With the addition of Redmond’s new Ridgeview high school and Redmond high moving from 6A to 5A, a Central Oregon league in 2011-2012 will mean less travel. But it won’t fix the “special district” problem for “individual sports.”

This is ideal for basketball, where a nine-team league gives each school a 16-game regular season. In football you could have a 5A and a 4A division. Baseball, softball and soccer could play one or two games against each opponent and have a nice schedule.
Sports that rely on a district meet to qualify for state like tennis, golf, wrestling, cross country and track will be affected in different ways by the new league. A sport like cross county doesn’t have to change anything, as it’s not important that teams meet before districts. Tennis is a different scenario where teams do need to face each other in “dual matches” before a district competition (at least that’s what most teams believe). This means that either CO would have a 4-team tennis district tournament or more likely play a district tourney with teams on the Columbia, therefore having to schedule matches with them as well.
No matter how it all shakes out, a Central Oregon league would be great for players, coaches, fans and Central Oregon in general! Less travel and less money spent on athletics.

Is there a flaw in the system when Summit and Mountain View meet up in what is essentially the first round of the state tournament? It’s called the quarterfinals, but volleyball like basketball is truly an 8-team state tournament. When you reach the quarterfinals you got to the “state tournament” held in one location over a three-day span complete with consolation and playing out for 3rd-4th.
So why isn’t the round of 8 reseeded to put league opponents on opposite sides of the draw? I do like the power ranking system. It’s not perfect, but no system is. I think however in addition to using the power rankings, league teams should be separated.
