Athletes representing Burns were returning players Jack Wright (7th), Joe Weil (7th), Easton Kemper (8th), and Hunter Kemper (10th). Joining the games this year was 10th grader Trey Cooley and 8th grader Jaxon Hoyt. Although none of the teams came away with a win this year, they met kids and coaches from around the state and got to attend a three-day camp prior to the games that was filled with activities and motivational speakers. Juniors Trey Cooley and Hunter Kemper Hoyt also caught a pass for the only touchdown for Team Oregon on the 8th grade team. The other players had several tackles and quarterback sacks. This is the fourth year that the Oregon All State Games have been held. Money raised from the game goes directly to foster care kids in need. Last year, the All State Game brought in more than $5,000 in gift cards. Additional information can be found online at oregonallstategame.com.
