AHS football breaks in new field tonight
Ashland High School football
@CoachHall_Griz
Tonight will be Ashland High School’s first football game on the new artificial turf at Walter A Phillips Field. I hear the lighting is much improved as well. Game time is 7:15. The K in the middle of the grizzly paw in the middle of the field is in remembrance of Coach Kitchell, or Coach K, who died back in 2007.
If you already have evening plans, but still want to check out the new field, you can watch the AHS boy’s soccer team take on Mountain View @ 4 p.m.

Welcome to installment #27 in “The Whole Picture” in which I present the uncropped, higher resolution version of photos that SOURaiders.com have published. For prior editions click here. For higher resolution click on the photo before saving. As always, photos are best viewed on a big screen rather than a tiny phone screen.
Some of you may have found your way here through the link on souraiders.com. I have had several people email me asking questions about buying prints or about finding all of my photos for a certain sport.
The photos I post here are a small fraction of the photos I actually have. If you would like to print any of the photos on Ashland Daily Photo, you are welcome to do so at no charge. Be sure to click on the photo to get to the higher resolution size which will print with more quality. If you want to use them on the web (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), you are welcome to do so if you link back to traveljapanblog.com/ashland in the description of the photo. If you are using the photo in a newspaper or magazine, please credit “Al Case, Ashland Daily Photo”.
If you would like me to search through all of my photos and send you photos of the particular athlete you are looking for I charge a reasonable fee for the time it takes me to find all of those photos and to process them for you. I do not normally sell prints. I email you the high quality electronic files in .jpg format, and you can do the printing and framing yourself through a local or online service. My email is on this page or you can comment (leave a reply) to a recent blog entry to communicate.

This is the closest photo I have to a Gene Wilder tribute. This is from the Primus gig last September. An amazing evening…
Les Claypool said about the 1971 film: “Prior to [Jaws] it was everything Wonka [for me].” I, too, must admit to being quite mesmerized by Gene Wilder’s performance as a kid.

A year ago, this happened.
Pat Benatar is playing Britt tomorrow night (8/30/16). A few lawn tickets remain unsold, but this show could sell out. The last time I saw Pat Benatar live was 1997 @ Konocti Harbor with Styx. I’m looking forward to seeing her again after nearly 20 years.
Hamlet @ OSF

You are down to just a dozen or so chances to catch Hamlet at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival this year.
First off, I must admit that I’m not a fan of play going myself. I’ve been to 20 or so plays over the 16 years I’ve lived in Ashland. I typically go only because my arm has been twisted and the tickets are free. That’s not to say the quality of OSF isn’t excellent. It is. I’m just too ADD for sitting through long-winded plays that I usually don’t understand. I normally enjoy the first few minutes, taking in the set and hard work that went into the creation of such works, and then wish I were anywhere else doing anything else for most of the duration.
Such was not the case with Hamlet, which I saw this past Thursday evening and thoroughly enjoyed. A few things made Hamlet an exception to my general play-going experience. First, six or so guitars were the only thing visible on the stage before the show began. I think I have seen some of those guitars before. Second, Hamlet is more interesting to me than most of Shakespeare. (If you aren’t familiar with Hamlet, be sure become acquainted with it BEFORE seeing the live performance.) Third, Comins was excellent as Hamlet. Finally, Scott Kelly.
My only complaint is I wish there was a bit more of Scott Kelly in the performance. Sure he was visible 95% of the time, but I wish he was doing his thing most of the time. During the standing ovation, I thought it was pretty cool that Neurosis’s “Zero” was playing. Was I the only one there that realized this fact? Probably.
A few tickets remain to the final performances, including some for as little as $30.
P.S. To the powers that be at OSF,
I would love to shoot one of these final performances. I can do it without flash like a fly on the wall. No one in the audience will even know I am there. I think I can come up with some amazing photos (especially without a moon like this past Thursday night). Imagine something like this or this with a sky full of stars like this. Hit me up.
Massey goes 3-0 in important first week NAIA matchups
Preseason NAIA #2 2016 SOU Raiders football team
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football #NAIAFootball @racetodaytona
The Raiders didn’t play today, although the NAIA opened the season a week before the NCAA. There were a few key games in the NAIA today though. #6 Grand View (Iowa) got crushed by #5 Baker (Kansas) 36-13. The NAIA coaches had them about even. Massey Ratings (which I’ve talked about many times before) had Baker winning. Baker doesn’t play any decent opponents for the rest of the season. Expect them to go undefeated in the regular season and then get beat in the playoffs (like SOU did last year) when they finally face a good team. Massey has Baker at #14, but the coaches will soon have them in the top three with home games throughout the postseason thanks to their weak schedule.
In the only Frontier Conference contest, Rocky Mountain beat Montana State-Northern 31-21. Either Montana State-Northern has gotten better (let’s hope–they were awful last year) or Rocky Mountain isn’t going to win many games in the Frontier Conference. Time will tell.
#1 Marian had their way with #10 Saint Xavier 56-10. Massey predicted a similar score. Finally, #25 Montana Western defeated #21 Dickinson State 29-13. Based on the coaches’ rankings, Dickinson State was supposed to win. Once again, Massey predicted better than the coaches. Massey predicted a 34-13 score in favor of Montana Western. Pretty damn close to the actual. Massey has Montana Western at #6 in the country. SOU will face Montana Western in September in Ashland and in late October in Montana.
