After the undefeated start, the Hawks took another step toward achieving their goals by going 3-2 in the conference and qualifying for a class 3A state playoff berth for the first time since 1982. Their two conference losses came at the hands of the eventual class 3A state champion and to a class 4A playoff qualifier. In the Hawks first-round playoff game, they fell to Addison Driscoll 35-21, a school with a traditionally strong football program. Although it was a competitive game, Oregon came up short. But they were a step closer to the desired success. <br>In 2000, Bothe s team was determined to start the new millennium with a bang. The Hawks returned only 6 starters, but lifting and Iron Hawk turnouts were the highest since Bothe arrived, evidence of the underclassmen evolving into better athletes. Not only did Oregon match their opponents physically now, but they were often dominating. Outscoring their opponents 75-7 in their first two games, the Oregon Hawks headed into a third-week showdown with an outstanding Stillman Valley team. The young Hawks were affected by the big-game atmosphere and suffered a loss to the eventual Class 2A repeat state champs. Even though this was a major letdown, Oregon learned they had plenty of work ahead of them and turned up the intensity a notch. Along with extremely competitive practices, the Hawks used the BFS in-season program in the weight room to grow stronger and avoid injuries. They dominated their conference schedule, including wins over two ranked opponents, and finished the regular season with and 8-1 record and number six ranking. Oregon had developed into an excellent team through hustle in practice and focus off the field.<br>With the start of the class 3A playoffs, the Hawks continued to better themselves with each game. They physically dominated larger opponents for the next four weeks in route to the state championship game. Unlike Oregon football of the past, the Hawks were finishing off exceptional opponents instead of just being happy with being competitive. Every player on the team, from starters to back-ups, would do anything possible to win.<br>Unfortunately, in the state championship, the Hawks ran into a physically superior team that had an equally competitive work ethic and team attitude.<br>Oregon lost to number one ranked Harrisburg, but by no means did that take away from the Hawks run during the 2000 season. By implementing the BFS program and a great work ethic, John Bothe and his staff turned the Oregon football program from an easy win for opponents into a successful program in just two years. His players embraced the system and thrived under it. The work ethic was also evident in the players off the field, with no Hawk being academically ineligible during the 2000 season. Oregon s football team also gave the community something to rally behind and be proud of, as evidenced by the numerous signs around town and record breaking turnouts for the games. The athletic director from Seneca, a playoff opponent, noted how the Hawks fans had turned his stadium into an Oregon home game and claimed Oregon s football program t
