Snowy sunset
Sunset looking away from Crater Lake
Thursday I headed to Crater Lake, and surrounding areas, with two goals. I failed to reach either goal.
My first goal was to snowshoe to Muir Creek Falls from the Claude Lewis Trailhead parking lot. Didn’t quite happen. More on that later.
My second goal was to capture a sunset, for the first time, at Crater Lake. Today’s photo is as close as I got. Those clouds on the right covered the lake and turned into thick fog as well just minutes after I took this photo. I had high hopes too, as Crater Lake looked like this less than an hour before sundown.
Southern Oregon University and the NAIA’s Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup
SOU’s 2015 football team and 2015-16 women’s basketball team both came in 2nd place nationwide
@LSDirectorsCup @SOU_Football @raidersayre @SOURaiders
You can read about SOU’s 6th place standing in the Directors’ Cup here. Digging into the data a little deeper reveals that the schools in front of Southern in the rankings all have swim teams (SOU, and most NAIA schools, do not). If you back out the swim points, SOU is actually in first place!
With less than 30 teams competing in swimming at the NAIA level, why does swimming get equal rating with football (87 programs have football)? Or basketball (over 130 programs have basketball in NAIA DII)?
Softball in Ashland today
@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball
Doubleheader today against Northwest with the first game starting at 2.
AHS baseball off to fast start
@ahs_baseball @CoachHall_Griz @Pfuller24
After completion of 3-0 sweep at the Greenway Baseball Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, the Grizzlies record now stands at 5-0 on the young season. The wacky OSAA rankings had them at #5 in the state before today’s win. The RPI rankings (which include strength of schedule) have Ashland High School as the #1 team in the state. Rankings won’t mean anything until another dozen games have been played though.
Ashland plays at winless Springfield before their next home game on April 2.
Softball weekend

Before heading down the hill to work last Monday morning I climbed out a window and up to the top of my roof to capture this image.

The Raiders lost, in the rain, to a very good 7-1 Sierra Nevada College team this afternoon. The next game is also at home, on April 3 against Portland State University.
