SOU Women’s Basketball
Bree Park

After a tough loss to Oregon Tech last weekend, the SOU Women’s Basketball Team looks to right the ship against two challenging opponents. Currently, the Raiders are in the middle of the conference pack. College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon are both higher in the standings. A couple of wins this weekend and they can emerge in second place. Games start at 5:30 on Friday and Saturday in Ashland.

Myla Norvell serves for the Siskiyou Volleyball Club in the Ashland Middle School Large Gym

The Siskiyou Volleyball Club 16/17&Under Team coached by Alan Young won the 11-team Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Tournament held at Ashland Middle School yesterday despite losing more games than they won on the day. In the most unlikeliest of methods, they lost nearly all of their pool play games in the morning. In the afternoon they won two of three from their first two opponents (one who was undefeated to that point, Impact Volleyball Club from Medford I think). They then won two straight from Eclipse Volleyball Club in the Championship Game, another team who hadn’t lost and who had beaten Siskiyou two straight earlier in the day.

I think their overall record on the day was 7-8 in individual games, but they won the afternoon matches that counted the most.
