SOU Women’s Basketball
Brenna Anderson
Saturday night will be a big game for the Lady Raiders as they head to Klamath Falls to face an OIT team with an identical conference record as their own (10-5). The winner will be in second place and the loser will not. Second place means you will host two playoff games (assuming you win the first playoff game). Third and fourth places offer no such guarantee.

Jeff Bush (Southern Oregon University’s All-Time Assist Leader)
For the first time in many weeks, the SOU Men’s Basketball Team is moving up, instead of down, in the national rankings. This week they are checking in at #15 before their weekend visit over the Cascade Mountain Range to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Tech (who they have already defeated twice this season).

Eric Thompson
This was Eric’s fifth time winning the award. His 38 points on Friday were enough to do it as he had a below average (for him) showing on Saturday. The team did win both games though.
SOU Men’s Basketball Senior Night with Coach Brian McDermott and David Sturner’s family
Last night was the last regular season home basketball games at SOU. Since both teams won there is a good chance that there will be at least one home game in the Cascade Conference Playoffs. They still have three games to go on the road before we know for sure.
Due to it being the possible final performances in front of the home crowd, it was also senior night. Two women and five men were honored. The men were given poster boards with a bunch of my photos on them. David Sturner was checking out the pics you can see below in the above photo.

Breast Cancer Awareness Night
Last night was Breast Cancer Awareness Night at the SOU basketball games. Both the men’s and women’s teams wore pink socks.
The referees in the women’s game blew pink whistles.

And Coach Kennedy sported a pink tie.
The results were good. Both SOU teams won, and both moved into second place in the 10-team Cascade Conference.
Tonight is Senior Night so arrive by 7 p.m. (after the women’s game) to see the honoring of the seniors on both teams. Better yet, arrive at 5:30 to watch the women’s game as they face a difficult Evergreen team which beat OIT last night.
Although both teams are currently in position to host at least one home game in the Cascade Conference Playoffs, they are also just a loss or two away from 5th place which would mean tonight will be their last home game(s). So come cheer them on to victory and hopefully some more home games.
Grizzly Peak blue hour
We have some friends who live near the top of Park Street. I have always wanted a shot of the view but have never had my camera with me (until last night). This was an hour or so after the blue hour, but with a 30-second exposure a bit of time travel was possible.
Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. in Ashland on 2/7/14.
