2014 AHS volleyball team celebrates the block

Last night, the Grizzlies played two league games in Eagle Point. However, Eagle Point was not their opponent. They lost to Marist and beat North Eugene. This adds additional intrigue to Tuesday’s match against Crater as an Ashland victory will leave the conference with a three-way tie for first place. Crater has beaten Marist twice, Marist has beaten Ashland twice, and Ashland has beaten Crater. Unfortunately for Ashland, the Crater game is on the road, and Ashland didn’t get a home game all season against Marist.

The following week begins the state tournament. The good news for Ashland is even if they lose to Crater, they will still have at least one home playoff game.

SOU volleyball team

@SOURaiders @SOUAshland @RaiderVB

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

…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.

Ellie & Ryan on Hobart Peak looking north toward Emigrant Lake and Ashland

After living in Ashland for nearly 14 years, I thought I had been on every nearby hike. Turns out I was wrong. Hobart Peak (AKA Hobart Bluff) is more of a walk than a hike as it isn’t long (about 3 miles round trip) and only has a bit of elevation gain near the end. The sky was completely blue on the day we went. I want to go again for a sunrise or sunset or between storms.

If you are in Ashland and want to check it out, get on Highway 66 toward the Green Springs. After a little less than 15 miles from Oak Tree Northwest Bar & Grill, turn right onto Soda Mountain Road. In about 3.5 miles park at the trail marker near a meadow. You’ll be on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) initially. A sign a mile in will direct you to the left to get to the location in today’s photo.

This past Sunday saw another tournament championship for the Siskiyou Volleyball Club 16U (Alan) Team. That’s the third or fourth championship for the team for the short club season. Alan’s team went 12-1 in individual games on the day in the 23-team tournament, and they had to make it past an 18U team in the final match to secure the victory.
