Sisters All-Conference Celebration and Tourney
June 18-19th, Sisters
|
Thanks to hard work by conference coaches, parents, and players, and, of course, Tourney lead organizer coach Jeff Melville of Summit, the 2016 Sisters All-Conference Celebration and Tourney was another success. Near record attendance with players from all eight conferences met to combine into for four full teams and two days of games at Sisters High School Stadium. High Desert, North Valley, SouthWest, and Pacific conference teams were filled out with spare players from Metro, Three Rivers, Columbia, and Northwest conferences. An atmosphere stoked by good attitude and clean play made for a wonderful time for all involved: parents, players, and coaches alike.

All Star Game Nominees Released
May 30th
The All Star Game Nominees are on the 2016 All Star Nominee Page. The page consists of of nominees and alternate players to participate in the All Star Game on Championship Saturday at 4:30pm. As noted earlier this is a single game, there will still be a separate All Star Tourney in Sisters the weekend of June 18th & 19th. Due to this being first AllStar Game of this kind, there has been some confusion on the selection process. This has resulted in some rearrangement of the initial nominee list released on Monday to conform to the guideline that there be three nominees per conference for three positions (Attack, Middie, & Defense). The total number of candidate players has not changed and neither has the criteria for selection of players in the game: After the nominees, the teams will be filled out at the discretion of the AllStar coaches based on the availability of players. IMPORTANT NOTE: Because some nominees will be playing in one of the finals on Saturday or some players may not be able to participate for personal reasons, there is uncertainty for the AllStar coaches as to who can actually play. For this reason an RSVP system has been created (similar to the one for the All Star Tourney), that will allow the coaches to know who can really make the game. So it is important all the nominated players, whether nominees or alternates, RSVP Yes or No as soon as possible using the RSVP button on teh 2016 All Star Nominee Page. This the All Star Game coaches will have a pool of confirmed players from which they can put together their teams using alternates if necessary. If players wish to participate in the All Star Tourney this is a separate RSVP, accessed from the All-Conference page (any All-Conference player is eligible to play in the AllStar Tourney in Sisters). Beaverton High School will host Championship Saturday and there will be three high school level games: Cascade Cup Final at 2pm, first annual OHSLA All Star game at 4:30pm, and the OHSLA Championship at 7pm. For more information on Championship Day, including parking directions and detailed schedule, checkout the Championship Page on the Beaverton Lacrosse website.

All-Conference Teams Published
May 27th
With our content manager a little overwhelmed at his real job, the All-Conference teams were posted but not announced on this page. Many apologies. The teams are posted on the Honors page. The Invitees for the AllStar Game will be posted tomorrow. Important note about AllStar Game: Since some invitees may not be able to participate in the AllStar game (because they are playing in the Championship or can't travel), the AllStar coaches will need to hear from players on their status. For this reason players invited to participate in the AllStar game will be asked to RSVP so that coaches know whether they need to call up more alternates. When the AllStar team is posted, players are asked to please RSVP ASAP.

First Annual OHSLA All-Star Game
June 4th, Beaverton Stadium
The OHSLA is excited to announce the first ever All-Star game on Championship Saturday, featuring the best available players from all conferences in the state. Unlike the All-Star Tourney weekend, this is not a league vs league game. Players will be divided up to make even teams in order to have an evenly matched and fun game. Since the Game will be played on Championship day (June 4th), players involved in State Championship game or Cascade final will not eligible and, if selected for a team, be replaced by alternates for the game. Selection Process: 3 players (1 att, 1 Mid, 1 Def) from each conference statewide will be selected for the game. Each of the eight conferences state wide will submit the 3 players with their All-Conference team choices on May 24th. Rosters will then be filled out by the team coaches (former OHSLA HS coaches) using OHSLA all league selections. Each team will have 22-24 players. Recommendations will be used from current OHSLA coaches after all conference selection process is finished. All players will receive an all star game apparel package including a Nike reversible, Nike fly shorts and a performance shirt (provided by sponsors Nike and BSN sports) as commemorative keepsakes. The OHSLA is thrilled to provide this great experience for the many talented players statewide and hope it is a great addition to Championship Saturday.
