Oregon High School Racquetball League
The Oregon High School Racquetball League (OHSRL) celebrated its 10th Year during the 2004-2005 Season. The league started with three schools and 30 players, and now has more than 350 participants from 24 schools. The season comprises four league matches, followed by the State Championships and the National Championships.
Oregon and St. Louis, Missouri are considered to have the nation’s strongest high school racquetball programs, and the National Championships alternate between the two locations every year. In 2006, the event was held in Salem.
In 2006, Beaverton won the National Team Championship in the boys, girls, and overall divisions. The top three high school teams in the nation in 2005 were from Oregon. Catlin Gabel won its second consecutive National Team Championship, with Beaverton finishing second followed by Sprague. Beaverton has won five National Team Championships (1996, 1997, 1999, 2006, & 2007) in its existence; Sprague won the title in 1998 and North Salem in 2000.

And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)

—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
