Softball Preview: Fall Ball Is Back At The Jane
By: David Miller
The University of Oregon Ducks are set to take on the Corban University Warriors in their first game of the 2024 season on Sunday afternoon.
In their first friendly match of the 2023 fall season, the Ducks will test the strength of their roster when they take on the Corban Warriors. After losing leaders like Allee Bunker and Terra McGowan the Ducks are looking for who will take their role as the vocal leaders of the team.
The Ducks look to build on the momentum from last year, despite having numerous new faces on the team. Coach Melissa Lombardi spoke on moving forward. “The only way to can get better is with experience,” she added, “it’s on all of us to show them was Oregon softball looks like.”
The team is still ripe with seasoned talent at all positions. 14 of 23 Oregon players are upperclassmen, 4 of which are 5th year students.
For offensive output, the team will look to fifth-year outfielder Ariel Carlson…

HSFB: Week 6 Power Rankings
By Gavin Carpenter
We’re just over halfway through the 2023 Oregon high school football season, and with many big games coming up, a Top 15 ranking finally seemed appropriate. The teams are ranked on a few main criteria (record, strength of schedule, strength of wins, consistency, etc), and every game matters. Even in a level of the sport where many games become very lopsided very quickly, there is still much to learn from every showing, especially when there are so few games in a season. With that out of the way, let’s get into the rankings, starting with…
1: West Linn (5-0; 6A #1)
Over five games, West Linn has absolutely demolished any and all competition, including #10 Lake Oswego by 35 points and dispatching Lake Stevens (a top 5 team out of Washington) in a game where they led 35-10 at the half. They've done all this while compiling one of the best point differentials in the state, with an offense that…

Troy Franklin Proving To Be Among Nation’s Best Pass Catchers
By Aiden Hess
It’s no secret that Troy Franklin has been the favorite target of Ducks’ quarterback Bo Nix five games into the Oregon Football season. Franklin has gotten off to a crazy start to the year and easily the fastest of his collegiate career. So far in 2023, he has put up a team leading seven receiving touchdowns and 535 yards. If Franklin can keep up even a similar pace all the way through his year, we may see his name be in recognition for the Fred Biletnikoff Award given to the nation’s best wide receiver.
Last Saturday, the Ducks traveled to Palo Alto, Calif. to take on the Stanford Cardinal in their first Pac-12 matchup of the season. Oregon’s offense sputtered out of the gate, going three and out on their first two drives. Oregon trailed Stanford 3-0 after the first quarter and fell behind 6-0 after another long Cardinal field goal in the second quarter. It wasn’t until a touchdown drive in the middle of quarter number two highlighted by a…
