Happy Halloween!
The annual Halloween Parade through town happens today beginning at 3:30 from the library to the plaza. Unfortunately, I’m in class until 5:30 so I will have to miss it this year.

SOU Raiders football
Manny Barragan rushes for the Southern Oregon University football team against Carroll College
More photos today from Saturday’s win over the Carroll College Fighting Saints…
Clay Sierra hauls in the football.
This was called a touchdown. At the time I thought Jared Hunt's knee went down when the ball was at the one, but this photo shows his knees still in the air. I still think he went down before the ball crossed the goal line though.
Plays are called from the sidelines via images on the big sign and four other football players making hand signals and other gestures.
By the way, I met another photographer, George McKay, earlier in the day at the Ashland Monster Dash. He was also taking pictures at the football game and runs a blog similar to this one. Check out his Life in Ashland blog.
SOU upsets Carroll in a 52-49 win
The Southern Oregon University Raiders football team played great during the second quarter yesterday. This bomb from Austin Dodge to Patrick Donahue got things going. They didn’t dominate in any other quarter, but they did enough during this single quarter to allow for a victory in the end.
Ashland Monster Dash 2012
For some reason I’ve never been in town when the Ashland Monster Dash has happened. Last year we were in Portland. So this was my first, and it was funner than expected–even without any blue in the sky.
I have hundreds of decent images from this morning’s races and costume contest so I’ll be posting many over the coming days.
Game of the week this Saturday in Ashland
Saturday afternoon at Raider Stadium in Ashland will feature a big game. SOU is coming off three consecutive victories in which they scored 60+ points–something which has never been done before in college football in Oregon. Not even the Oregon Ducks can make such a claim.
Southern Oregon University’s opponent will be a formidable one however. The Carroll College Saints are ranked in the top 10 and have won the NAIA National Championship for football 6 times (all in the past 10 years!). This should be a good game.
Ashland High School Football
I went to my first high school football game in 27 years this past Friday night. The lighting was horrific–not just for photography, but it was not easy to see the field, period.
The game between Ashland High School and Marshfield High School was a blowout with Ashland winning 61-14. Pictured above is one of the many touchdowns on the night for the Grizzlies.
Mud Bay Jugglers
The temperature in Ashland has dropped over the past week or two. It no longer feels like summer, and that means no more Green Show before the OSF plays at night. This past weekend featured the last Green Show acts of the 2012 season. Saturday night’s performers were a touring troupe known as the Mud Bay Jugglers. These three pictured here were backed by a four-piece band, and they put on a great show.
More Zombies
With Halloween less than three weeks away, perhaps these photos will provide you with some costume or makeup ideas should you want to dress up as a zombie. I took these pics at Ashland’s Zombie Walk last week.
SOU Volleyball
This past Friday night I went to my first volleyball game in Southern Oregon University’s Bob Riehm Arena since the floor was redone. The Raider mascot logo is now on the middle of the floor, and it looks great. Liz Madden wasn’t anywhere near the floor when she made this kill in route to a 3-2, comeback victory for the Lady Raiders over Concordia University.
