This past Saturday night the Lady Raiders more than doubled the score of their opponents in their 102-43 victory over the Northwest Indian College Eagles. This little lady didn’t seem to mind that her mom’s team wasn’t winning. She just enjoyed her seat on the bench. Amazingly, she was quite well behaved and only ran on the court during timeouts.

SOU Men’s Basketball
Jordan West had 9 points for the Raiders against Simpson tonight
The Southern Oregon University Men’s Basketball Team beat Simpson (again) tonight to wrap up their pre-conference schedule with a 9-1 record. They may face their toughest home competition until the NAIA Tournament in March of 2014 this coming weekend as Warner Pacific was the coaches’ pick to come in second behind the Raiders. The Raiders will play Warner Pacific on Saturday night (and Concordia on Friday night). Both games will be in Ashland and begin at 7:30 following the women.

Today’s Skelator pics will be the last, for now anyway. If they come back to Southern Oregon someday I’ll throw some more pictures of them up on the blog beforehand to promote the gig.

I mentioned a couple months ago about how my photos on souraiders.com sometimes get cropped (leaving out balls, hands, feet, etc. that were in the original). Today’s pics are some more that fit that category.

Ashland, Oregon
December is upon us so these colors no longer exist, but in early November this is what things looked like from my window.
