Sunset Bay State Park evacuated due to flooding; Shore Acres, Cape Arago inaccessible
Safe winter driving tips in Oregon
Here are some tips to keep you safe on the roads.
A popular campground on Oregon’s south coast was evacuated due to flooding Friday morning while two other popular parks were inaccessible after a landslide undercut a highway near Charleston and Coos Bay.
Sunset Bay State Park’s campground was impacted when Big Creek came over its banks between Thursday and Friday night, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department officials said.
“The campground will likely remain closed through the weekend due to high water and tide conditions,” OPRD spokeswoman Stefanie Knowlton said. She added that the Sunset Bay Day-Use Area remains open at this time “but could close if flooding continues.” The restroom is closed, but there are portable toilets available.
Shore Acres and Cap Arago also closed by landslide
Just up the road from Sunset Bay, a “significant landslide has occurred” on Cape Arago Highway.
“The slide has caused substantial undermining of the roadway, leading to its closure,” OPRD said. “As a result, both Shore Acres State Park and Cape Arago State Park are currently inaccessible to vehicular traffic.”
The trio of parks — Sunset Bay, Shore Acres and Cape Arago — are three of the more popular destinations on the south coast. It’s unclear how long the area would be inaccessible.

Kennedie Shuler’s last-second drive the difference in Oregon State’s win over Loyola Marymount
Oregon State finally played a West Coast Conference women’s basketball game that didn’t end in overtime.
But it took some last second heroics to make it happen Thursday night, as Kennedie Shuler’s three-point play with two seconds remaining gave the Beavers a 59-56 win over Loyola Marymount at Gill Coliseum.
It’s the first time in four games the Beavers (7-8, 3-1 WCC) haven’t played overtime in a conference play. With the game tied at 56-56, Shuler took an inbounds pass near the top of the key, drove to the basket and floated a shot off the backboard as she was fouled.
Oregon State won its third consecutive game as Kelsey Rees scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the way. Sela Heide and Catarina Ferreira scored 10 each. Heide scored all her points during the third quarter.
Four players accounted for all of Loyola’s 56 points. Brandi Williams hit four three-pointers and scored 17 points to lead the Lions (6-6, 0-4).
Loyola controlled the first half in taking a 33-26 halftime lead. The Lions spotted Oregon State an early lead, then took over with a 9-2 run midway through the first quarter. LMU led 17-14 after one, the difference a three-pointer by Williams on the final possession.
After Ally Schimel hit a three to tie the game at 17-17, LMU scored 10 consecutive points in less than two minutes. OSU got as close as 29-26 on a three-point play by Rees, but the Lions scored the final four points of the quarter to take a seven-point halftime lead.
Oregon State’s zone defense made a difference in the third quarter, as the Beavers outscored the Lions 20-10 to take a three-point lead. Loyola missed nine consecutive shots and went scoreless for nearly seven minutes as OSU ran off 10 consecutive points to take the lead.
OSU couldn’t shake Loyola during the fourth quarter. Shuler gave the Beavers a five-point lead with eight minutes left, but the Lions scored the next seven points to overtake the Beavers. Ferreira’s pair of free throws with 1:44 left put OSU in front by three points, but the Lions tied it less than a minute later, on a three-pointer by Naudia Evans.
Oregon State earned a chance to win it after forcing Loyola into a tough shot on its final possession. The Beavers called timeout with 4.4 seconds and set up Shuler for the game winner.
Oregon State’s next game is noon Saturday at Washington State.

Automatic bid teams Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, Arizona State all lose in CFP quarterfinals
ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham says Peach Bowl loss ‘is 100% on me’
Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham assigns the blame to himself after ASU’s loss to Texas in the 2025 Peach Bowl.
Sports Seriously
Automatic bids to the College Football Playoff in 2024 equated to automatic losses.
Following the conclusion of the quarterfinal round of the initial 12-team playoff, all four of the teams that won their conference and earned a first-round bye are now officially out of contention for the national championship. While the automatic bids were out of the CFP committee’s hands, they likely deserve credit for getting it mostly right with the rest of the field.
No. 1 Oregon (Big Ten) was soundly beaten 41-21 by No. 8 Ohio State, while No. 7 Notre Dame beat No. 2 Georgia (SEC) 23-10, No. 6 Penn State beat No. 3 Boise State (Mountain West) 31-14 and No. 5 Texas beat No. 4 Arizona State (Big 12) 39-31 in an overtime thriller.
No. 12 Clemson also earned an automatic bid to the College Football Playoff for winning the ACC, but the Tigers did not get a first-round bye. They lost 38-24 to Texas in the first-round.
The semifinals features two teams that lost in a conference title game: Penn State and Texas. Notre Dame does not play in a conference, and Ohio State did not advance to the Big Ten title game after losing to rival Michigan in the final week of the regular season.
