Jesuit wins 3rd straight basketball championship
In a rematch of last year’s boys final, Jesuit took on Westview for the class 6A state basketball championship Saturday night. The boys game, like the girls final just before it, was a battle of the bigs, featuring Jesuit’s 6-10 senior Kyle Wiltjer and Westview’s 6-9 senior Austin Kuemper. A McDonald’s All-American, Wiltjer is one [...]
OSAA Basketball: 6A girls 2011 championship
Portland’s Jesuit High School has a reputation for winning everything. Just last year, the school’s teams won state titles in cross-country, soccer, basketball, swimming, skiing, tennis, and track and field. The ski team’s win at the state races last week was the 100th championship in Jesuit’s 55-year history—and it was an all-boys school until 1993. [...]
OSAA Basketball Playoffs: Jesuit vs. Central Catholic
In last Friday’s class 6A boys semifinal, Jesuit took on their cross-town spiritual rivals, Central Catholic. The fifth-seeded Rams played tough, keeping it close in the first quarter or so.

I’ve been editing like mad ever since, sorting through about 2500 frames shot during the four games I covered. These images come from Jesuit’s 72-61 win over Oregon City in the [...]
OSAA Basketball Playoffs
I shot two high school basketball games at the Rose Garden today: the 6A girls semifinal between Oregon City and Jesuit, and the 6A boys semifinal between Central Catholic and Jesuit. I love shooting hoops at the Rose Garden because the light is so much better than anywhere else in town. Not only is [...]
Girls soccer
Way back on Sept. 11, four of the better girls soccer teams in the Portland area squared off in a mini “jamboree” tournament: a complete round-robin played in three hours. Held at Jesuit High School, the event featured Lincoln (state champions in 2007 and 2008), Central Catholic (runners up in 2007), and St. Mary’s Academy, [...]
You gotta hold your mouth right
As a child, whenever I was struggling to accomplish a difficult task my grandfather would say it was because I wasn’t holding my mouth right. So we would stick out our tongues and twist our lips just so, and suddenly the job was much easier. These athletes at last week’s Jesuit Twilight Relays know what [...]
