MAUPIN – It was a classic heavyweight bout between two power programs scratching and clawing for a trip to Baker City. After 36 grueling minutes of overtime action that featured five ties, nine lead changes, 47 fouls called, 56 free throws attempted and four foul outs, a late 3-pointer by Crane’s Elizabeth Jenkins sent this contest to an extra session and the Mustangs outscored South Wasco County 4-1 to preserve a 48-45 victory.

MADRAS – The South Wasco County Redsides have always used a team-first approach to athletics. Playing without injured Jada Myers, the Lady Redsides had three players foul out and two other finish with four fouls, and still had enough to come away with a 51-41 victory over Sherman to capture their first Big Sky Conference championship since the 1983 season.

PORTLAND (OSAA) — Players in high school football who are detected with missing or improperly worn equipment during playing action will be removed from the game for at least one down, unless the improper equipment is directly attributable to a foul by the opponent. This revision in Rule 1-5-5 and other related rules was one of five rules changes for the 2018 season recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Football Rules Committee at its January 19-21 meeting in Indianapolis.
