Central Catholic High School is a part of the Mt. Hood Conference. The Mt. Hood Conference is a competitive and geographically diverse league, featuring a mix of turf and grass fields that create unique strategic challenges. From the short corners at Gresham and Nelson to the deep outfields at Reynolds and Sandy, each ballpark requires tailored game plans and sharp execution. Teams must be versatile—able to play fast on turf, smart on slower grass surfaces, and opportunistic with backstops that range from tight to expansive. Whether facing power-hitting threats or relying on small-ball tactics, coaches and players must adapt quickly to succeed across this varied landscape.

Strategy: Play Tight, Play Quick
- Small, symmetrical park—defensive alignment must be precise.
- Short CF favors line-drive hitters; OFs must close gaps fast.
- Backstop is tight—runners must be smart, not reckless.
- INF must be alert on bunts and swinging bunts; little margin for error on misplays.
Offensive Game Plan
- Great park for high-contact line drive and pull hitters.
- Use early-inning pressure—short OF fences reward fast starts.
- Push on shallow fly balls with aggressive baserunners.
