To 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.

Your neighbor saves a public parking spot with an orange cone. Do you move it?

Street parking is scarce after a snowstorm. Your neighbor spent an hour digging out the space in front of their home and now guards it with an orange cone, even though curb spaces legally belong to everyone. You arrive tired and the cone is blocking the only open spot.

Can effort create a personal claim to something public?
