HULK COULD REPLACE RONALDO
Former Brazil manager Dunga has said that Hulk can replace Ronaldo. "Ronaldo was a player like no other, but his place in the national squad is still there," he told Record. "Therefore, Hulk can become his successor. He is not alone in that race; there are several players who can get there.
"But he has the necessary quality to impose himself in that fight," continued Dunga, who left Brazil last year after guiding them to the World Cup quarter-finals, and also gave Hulk his first cap.
BERNARD LEAVES CORVALLIS
Former Oregon State running back Yvenson Bernard has left Corvallis to sign with the Alouettes.
Bernard spent the past two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
"It was a good signing and a smart signing," said one league executive, according to a report by the Montreal Gazette. "He's a good player — tough, fast and durable."
The contract is for one year and an option. Bernard will receive an estimated base salary of $70,000.
CORVALLIS TO SIGN NEW PLAYERS
Corvallis will be seeing the action of new players after the head coach announced the decision to do so. The signees include goalkeeper Matt Bersano (Tempe, Ariz.), goalkeeper Andrew Glaeser (Walla Walla, Wash.), forward Glenn Paden (Lake Forest Park, Wash.), forward/midfielder Mike Reckmeyer (Lincoln, Neb.), forward/midfielder Will Seymore (Soham, England) and forward Khiry Shelton (Leander, Texas), who was selected to the US U-18 Men's National Soccer Team for training camp in Phoenix, Ariz., on Feb. 12-20.
CORVALLIS LOSE OUT IN OVERTIME
Woodburn celebrated its 5A state championship nearby.
The 2-1 overtime loss was a tough one to swallow for the Spartans.
That doesn't mean finishing second was taken as a failure by Callahan or his players.
"I'm not disappointed. I'm very, very proud of this group," Callahan said. "They put a lot together, put a lot on the line and they came through when they had to. They put themselves in a position to win the championship game. So you can't ask for anything more."
It was a game of missed opportunities for CHS.
INTO THE FINAL
Nick Creswick and Jamal Abdoul turned to each other while in line waiting to shake hands with the Crescent Valley High players and shot their index fingers in the air.
One more game.
The Corvallis High boys soccer team is headed to the 5A state championship game after a 3-0 win over the Raiders in a semifinal game on Tuesday evening at Spartan Stadium.
"It means so much," said Abdoul, a senior forward. "Redemption and all. It's a pretty amazing feeling."
Corvallis will take on Woodburn for the championship on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Hillsboro Stadium.
CORVALLIS ENJOYING THEIR FOOTBALL
The second half of Tuesday's 5A boys soccer semifinal between Corvallis High and Crescent Valley was well underway.
CHS coach John Callahan stood on the sideline, sipping on a warm beverage while calmly watching the Spartans make a bid for their second straight state title appearance.
Callahan finished his drink, tossed the styrofoam cup and spoke:
"Anybody else want some hot chocolate?"
CALLAHAN: WE'RE STARTING TO PEAK
Corvallis High scored early and controlled the 5A boys soccer quarterfinal with Wilsonville to earn a 2-1 victory on Saturday.
The Spartans (12-4-1) will play Crescent Valley on Tuesday at Spartan Stadium. The game time has yet to be set.
"We're starting to peak at the right time," coach John Callahan said. "The guys are starting to jell. It's nice to see us playing just as good a soccer (as last season, when CHS won the state title). It's a different group of guys in terms of play and attitude as last year, but they're very good in their own right."
Corvallis Beat Wildcats
Despite seeing its season come to an end, you could not tell from the looks on the Wilsonville boys soccer team afterward.
The Wildcats knew they accomplished a lot this year as they fell to Corvallis, 2-1, Saturday at Randall Stadium in the OSAA Class 5A state quarterfinals.
It marked the second straight season that Corvallis ended Wilsonville’s season following a 4-0 victory in the second round last year.
