    Best 6A teams of the Fall

    I already did this for the Class 5A so I was curious how the 6A would look. No big surprise that Jesuit dominated both sides. On the boys’ side, Beaverton was second… that caught me by surprise a little bit.

    I’m kind of an NBA draft nerd. I just wrote an article titled “Best NBA draft ever.” Here are a few other good NBA draft articles.

    I love the NBA draft. It is my favorite not sports, sporting event… if that makes any sense. :-) Check back here for more NBA draft article links.

    Volleyball: Teams and players to watch – The Oregonian

    Jenna Mattox

    Bend sophomore Jenna Mattox had an amazing Fall last year. She was the top placing freshman in the Class 5A state cross county meet and led her team to a 5th place finish, but that wasn’t all she did last Fall. She also won a state championship with the Lava Bears soccer team. Mattox is at it again this fall playing both sports and looking to join her older sister Kimber as an individual cross country state champion. She took some time from her very busy schedule to answer some questions for Central Oregon Athlete:

    Central Oregon Athlete – How busy is your Fall as a two/sport athlete?
    Jenna Mattox – It’s been pretty busy but my coaches have been great about allowing me compete in both sports. We plan my week of workouts ahead of time.

    COA – Any special moves to balance soccer and XC, like morning runs or anything like that?
    JM – I try to make up missed workouts on my own.

    COA – How are the two sports different for you?
    JM – They have some similarities but cross country allows me to strive for personal goals as well as team goals.

    COA – What’s it like to have a family with such a strong running tradition at Bend High?
    JM – Having my older brother and sister having success for Bend High as well as my cousin Ryan Douglass, I’m more motivated to push myself.

    COA – What are your goals this soccer season?
    JM – To improve my skills and have fun, while helping my team reach their goals.

    COA – What are your goals this XC season?
    JM – Help Bend High make it to state by improving my times. I would love to run at border clash again.

    COA – What do you like to do when you aren’t playing sports?
    JM – I love to hang out with family and friends. I enjoy all types of crafts and baking.

    COA – What is your favorite workout in Central Oregon?
    JM – I love hill repeats on Pilot Butte, but probably my favorite workouts are “Kyle Will” workouts (strength training).

    COA – What has been the highlight so far of your young sports career?
    JM – At the district meet last year after our team had worked so hard, realizing we had earned a spot at the state meet.

    Best NBA draft ever

    COA,Pros — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Josh Cordell @ 11:27 am

    1984, 1996 or 2003?

    First let’s put together a fictional starting lineup from each draft:

    1984
    G – John Stockton
    G – Michael Jordan
    C – Hakeem Olajuwon
    F – Charles Barkley
    F – Kevin Willis

    1996
    G – Steve Nash
    G – Allen Iverson
    C – Ben Wallace
    F – Kobe Bryant
    F – Jermaine O’Neal

    2003
    G – Dwayne Wade
    G – LeBron James
    C – Chris Kaman
    F – Carmelo Anthony
    F – Chris Bosh

    1996 was hard to pick a starting five, because it was very guard heavy, so I went with a three guard lineup, because you can’t leave one of those guys out. I think that if all the players were in their prime… 1984 would be tough to beat, but I don’t think the 2003 players are in their prime yet. Any lineup with Jordan, Barkley, Olajuwon is going to be untouchable and to have Stockton running the show and getting those guys the ball in the right place makes them the favorite in my book.

    The 1996 draft has to be considered the deepest ever with: Allen Iverson (No. 1), Marcus Camby (No. 2), Shareef Abdur-Rahim (No. 3), Stephon Marbury (No. 4), Ray Allen (No. 5), Antoine Walker (No. 6), Kobe Bryant (No. 13), Peja Stojakovic (No. 14), Steve Nash (No. 15), Jermaine O’Neal (No. 17), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (No. 20) and Ben Wallace (undrafted).

    The 2003 draft was also very deep: LeBron James (No. 1), Carmelo Anthony (No. 3), Chris Bosh (No. 4), Dwayne Wade (No. 5), Chris Kaman (No. 6), David West (No. 18), Josh Howard (No. 29) and Mo Williams (No. 47). James, Wade and Bosh are now teammates, which could make this draft go down as the most dominant as far as wins go if the Miami Heat trio can win the 10 or so titles they are hoping for. Wade already has one.

    So I’m going to say that the deepest draft ever is 1996, the best ever is 1984 and potentially the bestest ever is 2003.
