On Monday, @Jonah_Lass5 was honored as the Tom Dryden Outstanding Boys Athlete of the Year at West Albany High School. I’d never heard of Mr. Drynan, but found some articles from old Democrat Heralds that make him sound like the kind of guy you all should know about too. #opreps

Oregon’s defending 5A state champion West Albany Bulldogs were back in the gym together last night for the first time since winning the schools 1st basketball state title (school opened 73 yrs ago).

Team is loaded & huge!
6’3, 6’2’, 6’1’, 6’0, 5’11, 5’10 👀

JV girls tough too!

[Andy Lasselle @AndySnacks]

In 5A only two schools made playoffs in the 8 major team sports (B&G soccer, B&G basketball, football, volleyball, baseball, and volleyball):

Wilsonville
West Albany

*did not include boys volleyball since less than half the schools participate.

Headed to @SelectEventsBB with our @OTP_Basketball team. Taking on some of the top AAU teams in the country!
Schedule ⬇️

[Ryan Starwalt🏀⚾ @RyStar7_]

Stay in the same spot until you miss two in a row. 89 for 104 before missing two in a row from the first spot. This is a tough drill because you’re getting a shot up every 2.8 seconds. So fatigue really sets in!! @starwalt_payton

[Ryan Starwalt🏀⚾ @RyStar7_]

Headed to Mesa, AZ with our 17u and playing in one of the top divisions. In fact, we’re playing one of the best teams in the country. We don’t play AAU for guaranteed wins, we play to get better & hopefully help our girls be more prepared for College!

[Oregon Top Prospects @OTP_Basketball]

2028 PG Bailey Griffin | Oregon Top Prospects 16U P32
5’7 guard out of Southridge HS with a 4.0 GPA.

Strong student. Strong culture piece. Lights out shooter with great touch around the rim.

Bailey brings toughness, shot-making and the type of character that impacts winning.

[Oregon Top Prospects @OTP_Basketball]

Oregon Top Prospects is headed to Mesa.

Our 15U, 16U, and 17U teams will be competing at the Select Events Spring Showcase May 15–17 in Mesa, Arizona.

Excited for another opportunity to compete, grow, and represent Oregon on a big stage.
