Nearly a month ago the Southern Oregon University basketball teams played in Ashland. Today they return to action in Cascade Collegiate Conference games against Northwest Christian University at the Bob Riehm Arena. The women play at 5:30, and the men follow at 7:30 p.m.
The men’s game will be on TV (KDRV Newswatch 12). The winner will be in first place in the Cascade Conference.
Tonight (or this afternoon depending on where you live) the Ducks and Longhorns will be locking horns (or webbed feet or something) in a consolation prize for Oregon. It’s not what the Ducks were hoping for, but the season won’t be a complete loss with a bowl victory.
I’m not committed on an NCAA Division I college team to root for at this point, but Ryan has been accepted to the University of Oregon so I may end up becoming a Duck fan beginning next school year.
Congratulations to several members of the Ashland High School Football Team for making the 2013 Class 5A All-State Team. Max Montgomery, Walker Shibley, and Danial White made the first team, and many others made the second team and honorable mention.

From the CCC website:
“Southern Oregon’s David Sturner has been named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the week.
Sturner, a senior from Philomath, Oregon, had his ninth double-double of the season and sixth in seven games against No. 23 Cal Maritime. Sturner, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer and scored consecutive buckets to put SOU up 7 with a minute left, now ranks 6th in the NAIA in RPG (10.6) and 16th in FG% (61.0).”

The #3 ranked Raiders defeated the #13 ranked Cavaliers of Concordia University (Portland) to quickly move to the top of the Cascade Conference standings. The Southern Oregon University Men and Women’s Teams will play again tomorrow night in Ashland (5:30 and 7:30 start times). Hopefully the roads will be a bit safer to drive on by then.
Southern Oregon University Raiders 117 – Concordia Cavaliers 94
Autumn Durand was the top scorer with 25 points.
The reason I’m getting this out there so quickly tonight is I’m not at the game. I thought I was going when the party I was going to got cancelled due to the snow, but then I went outside and realized that my car would never make it through the eight inches of snow in the driveway, let alone down the hill.
You can watch the men’s game here.
