The Oregon Athletic Coaches Association each year publishes its All-Sports Standings. The rankings are based solely on the athletic accomplishments of Oregon’s high school teams and are by classification, 1A-6A. Separate boys and girls champions are named, as well as a combined boys and girls champion.

Valley Catholic has been named Oregon’s #1 3A overall athletic program—boys and girls teams combined. Here are the Top 4 overall athletic programs in the state:

PLACE	SCHOOL	SCORE
1st	Valley Catholic	96 points
2nd	Catlin Gabel	79 points
3rd	Cascade Christian	74 points
4th	Burns	62 points

Valley was also named the 2008-09 3A Girls Champion—our girls athletic program, that is, combined for more success than that of any other 3A school in Oregon . . . easily.  Here are the Top 4 girls programs: 

PLACE	SCHOOL	SCORE
1st	Valley Catholic	80 points
2nd	Catlin Gabel	44 points
3rd	Burns	36 points
Tied for 4th	OES	27 points
Tied for 4th	Ranier	27 points

Valley’s girls also scored 18 more points than the boys’ #1 program and a point more than any other school’s combined teams.

Congratulations to all athletes and coaches on your hard work—and to all of us for our generous-minded support of each other.

On another sports note, the OSAA recognized the Valley Catholic High School varsity football team as a top ten academic program this fall as a result of their combined 3.04 GPA. Valley finished 7th overall at the 3A level, the only fall sport here to rank in the top 10. This shows great dedication to both the coaches and teachers that our students continue to play hard and study hard.
