SOU’s Churchill Hall in autumn
@SOUAshland
Friday was the last day of this year to catch this scene. The leaves were falling fast and furiously (as you can see if you look really closely at today’s photo; those are leaves in the air, not birds), and the weekend was a windy one.

2014 SOU football team and Grizzly Peak
@SOU_Football @SOURaiders
#9 MidAmerica Nazarene University from Kansas will be traveling to Southern Oregon next weekend (11/22/14) for the first round of the NAIA football playoffs. A quick look at their schedule shows they have only played one decent team en route to their 9-1 record. They beat Missouri Valley at home by 3 points. They lost to a sub-.500 team (Central Methodist) on the road last month.
The Raiders will need to rebound from this past weekend, but they should be heavy favorites going into this important game.

SOU volleyball – Sam Boehnke
The opponent is not yet known, but the Raiders will likely be home Saturday night (11/22/14) to try to win their way to Sioux City, Iowa for the NAIA volleyball championships. Like the football team, the ladies are hoping to reverse their results from the prior weekend. Hopefully both teams will be smiling by the end of Saturday.

Although the results of yesterday’s game didn’t go according to plan, the Raiders did end up (barely) in the top eight in the final rankings which should give them a home game in the first round of the NAIA playoffs.
