I spent yesterday on the sidelines of the Ducks-Utes game in Eugene. The weather wasn’t too bad. In fact, it only rained during the pregame. It was mostly cloudy the rest of the time, but I can’t complain. A day game without rain is more than I expected.
I took nearly 900 photos and have only looked at about 50 at this point. I’ll post some more here soon.
We Love Our Grizzlies
The Ashland Grizzlies Football Team continued their perfect season tonight with a win on the road to advance to the semifinal round of the Oregon State Championship. Next up for the 11-0 Grizzlies is the #1 seed (the only other undefeated 5A school, Sherwood, in the state) on the road.
Oregon vs. Utah
Today’s image came from a download I did more than a week ago when I was thinking I was going to be heading up to Eugene this Saturday to see the Ducks continue their march to an undefeated season and a National Championship. However, Stanford got in the way of that plan last week. The bright side is that Saturday’s game is now going to be a day game (as the Stanford vs. USC game became the night game). I have a photo pass, will be on the sidelines, and won’t have to deal with the slower shutter speeds that would have come with a night game.

The Raider Football Team ends their season on the road this weekend. Today’s photo is from last Saturday’s home finale vs. Eastern Oregon University.

Austin Dodge completes career touchdown pass number 100 to Matt Retzlaff
Saturday’s loss to Eastern was painful, but it did include Austin Dodge’s 100th career touchdown pass pictured above. With a game to go, Dodge has 45 touchdown passes on the season. He’s only a junior.

Opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. tonight (11/8/13) against Pendleton. The Grizzlies have a perfect 9-0 record but were shortchanged in the seeding. Despite finishing #3 in the polls, AHS will go into the 2013 OSAA 5A State Football Championships as the #5 seed. (Ashland beat Springfield in the game featured in today’s photos, and Springfield went in with two losses as the #3 seed.)
The seeding makes a big difference. Assuming the top seeds win, Ashland will have to defeat Pendleton, the #4 seed, and the #1 seed in order to advance to the championship game. The #2 and #3 seeds don’t face anyone higher than the #6 seed before facing each other in the semifinals. Obtaining the #5 seed instead of the #4 or #3 seed also means this is likely the last game at home for the Grizzlies.
