CENTRAL POINT, Ore. For a high school basketball player ranked ninth on ESPN s 2021 rankings, a selection to the McDonald s All-American game is almost expected. But for a southern Oregon-native, it s unprecedented.
Nathan Bittle, a 6-foot-11 center and University of Oregon commit is the first southern Oregonian to be playing for the prestigious team since South Medford s Kyle Singler in 2007. Bittle played three seasons at Crater High School before transferring to Prolific Prep in California when the Oregon basketball season was canceled (it has since been postponed to start in late spring of 2021).

MEDFORD, Ore. The Medford School Board sent a letter this week to Governor Brown, the Oregon School Activities Association, or OSAA, and the state’s health authority.
The letter explains 46 other U.S. states have already begun their high school sport seasons and hopes the state will lift some of the restrictions on athletics and activities.
Band, cheerleading, football and other activities are all currently prohibited from competition at the high school level.
For now, the current crusade continues as players, parents, coaches and the community email, call and plead until they “let them play.”
“All we do is keep what we’re doing and we keep the faith that hopefully something’s going to change and the decision comes in our favor and everyone one of these student-athletes and extracurricular activities students get back to what they normally would do,” Head Coach for the Crater High School boy’s soccer program, Jason Tester, said.
