I'm not much of an athletics fanatic, but when the Newport High team won the 4A Oregon Baseball Championship on Saturday I got pretty excited. Three of my Indian students, two freshmen and a sophomore, are on the team! This is the first state team sports championship in a long while (no offense, cheerleaders, who won 2005 & 2006). Meanwhile, Kate Bigelow won state in Golf, and another of my Indian students, Austin Ouderkirk, got 2nd in state in pole vault. Go Cubs!
