<p>All the Central Oregon state championship teams in the calendar year of 2011.<br />
<strong>FOOTBALL</strong><br />
<strong>Mountain View</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>VOLLEYBALL</strong><br />
<strong>Crook County</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>Summit</strong> &#8211; The Storm won the first volleyball state title in school history, after two 2nd place state finishes.</p>
<p><strong>TENNIS</strong><br />
<strong>Summit Boys</strong> &#8211; 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 &#038; 2011) are the only boys team state tennis titles in Central Oregon history.</p>
<p><strong>Crook County Girls</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>GOLF</strong><br />
<strong>Summit Girls</strong> &#8211; Girls golf titles have been won 6 years in a row by Bend schools, with Summit winning the past three. &#8220;Coach Hack&#8221; is your typical head football coach, head girls golf coach. With the way he is turning around Summit football, perhaps he&#8217;ll add a football title to his girls golf titles in the future!</p>
<p><strong>CROSS COUNTY</strong><br />
<strong>Summit  Girls</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>Summit Boys</strong> &#8211; The Storm boys won their first state XC title in school history and look loaded to make another run at the title in 2012.</p>
<p><strong>TRACK</strong><br />
<strong>Summit Girls</strong> &#8211; Dave Turnbull&#8217;s Storm won their 5th state title in a row and they did so with a record-setting 112.5 points.</p>
<p><strong>Summit Boys</strong> &#8211; The Storm won their second ever state boys track title and did so by just one point! 78-77 over Marshfield.</p>
<p><strong>WRESTLING</strong><br />
<strong>Culver</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Four 5A teams and five 4A teams mean C.O. can have it's own prep conference.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the addition of Redmond&#8217;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&#8217;t fix the &#8220;special district&#8221; problem for &#8220;individual sports.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>2011-2012 Central Oregon Teams</strong><br />
<strong>5A</strong><br />
Bend<br />
Mountain View<br />
Redmond<br />
Summit<br />
<strong>4A</strong><br />
Crook County<br />
La Pine<br />
Madras<br />
Ridgeview (new Redmond school)<br />
Sisters</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t have to change anything, as it&#8217;s not important that teams meet before districts. Tennis is a different scenario where teams do need to face each other in &#8220;dual matches&#8221; before a district competition (at least that&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
