Picking season is almost here. Today’s photo comes from Valley View Winery in Jacksonville (Ruch actually in the Applegate) almost a couple weeks ago.

Austin Dodge signs with the Calgary Stampeders
Austin Dodge, the 2014 NAIA Football Player of the Year, is now a Stampeder
@calstampeders @SOURaiders @SOU_Football
The deal is for three years beginning in 2016. Calgary was the CFL champion in 2014 (and they currently have the best record in 2015). Looks like they want to continue winning championships.
SOU vs EOU

#5 AHS vs #1 Marist tonight
Ashland High School volleyball celebrates a service ace against Crater
@VolleyballGrizz
The OSAA rankings don’t mean much yet (anything really at this point), but in late October they are very meaningful. Last year several of Ashland’s victories in tournaments weren’t included in the calculation of the OSAA rankings (although all of the losses were). This resulted in Ashland having a lower ranking and travelling over five hours to play on the home court of the eventual state champion instead of having a home game in the playoffs.
Currently, Ashland is ranked #5 in the young season and Marist is ranked #1. The goal for a home playoff game is to be ranked #8 or better come October 24.
Tonight’s game is at Marist Catholic High School in Eugene. The winner will take over first place in the 7-team Midwestern League.

From Friday’s paper:
ASHLAND 3, GRANTS PASS 0: At Grants Pass, senior middle hitter Ellie Case posted 12 kills, four blocks and a pair of aces as Ashland sailed to a nonconference win, 25-12, 25-12, 25-18.
Senior setter Karlie Richardson tallied 25 assists, five kills and three aces for the Grizzlies (5-2) while senior outside hitter Olivia Rooney went for nine kills and five aces.
Myla Norvell, a junior libero, added 18 digs and three aces for the Grizzlies.
Ashland High School, a 5A school, has defeated both of its Southern Oregon 6A opponents so far. Tonight they play at Crater at 6:45.
Another big game this Saturday
SOU football @ Carroll College (9/5/15)
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football
Last weekend’s loss at Carroll hurt, but it will mean little if the Raiders beat Eastern this weekend and Carroll in October in Ashland. It’s better to win your last game than your first.
Take last season for example. Carroll and SOU split the regular season series (and neither team had lost to any other team at the time), but Carroll was ranked four spots ahead of SOU after winning the game over SOU later in the season.
Tickets to this Saturday’s game in Ashland can be purchased here.
Raiders Gameday!
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football
I slapped my Raiders Gameday! magnet on this truck before the Ashland 4th of July Parade a couple months ago and haven’t seen it since. I hope it is put to good use. I could use it today, actually, at the tailgate in Helena. Or maybe a Carroll fan would steal it here in Montana. In any event, you want to watch today’s game. You can watch it for free at noon PT here.
