between athletics and academics.
In athletics, the volleyball state
title combined with the second
place finish in girls' basketball
and girls' track and field, plus a
third place finish in boys' track
and field.
Just as important though were
the achievements of the boys'
basketball and girls' tennis teams
in the academic all-state program
with the 3.85 and 3.91 grade
point averages, respectively.
These teams had the highest
GPA of any school in the state
for those activities.
"Each year at OSAA-U.S. Bank
State Championships, we hand
out more than 375 trophies and
over 4000 medals. Whereas
(these) awards honor outstanding
teams or individuals, the OSAA
Cup honors your entire school,"
said
Weber,
during
his
presentation. "The OSAA Cup
honors your teachers for their
guidance in the classroom. The
OSAA Cup honors your coaches
and directors for their leadership
in competition. Finally, and most
importantly, the OSAA Cup
honors you, the students, for your
hard work and dedication to
academics,
activities
and
athletics-."
In accepting the award, Cory
Bennetto thanked the OSAA,
U.S. Bank, United Rentals and
the Dairy Fanners of Oregon,
sponsors of the award. He went

parents and community members
who have supported the students
and encouraged them to stnve for
