Congratulations to Marcos Cuellar

Congratulations to Marcos Cuellar. Marcos was voted 1st team all-state soccer by the coaches from around the state. Quite an honor for Marcos to be recognized by the coaches. This is a recognition of skill and talent as opposed to popularity.

Congratulations to Sal Herrera

Sal Herrera has been chosen by the Salem Sports and Breakfast Club as their Senior Athlete of the Year for football. Sal also, as you know, was the Central Valley Conference offensive player of the year. This is quite and honor for Sal. It reflects not only his performance on the field but his growth as a young man with the maturity, commitment, and leadership that accompanies such growth.

An honor well-deserved.

Congratulations to Football

Lots of tears running down the faces of some very big and tough kids. Obviously our football players are disappointed. Winners, when they don't win, usually are. However, to be one of the final four teams is a pretty impressive accomplishment in itself. That thought will grow on people with time. Beyond that, our coaches and kids, present themselves in a manner that can make all of us proud they are Titans. They are an easy group to root for.

10 and 2 on the season and two playoff victories? A job well done.

West Salem/Canby

Hi everyone!

The OSAA asked me to ask our fans a favor after we beat Jesuit (those are my words, not the OSAA's). I'm hoping you can spread the word for me.

West Salem and Canby are assigned the same seating sections. In the past there has been some conflict between the fans for the first game and the incoming fans for the second game. It results when fans from the first game desire to stay in the spectator section in which they have been seated (and they totally have that right, as all tickets are general admission) and that now is the cheering section for the incoming team. Understandably, the fans coming in would like to sit as a block, just as our fans would want to.

What I would ask of our fans is to be considerate of the Canby folks who love their team probably as much as we love ours. (Hard to imagine!) If Canby fans start to surround you, if you wouldn't mind moving so they could be together, it would be greatly appreciated. I'd hope they would do the same for us and am sure they would.

The chances of this being an issue for us are slim and none. However, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If we can avoid any conflict by just making folks aware, it would be awesome.

Go Titans!!

Rooter Bus/Tickets/Start Time

If you are interested in riding the rooter bus for parents and other adults, please contact Lori Norton or JoAnne Pfau at West.

The student rooter bus seats 56. With two chaperones, we have seating for 54 students. We need to have at least 30 to take the bus. The bus will leave West at 2:45 and return to West after the game - no muss, no fuss. Tickets for the student rooter bus can be purchased at the bookkeeper's window at West. We will make a "go/no go" determination by mid-day on Thursday. Come buy your tickets.

Pre-sale tickets will be on sale beginning Wednesday morning at the bookkeeper's window at West. These are OSAA ticket prices. Adults are $9.00. Students at $6.00.

Everyone knows by now but start time is 5:00 p.m. Our game will be followed by Sheldon/Canby.
