“We feel really proud about the things we have
accomplished here at Silverton, and Noah has
played a huge role in the success of the program
in the last four years,” Silverton coach John Man-
nion said.
And now, Dahl gets to cap of his high school ca-
reer in the best way possible for a player in Ore-
gon.
Dahl was one of six local athletes selected to
play in the Les Schwab Bowl for high school all
stars. He is the only local player from the 5A level
to be selected for the game.
“He has gotten better every year he has been
here and has been a part of a lot of big wins,” Man-
nion said. “Noah is very deserving of this selec-
tion and I think it will be a great experience for
him.”
SPECIAL TO THE STATESMAN JOURNAL
Noah Dahl had an outstanding career as a Sil-
verton High football player, and even though he is
listed as a running back, there isn’t much on the
football field he can’t do.
He is a great receiver, catching balls both out
of the backfield and out of the slot.
As a junior in 2014, Dahl helped lead the Foxes
to a 5A state championship appearance, and
racked up first-team all-state honors for his play
both as a defensive back and as a kicker.
Dahl capped off his stellar senior season by
earning Mid-Willamette Conference first-team
all-conference honors at running back and sec-
ond-team all-state.
The game takes place at 5 p.m. June 25 at Hills-
boro Stadium.
“I am just incredibly honored and grateful to
be put in this position,” Dahl said. “We have a
great coaching staff here at Silverton who have
helped me become a better player and person and
I just feel like I owe a lot to them and the commu-
nity for supporting me and this team through the
years.”
Dahl was able to show everything he is capable
of on the football field in the second game of the
season against Marist. He scored three rushing
touchdowns and had one receiving touchdown,
which was followed up by a fumble return for a
touchdown, giving him five touchdowns on the
