Last year the reigning Oregon 5A state champs from Silverton gave Tualatin all they could handle, losing 35-28. This after the T-Wolves went on the road, beating top Northern California HS Menlo-Atherton 44-33, and trouncing this year’s preseason #1 West Linn twice, by a combined score of 84-27.
With the point being, that the gap may be closing a little bit, especially with a loaded Summit group making the move down to 5A. They return 18 starters and should make their season opener at #4 Tualatin competitive.
Other interesting out of state and multi classification matchups include defending 6A Oregon state champs Central Catholic traveling to Washington to play defending 3A state champ Bellevue, who went (14-0) last year. They will then go up against one of Cali’s best in St John Bosco the following week in Portland. Two extremely tough matchups where the Rams will be underdogs.
This year we will have combo rankings just to make it interesting among 6A & 5A schools. Have a look at the preseason top 32 as of right now with a hypothetical playoff bracket.
