2020 SEASON SUMMARY
The season
The COVID-19 pandemic moved Oregon's 2020 high school football season to a short spring schedule in 2021, with no state playoffs. Wilsonville played six games between March 5 and April 9 and won all six, going 3-0 against 5A Special District 2 opponents. A March 26 league game at Hillsboro was canceled.
