Melvin Mason finding a hole vs. Carroll College

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @Sectionchamp2

I’m off to Helena, Montana today for Saturday’s game. Although it sounds funny to say the opening game is a big one, this one between SOU and Carroll is important. The team that wins will likely be ranked #1 in the country until they lose.

Today’s photo is from last season’s game in Ashland. SOU won that one. In fact, SOU is a perfect 2-0 vs. Carroll when I am present. Hopefully, I can say 3-0 by the end of September 5 and 4-0 after October 17.

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 this blog, 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, 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.

Clayton Nadon takes to the sky in SOU’s 3-1 victory over Menlo at Notre Dame de Namur University

@SOURaiders @clay__10

I had a free day in the San Francisco Bay Area this past Thursday. Initially I thought I’d catch the Cubs-Giants game. However, only horrible seats remained, and the Giants had jacked up the prices to ridiculous levels.

As it so happened, the brand new Southern Oregon Men’s Soccer team were playing their second ever game in the area so I went to it instead. Turns out that was a great decision as SOU won, and the Cubs lost (I hate the Giants), so I got to drive home happy and with an extra $150 or so in my pocket.

The Raiders have four more games on the road before playing their first game in Ashland on September 18. It’s too early to get too excited, but their currently 2-0 team of mostly freshmen and no seniors may surprise some people.
