He is the only member of the staff not to attend the high school, though his daughter, Rane Jensen, did, graduating in 2018, the last time Crater went to the state tournament. Rane Jensen and assistant coach Paige Berriochoa are the only Crater players ever to earn First Team All-State honors…Other than junior libero Dani Street, Crescent Valley’s best players are all sophomores. Kamden Mitchell and Taelyn Bentley won state in girls basketball for the Raiders last March as freshmen…La Salle Prep’s bookend middles, senior Olivia Maulding and junior Hailey Heytveldt, each ranks among the top five in the state in blocks…

Silverton boasts 2021 Oregon Gatorade POY Alexis Haury. The University of Washington recruit is one of the top setters nationwide in her class…Silverton calls its team manager “Bruce” (presumably after Bruce Wayne), because of a fun lip-synching battle in Bend at the beginning of the season, when she played the alter ego…South Albany has no juniors on its roster.

All four losses came to teams playing in the 5A or 6A state tournament…Co-head coach Kelle Angel was a high school senior at South Albany the last time the school appeared in a state tournament… Defending state champion West Albany is back at state despite heavy graduation losses from a year ago. The Bulldogs bonded by doing a team karaoke session before each home game…Wilsonville is back at state despite graduating four impact players, including superstar OH Ashli Edmiston, who is now at Abilene Christian…Edmiston is second on the Wildcats in kills and first in digs…Wilsonville, which has been state runner up the last two times a formal tournament was conducted, is led this year by setter-turned-outside Makenna Wiepert, a senior who will set collegiately for Texas-San Antonio next year.

Did you know?

Baker is the 2022 Regional Sportsmanship Award recipient…Cascade, the defending 4A champions, bought a “team fish” that shares the team colors of black and yellow. Cascade named the fish, "Pickles Aquaphor Cougar the Third aka Super Freaky Girl…" Crook County has eight state titles. The Cowgirls have never been in a state championship match that they have not won…Henley has lost three times to Mazama. They are the Hornets’ only 4A losses this year. If both Henley and Mazama win (or lose) quarterfinal matches, they will play for a fifth time at the state tournament.

Top-seeded Marshfield has a team mascot, “Meter,” that is a baby doll. It has its own Instagram account and many have thought it was a real baby when the team comes into the gym…Mazama boasts two sets of twins on its roster: Isabelle and Sandra Hill and Isabella and Alexia Lowe…The last time The Dalles placed among the top four at state was 1998, when assistant coach Teresa Morris was on the team. The Dalles was 7-11 in coach Julie Summers’ first year at the school and has tripled its season win total one year later. Summer said the secret was creating opportunities for the players to play. “My coaching style is that I am their biggest supporter,” she added. “I don’t expect perfection but I expect them to work hard and do their best.” Tillamook’s players go crazy for a Grandpa Dave’s fresh-squeezed frozen apple juice…

Assistant coaches Emma Hoke and Jasmine Ruiz played on the last Culver state championship team 10 years ago…Gaston, with 24-year-old alumna Charity Hall, has one of the youngest coaching staffs in the area. “Many other coaches and officials think we are just assistants or students, which makes it that much sweeter for us when we coach our girls and get the win,” Hall said…Monroe won its league for the fourth straight year in 2022. The Dragons did not drop a set in league play…Oakland is in the state tournament one year after a 3-17 campaign…The Oakers’ three wins last year came against teams that combined for just five wins in 2021…Tia Picknell’s strong senior season – she is second in the state in blocks – is a key reason for the turnaround. Picknell played at 6A Roseburg as a freshman and was injured her sophomore and junior seasons.

Oakridge’s players remember January, 2021, when the only option was to play outdoors on the tennis courts no matter the weather. That’s why they rush to get on the court, music blaring, to play their “pickup game” before practice, a combination of warm ups, dancing and singing…Aly Herber leads the state in kills for defending 2A champion Salem Academy…Of Stanfield’s 11 players, SEVEN are in their first year on varsity! Assistant coach Devon Stackhouse Bruckner was on the Willamina team that placed second in 2011…Hallee Hughes, Willamina’s top attacker, is the reigning 3A champion in both the javelin and discus.
