Details of yesterday’s game against the College of Idaho Yotes can be found here. Today’s photo sequence shows the section that says “The final score was tacked on when Daniel Breaux’s sack forced a fumble, making way for Daniel Abernethy to scoop it up and cruise in from 43 yards out.”

SOU football @ Ashland High School with Happy Camp Fire smoke drifting in during second half

@SOU_Football @SOURaiders

Today’s photo is from the game two weeks ago with Carroll College. During the third quarter large amounts of smoke from California blew into Ashland, and by the end of the game the blue sky was completely gone.

Today’s game against College of Idaho is again at Ashland High School. The new turf at Raider Stadium is more or less done and will be used, not today but, next Thursday for the first time for soccer. The Southern Oregon University football team will play their next home game there.

Arrive early if you want to sit in the shade. The forecasted temperature at kickoff is 90 degrees, and the forecast for the end of the game is 96 degrees.

AHS volleyball

Details of last night’s victory can be found here.

Their next game in Ashland is Tuesday (9/16/14) @ 6:45 p.m. vs. Henley, although that game won’t be nearly as important as the game a week later at the same time and day of the week in the Ashland High School gym against Crater. Crater High School is in the same league this year, and they are also undefeated.

SOU volleyball team

@SOURaiders @SOUAshland @RaiderVB

The Raiders play their first home game of the season tonight at 7. Problem is…

Ellie with the kill – Ashland High School Volleyball

…so do the Grizzlies and my daughter is on that team. 6:45 is the supposed start time (but they frequently start late if JV plays longer than expected).

The good news is I can make Friday night’s SOU game which also starts at 7.

Keegan Lawrence slides into second

@k_law21 @SOURaiders @SOUAshland @SOU_Football

Freshman Keegan Lawrence won’t start college for more than four weeks, but he already has rushed for two touchdowns, and the Raiders first game is only half over. SOU leads Menlo 34-0.

You can watch him run next Saturday in Ashland.

Ashland High School Girl’s Varsity Volleyball

High school finished things up yesterday which means “optional” volleyball practices begin in full force today for the high school teams for fall (when school starts again).

Keegan Lawrence, formerly of Sherwood High School, will join SOU’s football program this fall

@k_law21 The Ashland High School baseball team was eliminated from the state playoffs this past Friday afternoon by Sherwood High School (once again). Keegan Lawrence led the Bowmen with four hits.

Later this year Keegan will hopefully be leading the Raiders in yards rushing. He was the 2013 Football Player of the Year for the state of Oregon before signing with Southern Oregon University. He averaged over 17 yards per carry. The Raiders will be more than happy with an average of half that.
