Bend is in its second elite-8 since the reclassification, all eight schools have qualified at least once. Willamette is the defending state champion and is going for their third state title in four years. The only other 5A champion is Jefferson, who won in 2008. Five of the eight teams are league champions. The Southern Sky and the Intermountain Conference are the only leagues with two representatives in the final eight.
