SOU football play calling

@SOU_Football @SOURaiders

The Southern Oregon University football team was ranked #22 going into the season. After blowing out Menlo College on the road, defeating #2 Carroll College, and finishing off #26 Eastern Oregon in the first three weeks of the season they jumped to #9 in the new NAIA poll released today.

The Raiders will be playing at Phillips Field (Ashland High School) this Saturday (9/20/14) against undefeated College of Idaho. The game starts at 1 p.m., but you will want to arrive before noon to get a seat in the shaded grandstand. The weather forecast predicts temperatures in the 90s.

After this Saturday, future football games will be played at Raider Stadium with the new turf.

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.

“Keep on Keepin’ On” in Ashland’s Varsity Theater

@KeepinOnFilm @alhicksfilm @JustinKauflin

This weekend (9/19/14) this beautiful film will hit theaters nationwide. My mom had died the prior year, and my dad was dying when I saw this so I was probably extra emotional, but this movie really touched me.

Repellent @ Base Kamp Awesome

An all-ages, early show is happening at Club 66 today (9/14/14). Things begin at 5 p.m. Come a bit early and Uzi will cook you up some dinner or a late breakfast. I’m mostly looking forward to GraveWitch, a two-piece “Melodic Blackened Thrash Metal” band from Bend.
