Wilsonvile Spokesman · Independence, OR
Nearby: Independence, ORTo be honest, the Wilsonville volleyball team didn’t get everything it wanted from the Class 5A state tournament. That said, the Wildcats couldn’t have asked for anything more from their 2026 season. No. 5 Wilsonville, the Greater Metro Conference champion, won its way back to the 5A tournament for the eighth straight year, and while the Wildcats lost both their matches at state, they left 2026 with nothing but appreciation for their accomplishments. The 5A state tournament was held Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6-7, at Central High School in Independence. The quotes and the stats “There were some doubts going into it, but we pushed each point to our full potential,” said Wilsonville junior libero Jesse Bambach, who led her team with 40 digs at state. “I’m super proud of how we played and end of this season.” “We came out strong in both of our [matches] this tournament,” said Wildcat senior outside hitter Teagan Hamilton, the GMC Player of the Year.
Molalla Pioneer / Herald Pioneer · McMinnville, OR
Nearby: McMinnville, ORLocal conventional wisdom thought this year’s Ward 3 city council race in McMinnville would have a conventional outcome. The probable winner would be Carson Benner, an uncontroversial incumbent, a centrist and long-time school board member active in many local civic groups. His main challenger appeared to be Realtor Katie Russ, backed by political heavyweights on the right and by the county Republican Party. Her main chance to succeed would come if the Benner vote was diminished by the less-connected third candidate, Richard Smith Savage, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. The conventional wisdom was wrong. Russ has taken a distinct third place, and in voting tallies as of the evening of Nov. 11, Savage, the Democratic Socialist — an identification he doesn’t highlight on his website but has in news reports — had a slight lead over Benner for the one competitive McMinnville council seat.

Sports Illustrated · Corvallis, OR
Nearby: Corvallis, ORIt's never too early to start thinking about the transfer portal. Retention talks, in which programs try to re-sign their best players before they can even think about hitting the portal seeking greener pastures, are already in full swing. Several star players across the nation, most notably Oregon State's dynamic quarterback-wide receiver duo of Braden Atkinson and Jesse Legree, have both already announced that they're running it back in Corvallis next season. In the Big Ten, Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea has already re-signed with Nebraska for 2027. Wisconsin hasn't made any such talks public. There was some smoke that the Badgers were engaged in retention talks with Colton Joseph, but that was before they benched him for true freshman Ryan Hopkins. Now, Joseph's most likely future looks like the transfer portal once again. And speaking of the portal, an early target that makes a whole lot of sense for Wisconsin has emerged: North Dakota State cornerback Marion Moore.
The Bulletin · Corvallis, OR
Nearby: Corvallis, ORThe nation’s leading passer is staying in Corvallis. Oregon State quarterback Braden Atkinson has re-signed with the Beavers for the 2027 season, a source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to The Oregonian/OregonLive. ESPN first reported the news. Atkinson’s return, which has been negotiated for several weeks, comes 18 days after receiver Jesse Legree announced he was re-signing with OSU and gives the Beavers two critical pieces to build around in JaMarcus Shephard’s second season. Atkinson and Legree each signed with Nike’s Blue Ribbon Elite NIL program last week, the first two OSU athletes to do so. Atkinson is completing 65.8% of his passes for 3,169 yards with 25 touchdowns and three interceptions this season. He’s also rushed for two scores and caught a touchdown.
