard. 6A Final – Sheldon Edges Jesuit 50-43 In Showdown

"Not many kids have done what he has," proud father and coach Marty Johnson noted. "Jordan has had a lot of weight on his shoulders, and the whole team has had a target on their backs, all season. And then, it looked like we had them, but here they came again! I'm awfully proud of how these guys responded." 5A Final – HillHi Handles Jeff 20-6

Logan Silver romped for four scores and 139 yards on 16 carries for the Spartans, while Tevin Cheever completed ten of eighteen tosses for 196 yards and four more scores, two to Jeff Bedbury. Meanwhile, Marist's defense held Baker to 76 first half yards. Jesse Brown eventually threw for 195 yards, but most of the production came after the running clock had come into play.
"We went out and played out of our minds," Bedbury exclaimed.
“The offensive line deserves all the credit,” Silver said of his spectacular day. “They opened big holes, and they did it every play. They made it easy for me.”
And Spartan coach Frank Geske added a second championship to his resume, to go with the 2003 title Tigard took. Geske becomes just the eighth coach in Oregon football history to coach two different schools to a title.
"I’m real proud of the way they played," Geske commented. "They played lights out in every phase, and they did so with all the pressure on them to meet lofty expectations."
Champs ousted, Spartans run to Title Game
Football - Football Recaps Written by Tim Foster – http://oregonsportsreporter.com Sunday, 06 December 2009 08:43 Hits: 742 For the first time since the creation of the 5A classification in 2006, the West Albany Bulldogs will be absent from the state championship game. In their place will the Spartans from Hillsboro who defeated West Albany, 28-14, in a physical semi-final game at PGE Park Saturday afternoon. West Albany (11-2) burst onto the field through a sign that read “Who let the dogs out?” and the Spartans (12-1) promptly took on the role of dog catcher, corralling Anthony LaCoste and the rest of the West Albany offense for all but five minutes. #7 Baker Blasts Phoenix 57-14 for a Shot at Marist

"That was a heck of an effort," Baker coach Dave Johnson exclaimed. "The kids played well, all right!"
Johnson was pleasantly surprised, because "We don't see a lot of the full-out spread. We have got some athletes, and we had a plan, but I was wondering how our kids would respond. And they rose to the occaision."
Top ranked Marist had the opportunity to get an eyefull, but Baker is going into the title game not having seen the Spartans yet. Johnson said "We've got to figure Marist out now. But regardless, it will be fun for the kids to be in the big show."

"That's definitely the quickest team we've faced," Marist Coach Frank Geske said. "And they kept taking hits and running hard. So were pretty proud of some pretty dog gone good play on defense. There's always room to improve, but when you play with that much heart, you will always come out on top."
Tevin Cheever threw for 185 yards and five touchdowns, four to Jeff Bedbury, and the chilly weather was no obstacle. "It isn't exactly good conditions, but we've been chilly for practice; this is actually nice by comparison," Geske added.
The efficiency of the Marist offense was exemplified by the fact that despite a time of possession of over 22 minutes, the Spartans still won by five touchdowns. Only one drive took over 1:14 to complete.
West Salem falls to Jesuit in 6A Semi #1
Football - Football Recaps Written by Andy Wooldridge (CCCougarfan) Friday, 04 December 2009 16:42 Hits: 646 The Fast Titans Can't Handle the Crusaders  West Salem has been too fast for everyone since their opening loss to South Medford, but Jesuit, also undefeated since their initial trip to Seattle to play Skyline, might be even faster. Tonight, we found out they might not be faster, but they were fast enough, and way strong enough too.
Only a Titan scoring drive off an early turnover interrupted an otherwise controlling 21-7 performance by the Crusaders, one that yielded a time of possession advantage of over half a period.
"That's the kind of kids these ones are," Jesuit coach Ken Potter said. "They play hard, and play together. We've had more flashy teams, but none tougher."
That toughness produced two nights of carries for over 125 yards for Jesuit. Jordan Talley rolled up 125 yards and a first quarter score, while Keanon Lowe finished strong with 134, and a pair of touchdowns, after being held to zero net rushing yards in the first half. "We didn't put Keanon back there until we had to," Potter explained. Lowe also added 40 receiving yards in the first half. "We just tried to run hard," Talley added.

After Canby took the initial lead, Sheldon answered with three scores, then responded to the Cougars' next touchdown with four more.
"I couldn't be more proud, especially of the way we started," Sheldon coach Marty Johnson said. "The kids did a great job. Canby is a great team, they have great athletes, and the way they run around, wow! It's kind of mind boggling, with the criss-crossing." Johnson, who is taking the Irish to their fourth title game in nine years, noted "The precedent was set nine years ago, and the bar is set high. And to have the success these seniors had as sophomores, sometimes you never get back to that."
Johnson also observed that "People were waiting to see how we handled the bright lights. Some teams just aren't the same, but these kids, they have a lot of confidence. And then to go on a six minute drive, to show they can do that as well as get the quick strike. There's not much to not feel good about with these guys."

The Warriors will take the field with the emotional support of all those historic players though, as Cody Porter explained. "All those guys from before, they are encouraging us, they are there with us; it's crazy, but it helps."
Whatever it was, it helped the 6'0" 190 lb. Porter to play much bigger than his size suggests, pounding out 168 of Amity;s 256 rushing yards. "This game is mental," Porter explained. "If you think you are big and fast, then you are. We all approach it that way. Belief in yourself, and trust in your team mates. We have been together for eight years."

"We are happy, but not content," Scio Coach Kyle Braa commented. "We want one more win."
After a 465 yard rushing effort, they will be the favorites to get one when they face Kennedy in the 2A finals at Hillsboro stadium. But it's far from a certainty, as the Loggers defeated the Trojans by a close 14-7 margin in Mt. Angel on Oct. 16. "It's a double edged sword, facing them for the second time," Braa added. "It's good seeing two Tri-River teams in the finals, but we will need to have our best week of the year in practice. We are hoping for another repeat win, but we're not counting on it."
West Albany runs past the Cougars, 31-7.
Football - Football Recaps Written by Tim Foster– http://oregonsportsreporter.com Saturday, 28 November 2009 09:36 Hits: 433 LaCoste Leads Bulldogs Past Mt. View
Of the 53 plays running back Anthony LaCoste was on the field, the ball went his way 34 times. The 190lb senior had no problem deciding what to do with it and torched the Mountain View Cougars for 274 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Behind LaCoste, West Albany cruised to a 31-7 victory in a quarterfinal 5A State Championship game in Albany. LaCoste was the Bulldogs driving force once again, but, West Albany had a 14-0 first half lead without their star sniffing the endzone. “I think that other parts of our offense have developed,” said Bulldogs’ head coach Randy Nyquist. “Sure, anybody would like to turn around and give [LaCoste] the ball, but we can score other ways and we did that tonight.”

Sheldon held off a furious Jesuit rally to claim a 50-43 showdown win, capping a perfect season, and a stellar career for quarterback Jordan Johnson, now a two time title winner.
With two teams known for offense involved, a shootout was expected, but the defenses were the story, especially the one the Hillsboro Spartans rolled out.
Marist made a statement in their last playoff run before moving up to 5A, and the statement is they are the most dominant team in the history of A-2/AA/AAA/3A/4A football, rolling out to a 55-0 lead before cruising to the 55-16 victory over Baker.
Jordan Johnson finished with 19 completions out of 24 attempts, for 372 yards, and four touchdowns, and ran for another pair of scores, as Sheldon stormed past Canby 49-14 to a title game meeting with Jesuit.
Amity returns to the finals for the first time since 2003, with their 21-17 win over Cascade Christian, and Coach Joel Magill quickly advised his team that Rainier "Is going to be another one like this one. We'll need another all-out effort."
Coulter Mastenbroek romped for 225 yards and two touchdowns, as the Scio Loggers stayed unbeaten, trampling the Lost River Raiders for the second time this season.
