Emmitt Fee signs his letter of commitment to Western Oregon University.
Emmitt Fee – Western Oregon University – Football

Standing at 6’5’’ and weighing in at 225lbs, Fee is easily one of the biggest and strongest players at the 5A level, and Western Oregon understands that. Fee’s first real time to shine came during his junior year on defense where he put up 44 tackles, 3 of which being for a loss. Going into his senior year, Fee was determined to step up his play and did so on the offensive side of the ball. After little production at tight end his junior year, Fee’s potential soared through the roof after he racked in 447 yards on 33 receptions with 7 touchdowns. A major chunk of that yardage came in Week 5 against Central. Fee recorded a total of 106 yards on 8 receptions with his biggest being a 32-yard reception tacked on at the end. With still a lot of growth left for Fee, he believes Western Oregon is the perfect landing spot for him to hone it all in. “I saw Western as somewhere I could grow, not only on the field but off the field.”

Drew Hall talks about his commitment to Concordia University Irvine

Through thick and thin, Hall has been a part of the Wilsonville program since the very beginning. These days, he’s one of the major components of the Wilsonville outfield and a future piece at Concordia Irvine. One of the top players in his sophomore class, Hall saw playing time early, posting a .273 average on 55 at-bats as well as earning a 2nd team all-league nod to finish out the season. After a hot start to his varsity career, Hall kicked it into overdrive for his junior campaign. Ending the season, Hall saw massive improvements to almost all major hitting categories, boosting his average to .329 on 79 at-bats to the tune of a .433 on-base percentage. Looking more closely at his commitment, Hall dedicated the main reason to sunny California and the campus environment. “I really like the area; I like the warm weather, and the beaches are close.”

Wade Hagey talks about his choice on why Lane Community College is the place for him.

Many around Hagey, including Coach Card, describe him with “a competitive spirit,” and after watching the tape, it’s clear he’s here to bring wins for the Lane Titans. Starting his freshman year on JV, Hagey was quickly able to make a name for himself within the program and get the call up to varsity come playoff time. Entering his sophomore year, Hagey was a bright spot on a rotation that featured two future collegiate pitchers Luke Heaner and Justin Schramm. Carrying a 1.944 ERA throughout the season, Hagey also found himself with the second-most strikeouts on the team with 46, 13 of them looking. With the momentum from his sophomore season in full effect, Hagey took it a step further becoming the second pitcher in the still star-studded rotation. This time, however, Hagey would pump his strikeout count up to 54 as well as shutting down any kind of contact with a .235 opponent batting average. As Hagey looks forward one word seems to repeat itself when talking about his success, and that’s opportunity. Ever since his first steps on campus, all Hagey has needed to succeed is an opportunity, and that’s a big reason for his commitment to Lane Community College. “For me, it’s the opportunity Lane will give me,” stated Hagey.

Connor Johnston articulates his love for the coaching staff at Bellarmine University
Connor Johnston – Bellarmine University – Baseball

Hailing from the prestigious baseball program at West Linn, Johnston was an incoming transfer for the 2024 season after spending his first two years with the West Linn Lions. In just his first season with Wilsonville Johnston made a case as one of the best outfielders in 5A, recording a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage throughout the year. On the offensive side of things, Johnston finished with a respectable .282 average on 78 at-bats. With an elite ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field mixed with the range and athleticism of a collegiate outfielder, it’s easy to see why Bellarmine jumped to offer him. With a prestigious coaching staff that knows a ballplayer when they see one, it’s not hard to see why Johnston wants to make the move all the way out to Kentucky, but how much can a coaching staff really influence? “I love the whole staff, Coach Reel and Coach Nanny, great dudes, and it was great to go visit their part of the country,” exclaimed Johnston.

Jadyn Kipe touches pen to paper making it official on her commitment to Oregon State University.
Jadyn Kipe – Oregon State University – Cross Country and Track & Field

With ten thousand miles of training under her belt at Wilsonville, it’s easy to see why Beaver Nation is including Kipe on their future cross country and track & field roster. After shifting her focus from basketball to cross country at the end of her junior year, the sky was the limit for this young runner. Kipe trained rigorously the summer going into her senior year as she credits this to her successes this season. “I took that entire summer just to train, every single day, no matter what, and through that I’ve set accomplishments that have led me here.” Kipe’s diligent nature has guided her to seven all-state appearances and an abundance of all-district events. Kipe finished her senior year with a personal record in each of the three events she sponsored, including a 10:57.0 in the 3000 meters a 10:56.6 in the 3200 meter, and an 18:04.2 in the 5000 meter. To go along with this absurd stat, Kipe was able to cut two of those times down a whole minute from her junior year. After an electric senior crusade, it’s safe to say that Oregon State has a gem on their hands.
