SOU Men’s Basketball Senior Night with Coach Brian McDermott and David Sturner’s family

Last night was the last regular season home basketball games at SOU. Since both teams won there is a good chance that there will be at least one home game in the Cascade Conference Playoffs. They still have three games to go on the road before we know for sure.

Due to it being the possible final performances in front of the home crowd, it was also senior night. Two women and five men were honored. The men were given poster boards with a bunch of my photos on them. David Sturner was checking out the pics you can see below in the above photo.

David Sturner dunk before sold out crowd

Both the souraiders.com site and CCC site have published a cropped version of this photo. I want you to have the whole picture, complete with the rim, ball, Sturner’s hands, feet, etc.

I have over 800 photos from tonight’s big games. How many do you want to see?

You can view the photo of the crowd’s reaction to this dunk by following my Facebook page.

Today’s pics are for a project I’m doing with a middle school student. The student took the photos, and I’m posting them here merely so that we can look at them next to each other to talk about.

The Raiders were upset twice in the past few weeks to drop from #2 to #6 in the national rankings. Despite those two losses, they are just a game out of first place in the Cascade Conference with 12 games remaining.

From the CCC website:

“Southern Oregon’s David Sturner has been named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the week.

Sturner, a senior from Philomath, Oregon, had his ninth double-double of the season and sixth in seven games against No. 23 Cal Maritime. Sturner, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer and scored consecutive buckets to put SOU up 7 with a minute left, now ranks 6th in the NAIA in RPG (10.6) and 16th in FG% (61.0).”
