sem ifinals o f the O regon 5 A football cham pi­
onship series for the second year in a row.
The D em ocrats face Sherw ood on Satur­
day, Dec. 5 at 3 p.m at PGE Park.
Jefferson beat G lencoe, 41-21 last Satur­
day in H illsboro to set up the matchup.
T he 5A Portland Interscholastic League
cham pions w ere able to stop G lencoe from
scoring on a long opening drive and then
scored four tim es in a row. The Dem ocrats
won rave review s for their big offensive line,
defensive pursuit and speed to tum the gam e
into a physical mismatch.
The upcoming matchup with Sherwood will
be the second this y ear betw een th e tw o
teams. Sherwood beat Jefferson 40-7 on Sept.
18.
If Jefferson should reach the final it w ould
be the first tim e since 1959 — an era that in­
cluded players such as Mel Renfro and Terry
Baker.

The 113th Civil War ri­
valry gam e between 10th-
ranked O regon and 16th-
ranked Oregon State this
T h u rsd ay night w ill d e­
cide the P ac-10's represen­
tative in the Rose Bowl.
A nd the state o f O regon
has never seen anything
quite like it.
Tickets for the game reached $500 apiece on Craigslist.org this week.
O ne pair, offered for $1,000, included an unpaid reservation for the
night at a nearby hotel, an additional $ 159 cost.
The frenzy over tickets prom pted O regon A ttorney G eneral John
K roger to issue a w arning over counterfeit tickets.
"Con artists and scam m ers routinely try to capitalize o ff o f highly antici­
pated events to pad their own
wallets," Kroger's office said in
an advisory that offered tips
for spotting scam s.
A utzen Stadium seats more
than 54,000. O regon officials
also sell som e 5,000 standing-
room only tickets. All were long
ago sold out.
Oregon (9-2,7-1) hasn't been
to the R ose B ow l sin ce the
1994 season, and O regon State
(8 -3 ,6 -2 ) hasn't been there since the 1964 season.
It is the first tim e in the history o f the rivalry gam e that both team s are
playing for a trip to Pasadena.
"This m ight be the craziest it has been all year. USC w as pretty crazy,"
O regon safety T.J. Ward said. "But there's nothing like the Civil War."
