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.
@mconforto8 Congratulations to Michael Conforto for his high draft pick today! A pick this high should net him about $3 million if he gives up his senior season at OSU.
I took today’s photo last season. Conforto had just broken a 0-0 tie against the Ducks with a home run. He had 31 such dingers during his three years with the Beavers. More impressive perhaps was his consistently high batting average and on base percentage. In over 175 games he maintained a .341 batting average and .463 on base percentage.
@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.
@eric9carlson As I mentioned yesterday, Ashland advanced to the Quarterfinals with a win over Dallas.
The #1 seed, Bend, was upset by the #16 seed, and this is a single elimination tournament. Therefore, if Ashland can beat Sherwood (in Ashland) on Friday, they will host the Semifinal round as well. In addition, the #3 seed, Springfield, was upset so now Ashland has the second highest seed of the remaining teams.
Friday night is graduation in Lithia Park so Friday’s game will be an early, 2 p.m. start at North Mountain Park.
@ahs_baseball @steenF_12 Steen, a junior, pitched 4.1 innings allowing just one earned run while striking out 7. Tommy Hulick pitched the final 2.2 innings in scoreless fashion. Ashland will host Sherwood on Friday afternoon.
@AJ_Peterson1 Regionals begin this weekend with the Beavers staying home to host UNLV, UC Irvine, and North Dakota State.
Today’s photo is from the 2013 season. Andy Peterson has since changed numbers to #1. He leads the Beavers in stolen bases this season with 9. He is also tied for second on the team with 41 runs scored.
Ashland High School baseball avoided the play-in round of games by finishing 4th in the state rankings. That means they will likely have two home games. The first is May 28. If they win that game they will get another game in Ashland on May 30. The bad news is that due to the late season defeats they will probably have to travel to the #1 seed (unless Bend is upset before then) for the semifinal round. Had they ended the regular season ranked higher they could have earned an additional home game. Go Grizz!
