Month Classification School Activity Performance Details
October 2020 6ABendSoftballThe Lava Bear softball team has been active since day one of the pandemic shutdown in March. To stay connected, we have held team zoom calls, done softball testing, wrote a book, held a snowman contest, held a 15-second squat contest, did a Lava Bear Family Run Walk. During summer, the Lava Bears hosted four youth softball clinics for the Bend Parks & Rec Department following strict Covid protocols. Most recently, the team produced a community service announcement entitled We're doing our part...How about you?
5APendletonCheerleadingThe Pendleton cheer team is involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. Students have participated in FFA, Speech and Debate, National Honor Society, Choir and Jazz Band. They have volunteered and performed at retirement facilities, volunteered time at our local animal shelter and thrift store, the Children's Rodeo, and worked several years with Pendleton Round Up and Happy Canyon. They host a kids camp each year for the kids in our community to introduce them to Cheer. They have worked with families in our community with clean up during recent flooding this Spring as well as individuals volunteering time with the local Farmer's Market.
4AWoodburnGirls SoccerThe 2019 Woodburn Girls Soccer State Champions have been ready to fight for a consecutive state title since the day after they won in 2019. They have been working out together 2-3 times a week over Zoom for 28 consecutive weeks. Players and head coach, Andrea Whiteman have decided to focus during these sessions on mental health, how to be a good teammate, good grades, nutrition, and getting physically fit together during this pandemic so that when regulations lift, they are ready to compete. In the classroom, the team has a 3.57 cumulative GPA with ten girls taking AP or IB classes. In the community, each team member volunteers with youth programs and have supported the Project Unify program at the high school, working with athletes with special needs.
3ACascade ChristianBoys SoccerActing quickly during the Almeda fire, players from the Challengers boys soccer program spent several mornings and afternoons helping displaced families who lost their homes to the inferno that blazed through Southern Oregon in September. The displaced families were moved to temporary housing that needed extensive help to become habitable. Players hauled furniture, cleaned up unit spaces, dumped trash, cleared yard debris, and did anything else needed to make the new place as “homey” as possible. The Cascade Christian Boys Soccer team has had many worthy workouts this fall season, and they have taken shape in many forms because of Covid.
2ASantiamWolverinesDrawing students from Mill City, Gates, Detroit, Idanha and surrounding areas, the Santiam High School community has undoubtedly endured an extremely challenging time after the Beachie Creek Fire. After learning of their recognition, AD Clint Forste wrote: “This is another great example of the generosity we have been so blessed to receive up here in the Canyon following the wildfire. Words cannot express our gratitude for the support and love shown to our students and families during these tragic and chaotic times.”
1APowder ValleyVolleyballPowder Valley was the first team to host a volleyball game in the entire state at any level, ultimately finishing Season 1 with a 12-1 record. The girls knew that restrictions would include wearing masks at all times, limited to no spectators allowed and other variations, but they never faltered and followed the rules as they were set forth. During the first quarter of 2020, 10 out of 12 girls on the team found themselves on the honor roll with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Many of the girls on the team are engaged in a variety of activities, such as FFA, National Honor Society, and Band.
November 2020 6ACanbyGirls SwimmingCanby High school girls swim have been working hard ever since COVID hit. When pools opened, the girls were at the pool everyday working hard and trying to get better and ready for when season comes.
5AWillametteBoys Track & FieldThe Willamette Boys Track & Field team has been meeting twice a week to get workouts in. Athletes have been diligent about following health guidelines and have enjoyed being outside getting exercise.
4APhoenixBoys SoccerThe Pirate boys' soccer team has been committed to success on and off the field. The team trained regularly throughout the summer months and continued that diligence so far during the school year. They've been able to play several "friendlies" with nearby schools. Even more impressive is the commitment to academics. Pirate coaches have been supervising a weekly study hall at the school with impressive results as 95% of student-athletes in the program met academic expectations for the first quarter of the school year. Older players are serving as mentors for younger players, helping them learn the Pirate Path to Success at PHS!
3APleasant HillBoys BasketballThe Billies has not let COVID-19 slow them down. Ten players participated in the 10,000 Shot Club Challenge, and three varsity players have completed the challenge, with several more in the thousands. November's theme for the team was about "gratitude & giving back." The team selected the local Dairy Queen for their community service giving back campaign. The team spent hours picking up garbage on the premises and adjacent large parking lot/field, washed all the exterior windows, pressure washed the drive-thru, patio, sidewalk, the building and storefront saving hundreds of dollars for the business and beautifying the business. Students have been working hard in the classroom, as well. Many players have maintained excellent grades, with five having a GPA of 4.0 and several 3.25 and above.
2ASalem AcademyChoirThe Salem Academy Choir has been actively striving for excellence throughout Comprehensive Distance Learning through dedicated Limited In-Person Instruction where small groups of students gather to put into practice skills and technique learned via Google Meets. They have demonstrated tremendous perseverance and dedication piecing together a virtual performance of the national anthem for our Veteran's Day video acknowledgement as well as preparing for our virtual Christmas program. They have become the symbol of "the show must go on" and represented Salem Academy with the utmost honor.
1AMcKenzieEaglesLike two other Oregon schools, the McKenzie community endured and overcame the challenge of forest fire. They are recognized for their perseverance.
December 2020 6AMcNarySoftballThe Celtics softball is dedicated to serving their community. The team decided to help out during the holiday season by creating a GoFundMe, raising $300 for children in an orphanage in Afghanistan. The team holds yearly clinics in order to help the younger girls hone their skills and hopefully gain a love for the game. The girls have also helped with planting trees at Keizer Rapids Park, as well as with community clean up days in Keizer. They also have a number of girls who have assisted with putting together and delivering food baskets over the holidays and delivering meals to families or others who need them. At the end of the 1st quarter of the 2020-2021 school year, the softball team had a GPA of 3.63. Many players are involved in school leadership and AP classes.
5AMilwaukieFootballThe Mustangs have been getting together virtually three times a week and doing a intense full body workout. They have showed up for each other and have been mentoring the new student athletes on the team.
4AHidden ValleyBoys SoccerThe Mustangs boys soccer team has been working hard since summer with training and conditioning. Their hard work and team building activities have been a wild success, as they play unselfishly and with purpose in every touch. They have embraced their young newcomers and learned that the we is greater than the me and it shows on and off the field. Despite wearing masks and limited crowds, the team has posted a 7-0 record with 33 goals for compared to 1 against. They have beat some solid teams during this run, including a 6A school who annually plays deep into the post season. This has been a great relief from all things pandemic for the boys and their families. They are excelling in the classroom, as well, with eleven players with a GPA over 3.5. Ten boys are multi-sport athletes and five are involved in 4H. Many are also actively involved in community service projects through their church or other entities.
3ABlanchet CatholicGirls SoccerThe Cavaliers played two games during season 1, winning both with clean sheets. Blanchet Catholic developed a four week workout session for all seasons starting with Spring, Fall, Winter. During this time athletes participated four days a week playing the sport they know and love while practicing COVID protocol: wearing masks during workouts and games, sanitizing hands, and taking temperature daily. While participating in sports continue to maintain an average 3.5 GPA or higher along with engaging in other extracurricular activities including drama, choir, band, clubs, spirituality, blood drives, speech and debate and DECA.
2ABonanzaVolleyballThe team GPA is 3.2 and a majority of these students are involved in multiple extracurricular activities, including FFA and Bonanza Student Government.
1ARiddleVolleyballThe Riddle High School Volleyball Program banded together throughout the pandemic to support the youth of their community. They have been holding local volleyball camps since August. The program supported up to 35 student-athletes ranging from 4th grade to Seniors. When it became evident that they would be able to compete, both their Junior High and High School teams spent a week competing against another local school district. The entire program has shown exemplary spirit during COVID.
January 2021 6ANorth MedfordBoys BasketballThe Black Tornado have hit the books hard, while remaining active in their community. They have a team GPA of 3.4 and four athletes serving in Student Goverment and Leadership. All of the team members participated in a canned food drive for all area elementary schools. They also help organize donated items at the Almeda Fire Distribution site based at NMHS.
5ADallasVolleyballThe Dragons volleyball program is so much more than a team of players. The athletes are taught teamwork, resilience, the importance of hard work and caring for one another. At the same time, they also learn lifelong skills such as service to the community and the importance of giving back. The coaching staff encourages a balance between academics, athletics, family, friends and self. Team members are involved in leadership, National Honor Society, FFA, and several of them are enrolled in Advanced and AP classes. Earlier in the school year, the team collected cans and bottles to raise $2,500 for Christmas Cheer, which is a local program that provides food and gifts to local families in need.
4AMarist CatholicFootballThe Spartans are led by a group of 13 seniors that have played together since first grade. When they are not playing football, you’ll find the Marist Catholic football team out serving their community. As a team, they have contributed 2,645 hours of service to the Eugene/Springfield area during the past two years. You’ll find them volunteering at senior living facilities, reading to younger kids, Red Cross, Food for Lane County, Relief Nursery, St. Vincent de Paul, Lane County Search and Rescue, Toys for Tots, animal shelters, homeless shelters, community blood drives and serving their local churches.
3AHorizon Christian (Tualatin)Girls Track & FieldThe Hawks maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.83. They have been involved in collecting socks for the homeless communities in Portland, helped lead the school Operation Christmas Child program in November, and are serve in student government, National Honor Society, and a literary magazine.
2AMonroeGirls BasketballThe Dragons have enjoyed a lot of success over the past few seasons, including a 2nd place finish at the 2020 State Championship.
1APerrydaleVolleyballWhile the Pirates program has had a good amount of success on the court over the past few years, they have been instrumental parts of the school's ASB, FFA, choir, and Food For All program. The Food For All program annually collects and distributes approximately 300,000 pounds of food throughout the state. In addition to their contribution to the local community, they have also excelled in the classroom. These great ladies are often the highest achievers in the classroom as well, consistently earning spots on Perrydale's honor roll.

About This Award

The OSAA Cup began in 1999 as a way to recognize overall excellence by schools in academics, activities and athletics. The award honors a school's students, teachers, coaches and the entire school community. The Oregonian sponsored the cup from 2002-2017. The cup is currently sponsored by Pacific Office Automation as part of their increased focus on supporting Oregon's high school community.

Schools earn points based on their participation and finish in OSAA State Championships and for Top 10 finishes in the OnPoint Community Credit Union Academic All-State Program. A sportsmanship component, whereby schools are awarded points each season for having no ejections, is included as well. The points are updated and released at the end of Fall and Winter seasons and totaled at the end of the year. The school earning the highest points in each classification receives a commemorative trophy from Pacific Office Automation and the OSAA.

OSAA Cup Point System

The OSAA Cup recognizes overall school excellence in academics, activities, athletics and sportsmanship. The guiding force behind these point breakdowns is that every school that has a team or individual qualify for our state championships deserves point recognition. The amount of points is meant to be equitable across all activities with differences based on the number of teams and/or individuals participating. Teams that win a state championship will earn the same points regardless of the activity.

Academics

Schools receive points for having teams participate in the OnPoint Community Credit Union Academic All-State program. Schools receive 25 points for a team with a 3.0+ average but not in the Top 10. Schools with teams in the Top 10 in an activity receive points using the scoring breakdown listed above. The overall winner in an activity receives 200 points. Schools with teams that finish atop a classification but not overall receive 175 points. Ties for the overall winner or first place in a classification are awarded the same points. All other ties are split between the places. 50% of all academic points earned will be counted toward the final OSAA Cup standings.

Sportsmanship

A sportsmanship component was added to the calculations in 2001-2002. Schools receive 200 points per season (Fall, Winter, Spring) for having no ejections. 100 points is subtracted from a school's total for each varsity ejection of a player or coach.

Individuals in Individual Activities

Each individual who qualifies for the state championships in Cross Country, Swimming, Wrestling, Speech, Solo Music, Golf, Tennis, and Track & Field receives an automatic 10 points for his/her school, up to a maximum of 25 points for a school in an activity. Relay teams in Swimming and Track & Field get 10 points total, not 10 per relay member. Individual participants in Golf and Cross Country can earn additional points for a high finish, (30% of what a team would earn for that place in that event.) For example, an individual placing first in a golf championship receives 60 points for his/her school (60 points is 30% of 200 points.)

Leveling the Playing Field

Fall Winter Spring
6A 10 24 42
5A 10 24 40
4A 9 21 36
3A 7 15 24
2A 6 12 21
1A 4 10 12

Similar to scoring systems in other states, we don't want the winning school to just be the school that offers the most activities. For this reason we limit the number of events for which a school can earn points each season (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Once a school has reached the maximum number of events in a particular season, we delete the events in which they scored the least amount of points to reach the maximum number. Limits vary by classification as many schools in lower classifications don't offer every activity. For example a 5A school earning points in 12 different activities in the Fall will have its two lowest point totals dropped for that season. Dropped points from one season can be applied to another season up to the maximum number of activities.

Nina Takahashi - Southridge High School

Nina Takahashi participates in Dance/Drill as a member of the Southridge Hawkettes.

She was instrumental in the re-founding of the Asian & Pacific Islander Student Union (APISU) at Southridge, serving as President. The APISU has provided an outlet for Asian-American students, which has proven especially important after the rise of anti-Asian violence that coincided with Covid-19. She also served as a panel presenter this year at the Community-Wide Conversations Around Race that her school hosts annually. Nina participates in Student Government, as well. One school administrator describes Nina as “a team player, hard worker, and an individual that has a great understanding of the true values that lead to success while knowing the benefits from being engaged in her community.”

Tate Reese is a multi-sport athlete at Sunset, earning two varsity letters in Basketball and three in Tennis. He was voted in by his basketball teammates as captain for the 2021 season. Tate is also a member of the National Honor Society.

He was able to combine his desire to help others and passion for basketball by volunteering for the Beaverton Hoop Stars. As many as 40 kids participate in a practice, all of whom have their own specific challenges and skill levels. Tate designed drills and activities that everyone could do, teaching how to dribble, pass, and shoot. Along the way, his goal was to demonstrate what it means to be a good sport and good teammate. Tate will attend Santa Clara University.

OSAA Sportsmanship Award

About This Award

Beginning in the spring of 2018, the OSAA Sportsmanship Committee, along with the OAOA, implemented a sportsmanship award aimed at improving the relationship between our schools and athletic officials.

One of the leading causes of the declining number of game officials is poor sportsmanship directed towards them at athletic contests. We know not all of their experiences are negative and this award gives them the opportunity to highlight those positive experiences. Officials have the opportunity to submit a form after every contest and select which team they would like to nominate.

At the end of each season, the committee chooses a winner for each sport. That program is given a banner to hang in the gym and earns 100 OSAA Cup points for their school!

NFHS Hall of Fame - Oregon Inductees

1982 Paul
McCall		 McCall, who entered high school athletics as a coach in 1946, retired in 1980 after spending 22 years as director of athletics for Portland (Oregon) Public Schools – a system that includes 14 schools and nearly 25,000 students. McCall also gained recognition for a fund-raising drive that generated more than $230,000 from the community to offset the defeat of a school tax levy that threatened elimination of high school activities. He originated a program in conjunction with a medical association to provide injury clinics for coaches and school personnel, and encouraged the development of programs and funding for participation of girls long before Title IX.
1992 Danny Ainge Ainge played football, basketball and baseball at Eugene (Oregon) North High School and was equally successful in each. In his junior football season, Ainge was named all-league, all-state and Parade all-America as a wide receiver and defensive back. In baseball, Ainge played shortstop and hit .402, .448 and .500 in his three seasons. In his eventual professional sport, basketball, Ainge led his teams to the Oregon state championship in 1976 and 1977 with a combined record of 55-1. His basketball honors were numerous, including McDonald’s high school all-America. Ainge averaged more than 20 points per game at Brigham Young University and played and coached in the National Basketball Association.
1995 Mel
Renfro		 Renfro was an outstanding two-sport star (football, track) at Portland (Oregon) Jefferson High School (1957-60), before his illustrious career with the Dallas Cowboys. Renfro helped the Jefferson football teams win 34 consecutive games, including two state championships and one runner-up finish. He set the Portland Interscholastic League single-game scoring record of 38 points and his season total of 242 points is also a PIL record. In track, Renfro set state records in the long jump (24-1) and low hurdles (18.9) and scored 31 points himself to help Jefferson to the 1960 track title.
2000 Steve Prefontaine Prefontaine, who was one of the nation’s most dominating track and cross country runners, broke the four-minute mile mark on nine occasions and set 14 American track records. He won two Oregon state cross country championships, as well as three state track championships. Prefontaine was named the Oregon high school athlete of the year in 1969, and continued his running career at the University of Oregon. Tragically killed in an automobile accident at age 24, his life story was told in two movies.
2004 Dr. Thad Stanford The first person from the field of sports medicine to be inducted in the Hall of Fame, Stanford is one of the leaders in promoting health and safety to high school studentathletes. He was one of the founders of the Oregon Medical Aspects of Sports Committee and served as its chair. In 2001, Stanford was instrumental in passing Oregon legislation that required all school districts to conduct thorough pre-participation physical examinations. He was named to the NFHS Sports Medicine Advisory Committee in 1996 and served as chairman of the committee. Stanford oversaw the publication of the first and second editions of the NFHS Sports Medicine Handbook.
2006 Terry

As quarterback and tailback, he led his teams to two Oregon School Activities Association state championships while compiling a 23-0 record in his last two years. In baseball, he was a four-year letterman who led the Democrats to the 1959 state title as an all-state pitcher. He went on to play football at Oregon State University, where he won the Maxwell Award and was the first Heisman Trophy winner west of the Mississippi River in 1962.
2008 Dewey Sullivan Sullivan is the winningest football coach in Oregon prep history, compiling a 352-84-2 win-loss record before his death near the end of the 2006 season. He ranks 12th nationally in coaching victories by an individual at one school. Sullivan coached for 42 years (1965-2006) at Dayton (Oregon) High School and won five state championships in six appearances. He led his teams to 29 postseason appearances in 30 years, including 24 in a row to end his career. A member of the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, Sullivan registered a 36-game winning streak at one point in his career.
2012 Rod Harman Harman has coached girls and boys swimming at three Beaverton, Oregon, schools since 1956, and has won eight state championships along the way – two boys titles and six girls titles.

Lorenz’s 2011 team registered a perfect 44-0 record in the state’s largest volleyball class and won a third consecutive state title. Last year, Lorenz was named National Volleyball Coach of the Year by the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA).
2016 Joni Huntley Joni Huntley participated in three sports at Sheridan (Oregon) High School, but track and field was her claim to fame. Huntley was a three-time state high jump champion and became the first American woman to clear 6 feet in the event as a high school senior in 1974. Huntley set national records in the high jump and 100-yard hurdles on the same day at a 1974 meet, and won state titles in the high jump, hurdles and 100-yard dash. She also competed in basketball and helped the school’s volleyball team to a state title in 1973. Huntley was the first female to receive an athletic scholarship to Oregon State University, where she participated in track and field and volleyball. Huntley placed fifth in the high jump at the 1976 Olympics and won the bronze medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

2018 Dick Fosbury Dick Fosbury revolutionized the high jump when, as a sophomore at Medford (Oregon) High School in 1963, he used his new technique which eventually became known as the Fosbury Flop. The upside-down, back-layout leap led to the extinction of the Western Roll and Scissors methods and became the universal technique in high jumping. All records around the world have been established by athletes using the Fosbury Flop. Fosbury first used the technique in 1963 at a meet in Grants Pass, Oregon, improving his best from 5-4 to 5-10. He improved to 6-5½ as a senior to set a Medford High School record and placed second in the Oregon School Activities Association state meet. Later that year, he won the Oregon State Junior Championship and the National Junior Championship in Houston, Texas, where he jumped 6-7 to set an Oregon state record for high school athletes. After Fosbury’s innovative “Flop” in 1963, word quickly spread around the nation and world. In 1964, the Medford Mail-Tribune newspaper ran a photo captioned “Fosbury Flops Over Bar,” with an accompanying article that stated he looked like “a fish flopping in a boat.” That same year, newspapers in Europe and Australia were publishing photos of Fosbury’s flopping style. By the time Fosbury graduated from Medford High School in 1965 and moved on to Oregon State University, the method for high jumping was changed forever. Under the direction of track coach Berny Wagner, Fosbury continued to perfect this new unorthodox jumping style at Oregon State with a two-year performance in 1968 and 1969 that rivals anyone else in track and field history. Fosbury won back-to-back NCAA titles in 1968 and 1969, with a 7-2¼ jump in 1968. In between his NCAA titles, Fosbury won the gold medal at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City with a 7-4¼ jump, which broke both the Olympic and American records. As a result of his profound impact on track and field, Fosbury has been honored on many occasions. He has been inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame, the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, the Oregon State University Hall of Fame, the Medford Sports Hall of Fame, the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame and the SHAPE (America Society of Health and Physical Educators) Hall of Fame. In 2016, he received the USA Track & Field Legacy Award. In the years since his athletic prowess in the sport, Fosbury has been an international ambassador for track and field. In 2016, he was elected president of the United States Olympians and Paralympians Association Executive Committee, and he also served a term as president of the World Olympians Association. Fosbury continues to give back to the sport in other areas. He was chair of a fundraising committee at Oregon State University to fund the construction of a new track facility, and he continues to coach athletes at Dick Fosbury Track Camps in Maine and Idaho on an annual basis.
