This Friday (2 and 4) and Saturday (11 and 1) will be your last chance to see the Raiders in Ashland. It won’t be the end of their season, however. They will likely end up as the #2 seed in the conference tournament, and should this weekend and the tournament go well, the 35-10 Raiders have an excellent chance to play in the NAIA World Series thereafter.
Ahmon Afenegus had two assists in just the first five minutes

Southern Oregon won their first-ever Division II Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League (PNCLL) title today with a win against Gonzaga at Boise State. With the win, the 13-2 Raiders earned an automatic qualifying bid to the 2016 MCLA National Championships in a couple weeks in Orange County, California.
The PNCLL has 12 teams including Portland State University and Western Oregon University. Half of the teams are from Washington.

Crater High School comes into today’s game at 5 p.m. at North Mountain Park with an eight-game winning streak. Ashland has only six conference games remaining (while Crater has nine). Three of those are head-to-head games between the Comets and Grizzlies. In the Midwestern League Ashland is three back of Crater in the loss column and two back of Marist. Ideally, they need a sweep of Crater, Crater to beat Marist a couple times, and Eagle Point to upset Marist once as well in order to win the league. The top six teams in the conference make the playoffs, and the top four get home games. The top two in the league get first round byes and likely home games deeper into the playoffs though.

Normally there are more judges than spectators when it comes to shot put. Not so yesterday at the Raider Invitational. Tylor King is also on the football team, and a large contingent of football players and other SOU athletes came out to support him. Having dozens cheer him on, Tylor nearly hit 55 feet. Even the shortest of his six throws traveled much farther than any of his competitors. He has a good chance to place at Nationals next month in Alabama.

Nick Sanderson was the big contributor on offense and defense in the Grizzlies win over Churchill yesterday. He held the Lancers to just one run through five innings of work on the mound. His triple (and run scored) and RBI double in his first two at bats on the offensive side of things were the difference in the game.
Ashland will face Churchill twice more this weekend in Eugene. Next week AHS is back in town against Crater, who will likely come into that game riding an eight-game winning streak.
