Fun useless geography fact
Derek Anderson's hometown of Scappoose, Oregon is just down the highway east from Jordan Poyer's hometown of Astoria. In the past these schools have been league rivals. I think Scappoose is now in a smaller or larger conference . I grew up in between both of these communities on the washington side of the columbia river in a logging community called Longview. Scappoose is about a half hour away to the east of us and Astoria about 40 minutes to the west. My high school competed against both Astoria and Scappoose in sports every year. I still remember watching Poyer play us in basketball and football in non league games as they were an Oregon school and we were a washington school. He was an incredible athlete. Also remember being a kid and getting to watch Anderson play in college at OSU. Those OSU teams were fun to watch.
