Central Catholic will be looking to become the first school to repeat as the big-school state volleyball champion in Oregon since Gresham did back in 2001-2002. Central Catholic won the 2009 Class 6A title, their first since they had won the then 4A title in 2000.
Since Oregon moved to six classifications in 2006, Crook County has won all four Class 5A state volleyball titles. The good news for the rest of 5A is that in 2010 Crook County is moving to Class 4A. This move means a lot for Central Oregon schools. Sisters is the reigning 4A champions and will have to now deal with the Cowgirls. The Crook County move is good news for the Bend schools. Crook County beat Summit in the state finals in 2009 and 2007. Crook County beat Mountain View in the finals in 2008 and 2006.
2009 State champions:
6A – Central Catholic
5A – Crook County
4A – Sisters
3A – Santiam Christian
2A – Blanchet Catholic
1A – Imbler
Changes in realignment, hybrid conferences and a new state tournament highlight the 2010 Oregon high school boys soccer season. Everything is going to be a little different as the OSAA made some major changes prior to the season. Here’s how things went last year and how they lineup this year.
The Salem-area schools (Central Valley Conference) were tough in Class 6A last year, with three of the eighth quarterfinal teams (West Salem, McNary and South Salem) with South Salem winning it all. Apart from losing Redmond not much changes in the CVC. South Medford beat Jesuit 1-0 in the semifinal before falling to South Salem 2-1.
In Class 5A, the Intermountain Conference is now just three teams (Bend, Mountain View and Summit). That’s a tough one considering that Summit was the IMC champion last year and Mountain View beat Bend in the state semifinals. 5A state-champion Corvallis is part of the eight-team Mid-Willamette Conference.
2009 State Champions
6A – South Salem
5A – Corvallis
4A – La Salle Prep
3A/2A/1A – Oregon Episcopal
