A mere six years ago, pre-Japan or P.J. on the Case-family-Anno-Domini timeline, my kids looked like this at the downtown Ashland Pita Pit.

I spent today watching volleyball at SOU (although today’s photo is from last month). Although most of the teams were Southern Oregon club teams, one was made up of mostly SOU volleyball players and alumni. It was fun watching my little (6’2″) 16-year old (#4 in this photo) go up against players like Sarah Holgen and Paulla Pinheiro.

Next up (March 27-29, 2015) is a tournament in Spokane, Washington during spring break.

mOcean volleyball

Today is the 17U mOcean Volleyball Club’s second tournament in Grants Pass (North Valley High School). At the last tournament, in Santa Clara, there weren’t any familiar foes, but most of today’s games will pit girls against former and future teammates as there is representation from about six or seven different high schools on this mOcean team.

SOU men’s basketball – Jordan West

@SOURaiders

Cue the Ozzy…

Saturday the Raiders will head over to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Tech. The SOU men are ranked #10 and the women are #14. While neither OIT team is in the rankings, they aren’t far out and are never easy to beat on their home court.

Meanwhile, I’ll be heading over a different mountain on Friday, the Siskiyou Pass, as the mOcean volleyball club 17U team gets its first taste of competition in the California Kickoff Tournament in Santa Clara.
