My wife was OCHS Class of '72. And OC sucked at pretty much every sport back then......or so her yearbooks indicate......
Yes, that doesn't surprise me. I bet they still beat Molalla though... Lol Assuming they even played.
They were 3A before reclassification, but on the smaller side for their conference. Not sure what they are now, but my HS was only 100 or so students larger. They just sucked at sports.
I'm waiting for the "Best 4 block neighborhood to live in polls to come out" .....where can you find 4 blocks of completely good, trustworthy, honest neighbors?
I went to LaSalle when it was brand new. My freshman year was our first year of varsity sports, so that went about as well as you can imagine. Thankfully, Molalla (among others) was in our conference so our teams never went winless.......
My greatest high school sports memory was beating La Salle in basketball in their Brick Oven. They hadn't lost at home in years.
That's actually where my sister lives. She owns what used to be the Dicky Prairie store. It is very nice out there.....despite the loud banjo twanging.......
My kids practice there with their club team. It's been newly renovated. Very nice gym, but they still call it the Brick Oven!
My best friend and I were the center and pf, and we're both 6'4". Your starting pg was 6'3. I'm pretty sure you guys even went on to win state that year. But we were happy with the victory. You guys sucked at football. That was always fun.
Yep. Football was the one thing Gladstone was very, very good at back in the day. Unfortunately, LaSalle couldn't afford a football team until after I graduated. And they only did it then because the old Portland Storm (of the World Football League???) donated all their equipment to the school when the league folded. And it only took LaSalle 45 years to win a state championship. and probably another 45 years until they do it again.....
When I was in hs a met a girl that was from there. She and a few of her friends would drive down to broadway and/or The Speck. She turned me on to the logging bridge swimming hole out that way.
Some folks can keep a secret! I say all the time...don't move to Lane County! Crime, meth, more crime, homelessness, constant rain, folks you don't want to move here....move to Nashville!
