Non-stop metal this Tuesday with two separate shows at Club 66. The first, an all-ages show starting a 5 p.m. features the return of Warhead to Southern Oregon. The nightcap previously was going to feature Sumac, but they had to bail so Endon, from Japan, will take over as the second headliner.
Last week I posted a photo from the edge of Lake of the Woods. This was from a walk I took last weekend in snow shoes.
Today’s photo is from the middle of the lake after I ventured out past the shadows. In the shadows there was snow on the ice, and things felt more solid. I probably could have kept going straight across to my car near the lodge in the distance, but as the ice became more transparent I figured my adrenaline levels were high enough so I turned back at this point and walked around instead.
The SOU women’s basketball team’s winning ways, combined with a couple key upsets, could earn them a #1 seed in the national tournament. The Raiders ended the regular season with a 26-1 record.
Saint Xavier, ranked #1 before tonight, dropped their regular season finale to #12 Stritch in OT on the road. They will likely fall to somewhere between #3 and #5 in the rankings.
Marian, ranked #3 before last night, dropped their final two games of the regular season. They lost to a 5-23 team on the road before losing their home finale tonight. They will likely drop out of the top eight with those losses.
#6 SOU will move up at least one spot in the rankings. If they don’t move ahead of Saint Xavier they will need to sweep the conference playoffs at home and hope for another upset of a higher ranked team to crack the top four and receive a #1 seed in the national tournament.
