OSAA 4A Girls Championship Basketball
The Southridge Skyhawks were in full flight during the OSAA 4A Girls Championship Tournament as the Lady Skyhawks won their second state title in a year with a convincing come-from-behind victory over the Oregon City Pioneers 55-46.  Despite waltzing through the preliminary games, the Skyhawks had to recover from an early first quarter 13 point deficit in the championship game to claim the title over Oregon City, 10 time state champions.  The Tualatin Timberwolves finished a solid season with a third place finish by defeating Ashland 81-49.
