Byline: The Register-Guard

CHURCHILL ADDS TO HALL: Kenny Cox, Kendall Richards, John Flora and John DeMarco will be added to the Churchill Athletic Hall of Fame on Friday when the Lancers host North Eugene in a Midwestern League boys basketball game.

Cox was a state wrestling champion at 106 pounds as a sophomore, 112 as a junior and 119 as a senior. He was chosen as The Register-Guard's male prep athlete of the year as a senior in 1997 when he was ranked No. 1 in the nation at his weight class.

Richards was a first-team all-Midwestern League softball selection in all four years with the Lancers and was the league most valuable player as a senior in 1992. She helped the Lancers win the Class 4A state championship in 1991 and 1992.

Flora, a 1980 graduate, was a three-sport athlete for the Lancers. DeMarco has been a school booster since it opened in 1966.

LES SCHWAB BOWL SET: Nine Midwestern League players were selected to play for the South team in the Les Schwab Bowl, an all-star football game featuring graduating seniors from around the state.

The game, formerly known as the Oregon Bowl, has been scheduled for Saturday, June 22, at 7 p.m. at PGE Park in Portland.

Sheldon, which reached the Class 4A state championship game, will be represented by wide receiver Zach Moran, running back Brent Andrews and lineman Orca Merwin.

Thurston defensive back Steve Farley and lineman Dustin McCluskey are also on the team.

Linemen Jonathan Baggett of Marshfield, Chris Ware of South Eugene and Matt Lake of Willamette will play along with Churchill defensive back Joel Worcester.

KOLB JOINS SPU: Jean Kolb, a senior at South Eugene, signed a letter of intent to play women's soccer at Seattle Pacific University.

Kolb was a second-team all-Midwestern League selection in each of the past two seasons for the Axemen. In addition, Kolb is a standout in track who finished first in the 200 meters and second in the 100 at last year's district meet.

Kolb will join Sheldon graduate Jennifer Hull on the Falcons' roster. Hull was the starting goalkeeper for Seattle Pacific in 2001, when the Falcons finished 8-10-1.

ALEX OWRE, a senior at Cottage Grove, placed second at the Class 3A state swim meet in the 100 freestyle with a personal-best time of 49.64 Saturday.

KATIE CHAPMAN, a junior swimmer at Newport High School, won the 100 butterfly at the Class 3A state championships with a state-record time of 58.99 on Saturday at the Mount Hood Aquatic Center in Gresham. Chapman, who also won the 100 backstroke with a 1:01.64 clocking, now has five state titles to her credit.
