Is what I'm seeing is nobody has a chance of beating Jesuit? This is first time I have heard a general consensus on this topic. It must be true then

Jesuit has always been a magnet for wealthy athletes. The coaches go out and watch prospective students in ecnl games during the application process. It’s completely lopsided competition for all the high schools that only have neighborhood kids. All the 6A Schools should protest Jesuit being allowed to even participate in OSAA State Championships.

Compare this to if USC could recruit all over the country and world but Stanford had to pick only from players in their neighborhood. Would that be fair?

It’s silly to worry about this. Jesuit is a massive failure if they don’t win it all in girls soccer.

If we use your analogy then there are certain admission requirements that student have to meet to get into Stanford that students don't have to meet at other Pac 12 schools.

Is it fair that Phil Knight dumps money into Oregon's athletic facilities?

Jesuit has 1290 students

Sunset (2213), Westview (2552), David Douglas (2495), Clackamas (2300), Reynolds (2183)

It is girls soccer that we are talking about and there are only 20 players on a varsity soccer team.

Has Jesuit set the bar so high that anything less than a state championship is a massive failure or have we set the bar so low at the public schools that we cry about Jesuit being allowed to play OSAA?

You are making the assumption Jesuit recruits. Coaches have ZERO input on admission process. I know the year my daughters team won state more than 90% of her teammates had come up thru catholic education system since grade school

You should start the petition and protest.

"I don't want Jesuit to be allowed to participate in OSAA State Championship because my daughter feels really bad that her team keeps losing to Jesuit.... "

Why not allow Timbers Developmemt Academy to play OSAA also? Same difference
Yes and coaches do have input in admissions.

Jesuit has players from all over the city. Most schools have players from their neighborhoods.

It’s fine. Jesuit gets an asterisk next to every win in every sport.

It’s kibd of like if the U18 WNT played Eastside Timbers U18. Eastside has 5-6 really good local players. WNT is recruiting from all over.

It is unfair as it is. It would also add another competitive team to either 5A or 6A. Everybody wins!

Jesuit is a decent school. But unpleasant socially. Lots of rich, entitled brats.

Nothing wrong with being from a rich family.

Jesuit is a magnet for wealthy AND unwealthy athletes. There are scholarships and well .....the definition of "wealthy" is quite flexible. I guarantee that the percentage of athletes receiving financial aid is higher than the rest of the school populace, similar to any Division 1 or 2 athletic program.
That being said, they are no different from other schools that have the powerhouse reputation built on a proven methodology and then backing it up with accomplishments year after year.

A proven methodology of bringing in top athletes from all over the city to create powerhouse teams?

Isn’t Jesuit technically a 5A school. They should petition OSAA to let the Jesuit JV team compete in 5A. If not, they should let Jesuit have 2 varsity teams in 6A. There are too many great players at Jesuit missing opportunities because they have to play JV.

They still have opportunities but they almost always have to wait. Its like the old days when one had to kind of get in line to make varsity unless you are the next Tobin Heath.

The JV games have to absolutely suck so the kids are programmed to remember that their 'real jobs' are (1) school and (2) ECNL where they will be looked at even at Sophomores. DA Jesuit kids don't have to worry about any of the drama!

The Jesuit coaches work and amazing kind of a magic so that even the JV kids are decently happy being JV perhaps with the knowledge they are going to have their day in the sun. Except there won't be much sun. We're in Oregon.

Why not let Jesuit have two varsity teams in 6A or let JV play 5A and be a little more challenged? They are a 5A school by attendance numbers.
