In addition to all the great points made here, consider that SOU only has 11 sports. (Next year there will be 12 with men’s soccer being added.) Many of the teams in the top ten for the Director’s Cup have 20 or more athletic teams. Their top 12 teams count. All of SOU’s teams count, and a zero is awarded for the missing sport.
What would be interesting is to see a weighted-average Directors Cup where a school’s score is divided by the number of sports they compete in. For instance, SOU scored 696.5 points. Divide that by 11 sports for 63.32 weighted points. The #1 school, Oklahoma Baptist University, scored 854.50 points. Divide that by their 20 athletic teams for 42.73 weighted points. Hmmmm… I wonder if any school with 11 or fewer sports scored anywhere near Southern Oregon’s total?
Gravewitch is playing in Ashland (Club 66) today and Medford (Musichead) tomorrow (6/12/15). Both shows are all ages and start early (5 in Ashland and 6 in Medford).
My final exams have been given, many of the seniors are done, and this Saturday they will be walking at Raider Stadium. Meanwhile, my neighbor’s flamingos have been sporting their graduation attire for more than a week.

Grace Lenthe – 2015 Midwestern League softball player of the year
Both the Ashland High School baseball and softball teams had similar seasons with good starts and poor finishes. The softball team went 10-3 before finishing the season 4-10. They came in 5th place in the 7-team conference. All-conference selections are difficult to come by in a 7-team league, but Grace Lenthe did one better. She won player of the year, an amazing accomplishment for someone on a team looking up at four other teams in the standings. Grace hit over .500 with a slugging percentage over .800 for the year.
