The final statewide high school boys soccer coaches polls released by OSAAtoday on October 27 paint a clear picture of dominance as teams across Oregon prepare for the postseason.
In the 6A classification, Jesuit claimed the top spot with eight first-place votes and a 12-1-1 record, holding firm at number one over 92 total points. Just behind them in a tight race at the top, Lakeridge and Lincoln locked down the second-line tier. Lakeridge pulled in one first-place vote with a 12-1-1 mark for 76 points, matching Lincoln’s 76-point tally built on a 10-1-3 record. Cleveland sits close behind at fourth with a 10-0-4 record and 74 points, followed by Beaverton at 10-2-2 with 57 points.
Rounding out the top ten in 6A, Grant secured sixth place at 10-3-1 with 53 points, while McMinnville grabbed a single first-place vote to land seventh at 10-1-3 with 45 points. South Eugene holds the eighth spot with a 13-0-1 record and 39 points, followed by McDaniel at 8-3-3 with 16 points, and Ida B. Wells rounding out the field at tenth with a 9-4-1 record and 15 points. No teams dropped out of the 6A rankings in this final poll.
OSAAtoday compiles these coaches polls throughout the autumn to generate interest and discussion across the state. However, these rankings have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings, which form the formal basis for OSAA playoff seedings.
Down in the 5A classification, Summit captured nine first-place votes and the top ranking with a 10-1-1 record and 99 points. Ashland claimed the other first-place vote, sitting second at 12-1 with 79 points, while Bend stands third at 11-2 with 72 points. Corvallis holds fourth at 9-1-3 with 63 points, and Canby sits fifth at 10-3-1 with 55 points. La Salle Prep, Centennial, Hood River Valley, Silverton, and a newly entered Crescent Valley at 6-4-2 complete the 5A top ten, pushing previous number eight West Albany out of the main bracket.
The 4A division sees Stayton leading the pack with ten first-place votes and a 12-1 record for 118 points. Cascade holds the second spot with a single first-place vote at 12-1-1 and 98 points. Valley Catholic, Klamath Union, Henley, The Dalles—who also picked up a first-place vote—Marshfield, North Marion, Tillamook / Neah-Kah-Nie, and Newport fill out the rest of the 4A top ten, replacing previous number ten Ontario.

Lewis Academy each claimed a first-place vote, sitting second and third respectively, as teams across every classification turn their focus toward the championship brackets.
