The Foxes’ football team won the Mid-Willamette Conference title and advanced to the championship game of the Class 5A tournament before falling to Hermiston, 34-12. Coach John Mannion was named Mid-Willamette coach of the year and quarterback Cole Chandler and linebacker Sam Kuschnick were named offensive and defensive players of the year, respectively. Fast forward to winter … and the success has continued. The Foxes’ boys basketball team won the Mid-Willamette title, and the girls team shared the title with Corvallis. Boys coach Steve Roth was named coach of the year, as was girls coach Tal Wold. Players of the year? Silverton’s Sam Roth for the boys and Alia Parsons for the girls. Folks, this … just … does … not … happen very often. And it has never happened at Silverton. “We just have great kids,” athletic director Greg Kaatz told Our Town. “It’s not me, that’s for sure. Our kids have a blue-collar mentality. They are smart enough to know that hard work is the key to being successful. And they’ll go through a brick wall for the guy next to them.” Kaatz is being a little modest here. Mannion and Wold were terrific hires and when boys hoops coach Darren Shryock moved on to become the AD at Stayton, longtime assistant and former head coach Steve Roth was ready to take over seamlessly.
And both the girls and boys teams still are playing. The boys closed Tuesday’s state quarterfinal game against Churchill on a 14-2 run to win 46-41 and move into a semifinal matchup Thursday (after Our Town’s presstime) with No. 1 Mountain View. The girls, meanwhile, lost a 41-40 heartbreaker Wednesday to Corvallis and dropped into a consolation bracket game Thursday against Pendleton. (Follow the Foxes throughout the tournament on my Twitter feed, @jameshday or on the Our Town Facebook page.) Kennedy girls hoops: The Trojans had a magical season, rising to No. 2 in the OSAA rankings and advancing to the semifinals of the Class 2A state tournament in Pendleton. Kennedy beat Tri-River Conference rival Regis in the quarterfinals, lost a hard-fought overtime semifinal game vs. Burns and finished in fifth place. “This season was amazing,” said Kerry Hall, who co-coaches the team with her #848 Licensed Bonded Insured
