It was 2018 and North Bend had won 10 state titles in the last five years. Up to that point in the history of the school, champion- ships had not been easy to come by. North Bend won one single title in the 20th century — wres- tling in 1979. There was a brief run of success from 2005 to 2011 and now titles were no longer an exception but the rule. The school was up to 18 blue OSAA champi- onship trophies in the awards case. But then the news came: North Bend was moving to the 5A clas- sification. The great success that had come with the help of being one of the biggest schools in Class 4A was now going to be tested as North Bend became one of the smallest schools in 5A. “Well, of course everyone in North Bend thought it was the worst thing in the world,” said North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester. The decision from the Ore- gon School Activities Associa- tion came at the start of the 2017 ED GLAZAR, THE WORLD school year and despite appeals The Bulldogs gather before a series of hurry up plays during practice on Aug. 29 at North Bend High School.
