All the Central Oregon state championship teams in the calendar year of 2011.
FOOTBALL
Mountain View – The first state football title in school history. The last time a Bend school had won a state football title was the Bend Lava Bears in 1940.
VOLLEYBALL
Crook County – Dynasty! The Cowgirls won an amazing 6th state volleyball title in a row in 2011. Crook County coach Rosie Honl has built an unreal program in Prineville.
Summit – The Storm won the first volleyball state title in school history, after two 2nd place state finishes.
TENNIS
Summit Boys – The 2011 State champs won their second title in three years and return the bulk of their team for 2012. The two state champs (2009 & 2011) are the only boys team state tennis titles in Central Oregon history.
Crook County Girls – 1985 (Bend) was the last time a Central Oregon team had won a state girls team title in tennis. The Cowgirls held off Portland private school OES 14.5-13 to get coach Lloyd Rodgers the title.
GOLF
Summit Girls – Girls golf titles have been won 6 years in a row by Bend schools, with Summit winning the past three. “Coach Hack” is your typical head football coach, head girls golf coach. With the way he is turning around Summit football, perhaps he’ll add a football title to his girls golf titles in the future!
CROSS COUNTY
Summit Girls – The 2011 Storm XC team may have been the best in Central Oregon history (Bend girls of the 90s have a strong case as well). State champs (4th in a row), and regional champions. Coach Dave Clark has built a monster XC program @ Summit.
Summit Boys – The Storm boys won their first state XC title in school history and look loaded to make another run at the title in 2012.
TRACK
Summit Girls – Dave Turnbull’s Storm won their 5th state title in a row and they did so with a record-setting 112.5 points.
Summit Boys – The Storm won their second ever state boys track title and did so by just one point! 78-77 over Marshfield.
WRESTLING
Culver – The Bulldogs have won 5 state state titles in a row @ the 1A level. Always impressive when a team can win more than 4 in a row, as it shows it much more than a dominating class of kids.

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.
Here’s how Central Oregon girls sports teams have placed in state this fall… pretty dang impressive!
