1. West Linn

The Lions continue to devour the opposition, helping them become Oregon’s top offensive and defensive team. That defensive tenacity was displayed during their 13-0 road win against sixth-ranked Lakeridge. While they didn’t score like they’ve done in their first five games, West Linn completed its third straight shutout victory and fourth in their last five matches. The Lions must continue to roar on defense to thwart Lake Oswego in their Oct. 18 showdown.

2. Central Catholic

The Rams scored their sixth victory in the 2024 Oregon high school football season after dominating Nelson 37-12. After a 14-12 halftime lead, Central Catholic embarked on a 23-0 run to maintain its undefeated record. The Rams defense generated a pick six and a safety, stretching its lead from two to 11. Central Catholic has an average winning margin of 22.33 points through six games. That figure doesn’t bode well for their next opponent, Sandy, on the 18^th.

3. Sheldon

The Irish found another gear to dominate their opponents further. From averaging 41.6 points in their first three games, they’ve tallied at least 65 points in each of their next three matches. That stretch includes their 66-13 demolition of South Salem, wherein Mana Tuioti completed 70 rushing yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Sheldon’s defense finished with seven tackles for losses and four sacks against the Saxons. The Irish can extend their winning streak to seven games by defeating 23^rd-ranked South Medford on the road.

4. Lake Oswego

The Lakers celebrated their seventh consecutive victory by disposing of Tigard 35-15. Lake Oswego limited the Tigers to 184 yards on offense, including 62 yards on the ground. Throughout the season, the Lakers have never scored below 33 points and have limited three opponents to single-digits. In doing so, they are ranked fifth in offense and defense. Lake Oswego can improve to 7-0 if they can upset top-ranked West Linn on the road.

5. Tualatin

The Timberwolves bounced back to the win column after losing to fourth-ranked Lake Oswego. Oregon City was no match for Tualatin, as the home team limited the Pioneers to six points. The Timberwolves have been on a roller coaster ride, alternating wins and losses in their last four games. However, it won’t get any easier as they visit sixth-ranked Lakeridge for their next match.

6. Lakeridge

The Pacers’ home loss to West Linn snapped their five-game winning streak. Lakeridge’s fate flipped because they had a shutout victory against Oregon City the previous week. Despite the loss, the Pacers proved their status as the second-best defense in Oregon high school football by limiting the state’s top-ranked team to 13 points. Maintaining that tenacity on defense should give them an edge during their highly anticipated showdown with Tualatin.

7. Jesuit

The Crusaders’ season-opening loss to Tualatin is a distant memory after they’ve rattled off five consecutive victories. In their latest match, Jesuit dominated Beaverton by scoring a season-high 61 points, thanks to 447 total yards on offense. The Crusaders can advance to 6-1 by chalking up a victory against Mountainside on the 18^th.

8. Sherwood

The Bowmen have been on target lately, completing three consecutive victories. Their most impressive win came in the 2024 Oregon high school football season against Century when Sherwood essentially finished the match after the first two quarters by building a 43-0 lead. After playing at home in their last two games, the Bowmen will hunt on the road as they visit McMinnville this Friday.

9. Wilsonville

A loss to Lakeridge halted what could have been an unblemished run for the Wildcats. However, they’ve won two straight games, defeating Central/Kings Valley and Canby. While the Wilsonville defense limited the Canby Cougars to six points, quarterback Mark Wiepert had 25 completions for 362 passing yards and six touchdowns. Nick Crowley caught three scoring throws as part of his 134-yard output. However, while they have found their groove lately, a tough challenge awaits Wilsonville as they visit Silverton.

10. Silverton

Make that three consecutive wins for the Foxes after defeating Central 48-6. Silverton has been on a roll after their humiliating defeat at home to fourth-ranked Lake Oswego. Since then, they’ve averaged 41.3 points per game, placing them ninth on the offensive rankings. Conversely, the Foxes limited opponents to 47 total points, with two teams scoring in single digits. Silverton’s season continues as they host Wilsonville on the 18^th.
