UPDATE: A Texas military contractor rescinded its offer to lease land at the Newport Municipal Airport, city officials announced tonight.

But Newport believes ICE is still working to build a detention center somewhere on the Oregon Coast.

While Billups has not been convicted of the federal charges against him, there is almost certainly no coming back for the coach who helped put the Trail Blazers on the right path.

Every year, people in Oregon wax poetic about how the OSAA rankings create disastrous brackets. They are fair arguments.

But also, the grass doesn't seem to be greener in other states that use different methods of crafting their playoffs soooooo #opreps

Fan fact of the day:
Oregon's girls soccer state championships, in all 4 classifications, will be No. 1 vs. No. 2.
Meanwhile, the boys classifications will have no No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups. In fact, the top two seeds didn't make the finals for 6A and 5A #opreps

Oregon DHS lawyers have made a practice of trying to protect the state from claims that the agency was negligent in protecting a child by turning the blame on the child’s parent, even if the parent had not previously been named.

They sued Oregon when kids suffered or died. State attorneys shifted blame – to parents
Facing negligence lawsuits, the state has sometimes sued parents not otherwise accused of their children’s abuse. Oregon’s new attorney general told his staff to dial it back.

When West Linn hosts nonleague opponents, there’s a decent chance the boundary becomes an issue. The Lincoln girls are clearly missing the yellow line and running out to the blue. It’s caused a few awkward out of bounds moments so far #opreps

Just saying: this was the first game of a double-header at West Linn HS. The girls are playing now and almost everyone who was here taking pictures on the sideline in the first game is now gone

Really sad to see

In 2025 ESPN will platform anti-vaxxers and slut shamers.
