Soccer close to getting back to business

The governor of Oregon, Kate Brown, gave the go-ahead for high school athletes to get back on the field, at least for soccer and cross country, beginning Feb. 22. It's finally something of a victory for athletes looking for an outlet to their energy that has been sidelined for nearly a year, beginning March 12, 2020. Football teams can practice non-contact drills, but volleyball has yet to be decided on, and football games have yet to be decided on based on references to Covid-19 contamination figures the state uses to determine how much athletes should be allowed to make contact with spread of the virus as a key figure.

One goal at a time for 5A contenders

   The Class of 2013 is headed for gyms and fields across the state and onto the pages of oregonsports.com.  Game stories, features, photos, video and a blog devoted to every sport and every classification in many cases.
