The 140th anniversary of the Oregon School for the Deaf will not include football.

Steve Duin of The Oregonian reports that the school has cancelled its 8-man season due to a lack of players.  The season was cancelled after the team only had seven players, one of which was a girl, according to Duin's story.

West Salem Installs All-Black Turf

Black is the new green at West Salem High School.

National media outlets were all abuzz about the school's new black turf that was just unveiled last week.  It's been dubbed "The Black Hole".

The reason the school installed the black turf, according to published reports, is because it cost $150,000 less than green.  The total cost, which was totally paid for through fundraising, was $300,000.

The black turf wasn't lucky though as South Medford won the first game on black turf 24-9, but maybe no one will notice because the result occurred in The Black Hole.

Bryce Erickson, son of former college and NFL coach Dennis Erickson, has been hired as the new head football coach at South Albany.

This will be the younger Erickson's first head coaching job after serving as the school's weight room instructor and an assistant last season.

Erickson takes over for Tony Matta, who is South Albany's new athletic coordinator.

Last season, South Albany was winless in nine regular season games.

Usually summer high school football all-star games are a little boring because of the lack of offense.

That wasn't the case with the 2011 version of the Les Schwab Bowl.

The North team stormed back from a 24-point deficit to defeat the season 42-38.  Lincoln High quarterback Peter Williams, who will attend college at MIT, led the charge by completing 25 of 36 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns.

The North won the game when Aloha's John Shaffer scored on a six-yard run with just 22 seconds left.
