Welcome to installment #26 in “The Whole Picture” in which I present the uncropped, higher resolution version of a photo that SOURaiders.com has 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 cell phone.

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 blog entry to communicate.

To find all of my photos for a particular sport, use the following links. Click on “Older Entries” near the bottom-left of each page to view more photos.
football
basketball
softball
volleyball

Cheridan Hawkins

Cheridan Hawkins’ career at Oregon came to an end yesterday after four stellar seasons. By the end of Saturday it seemed the #5 Ducks would be headed to the World Series again. With #1 Florida being upset and knocked out and the Ducks up 1-0 on UCLA at home in the Super Regionals, the odds of Oregon winning the whole thing looked possible. Then, Sunday, just two outs away from a trip to Oklahoma City, UCLA came back to win the game 2-1, forcing another game which they also took 2-1. The Ducks outscored the Bruins 10-5 in the series, and Oregon won the regular-season Pac-12 title, but neither of those things mattered. UCLA is moving on, and the Ducks are done.

Over four years, Cheridan threw almost 800 innings, struck out over a thousand batters, compiled a 1.66 ERA, a won-loss record of 108-20, and earned 17 saves.

Throwing it back today to the halftime festivities at one of SOU’s football games last season. The Grants Pass Warriors Pop Warner football team was about to take the field at Raider Stadium.

In just over three months, the 2016 season will get underway. You can find the 2016 schedule for the Raiders here.

Darin Kracl of the Medford A’s

@MedfordRogues

The Medford Rogues will be paying tribute to the former Medford A’s on June 4 by wearing throwback uniforms. Fireworks will follow the game.

As a huge A’s fan since birth (the A’s moved to Oakland the year I was born, and I was born just a few miles from the Oakland Coliseum), it was extremely disappointing to me that the A’s no longer had an affiliate in Medford when I moved to Ashland in 2000. Next Saturday night I can pretend I’m watching the Medford A’s.

Darin Kracl was one of my best friends growing up. We cut school once or twice to catch an A’s game. I’m still jealous that he got to pitch for them.
