Oregon High School Baseball Player of the Week

The High School on SI / SBLive Oregon Baseball Player of the Week is a statewide fan vote at si.com covering every OSAA classification, from 6A suburban programs down to 1A rural schools.

Oregon High School Boys Basketball Player of the Week

The High School on SI / SBLive Oregon Boys Basketball Player of the Week fan vote runs every week of the OSAA season, December through March.

Oregon High School Girls Basketball Player of the Week

The High School on SI / SBLive statewide fan vote for the best Oregon girls basketball performance of the week.
