Steve Coury

Steve Coury (born 1957) is a former American football wide receiver for the Oregon State Beavers and a current high school football coach and business executive.

Playing career
The son of college and professional football coach Dick Coury, Steve Coury attended Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon where he played wide receiver, before moving on to Oregon State in 1976. Despite the team's overall poor performance during the years he played (the team won just 8 games in his four seasons), Coury was named an All-American in 1979.

When he left Oregon State, he held the records for career receiving yards (1,837) and career receptions (135), and remains in the team's top ten for both statistics. He is tied with Reggie Bynum for the school record for most touchdowns in a half with 3. He was inducted into the Oregon State University Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.

Following his college career, Coury played one season with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.

Coaching career
Following his playing days, Coury began coaching football. He coached high school football at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, California, coached wide receivers for the Portland Breakers of the USFL from 1983 to 1985 (where his father was head coach), and was an assistant football coach at the University of Pittsburgh for three years. In 1992, he was named head football coach at Lake Oswego High School. Since 2001, he has led the school to eleven straight Oregon state quarterfinals, including eight semifinals and finals in 2002, 2004, 2008, and 2011. In 2011, he coached the team to their first-ever state championship.
