The Oregonian Cup recognizes overall excellence by Oregon high schools in academics, athletics and activities. Schools earn points based on their participation and finish in Oregon School Activities Association state championships and for top-10 finishes in the OSAA academic all-state program. A sportsmanship component, whereby schools are awarded points for having no ejections, is included as well. North Medford scored high academically with its girls golf, tennis and softball teams. Each squad finished among the top three in the state in terms of grade-point average.

Out of the 17 sports that the Black Tornado competed in, 15 tasted state playoff competition on either an individual or team basis.
