SOU cross country @ volleyball
@SOURaiders
The Southern Oregon University men’s cross country team is ranked #2 in the nation. Unfortunately, they don’t have any races in Southern Oregon so I have no photos of them except for the times when they attend other athletic events on campus, like this volleyball game a couple weeks ago.
AHS soccer – Lilli Patton header
Crater High School is coming down I-5 to Ashland today (9/23/14). They dropped down to 5A this year, same as Ashland High School. I’m not sure why as they have about 50% more students, but, in any event, they have become a formidable opponent in most sports for the Grizzlies.
At 4 p.m. at North Mountain Park they will take on the girls soccer team. Ashland has lost only one game this season.
Then, at 7 p.m., Crater’s 9-1 volleyball team will take on Ashland’s 7-1 team in the AHS gym.
SOU volleyball – Motade Atanda
The Southern Oregon University volleyball team moved up a notch to #15 in the new national rankings released today. Eastern Oregon is #11. College of Idaho is #28. Eastern will be in Ashland next Friday night and College of Idaho will be here the following night (9/27/14).
SOU volleyball – Nikki Keller
@SOURaiders @RaiderVB
SOU senior Nikki Keller received Cascade Conference honorable mention for her volleyball defensive efforts even though the Raiders only had one contest last week. She was in on 9 blocks in the Southern Oregon University victory over OIT.
The Raiders will travel to Portland this week to take on Warner Pacific and Concordia on Friday and Saturday nights.
The Avett Brothers (9/7/14)
Last night was the final performance for the 2014 Britt season and featured Creedence Clearwater Revisited. They put on a fantastic show. But today’s photos are from Sunday’s sold out show. Here is the set list for you Avett Brothers fans:

De’Anthony Thomas – beginning of 86 yard kickoff return – Oregon Ducks football
Of course if you want live football, AHS is the place to be today. However, after today’s SOU game you may want more. Or maybe you are a fan of the NFL and want to watch with a crowd instead of by yourself in your living room.
The #3 Ducks play #7 Michigan State after the Raiders’ game this afternoon. The obvious choices of places to watch the game in Ashland are Red Zone, Louie’s, Northwest Pizza, or Omars. However, if you have been to any or all of these places on game day you know that the crowds can be too big, and the service can become very slow.
A new option is Club 66. Uzi has five or six TVs going now, with up to three different DirecTV stations playing simultaneously, including a 10′ projection screen. He also has 6 beers on tap (and more in cans and bottles). But this next item may be the clincher for some of you. Pitchers of ANY beer (including Ninkasi’s Total Domination IPA and other micro draft beers) are just $10! That’s about the cost of two pints at the other places.
The Sunday breakfast deal is also a bargain.
