Pho Sur Vietnamese Asian Fusion Restaurant – Phoenix, Oregon
A Vietnamese restaurant opened in Phoenix, Oregon a few months back. I just discovered it about 10 days ago and have already gone back. Apparently they originally had a Pho Sur in Grants Pass and this is their second version. I like it, a lot. I had a bowl of noodle soup the first time and green curry with beef (pictured above) for round two. I’m excited for round three.
Not only is the food great, but it is cheap. Most items are just $8, and there is no meals tax since it is out of Ashland.
If you are in the area and want to give it a try, the address is 4150 South Pacific Hwy. It is located behind Jack in the Box, next to Ray’s Market. It’s the only restaurant in Phoenix where you can expect a crowd.

Volleyball tournament action
Another full day of volleyball action today. Today’s photo is from last week’s tournament. We came in 2nd place out of 16 teams last week. Maybe today mOcean Blitz will finally win a tournament (after knocking on the door the first three tournaments).
NAIA wrestling tournament at SOU
With two matches going at the same time, instead of a buzzer when time expired, one of the SOU volleyball players would tap the referee on the back when the clock ticked down to zero.
Between the wrestling singlet and the numerous crotch grabs, many of my photos aren’t very presentable. This last picture isn’t quite so obscene, but it is a strange one.
Southern Oregon University Wrestling
Bob Riehm Arena in wrestling tournament configuration
I was expecting lighting like the last time I attended a wrestling meet at SOU. I thought a wide angle shot might be pretty cool looking, with the single light over the center of the mat. However, with this many matches (10 a.m. until 8 p.m. non stop) they had two mats out and most of the lights on, not as dramatic, but I took a wide angle shot anyway.
Derek Rottenberg of SOU has Kody Reed by the leg
With one leg bound high in the air and the other coming off the mat courtesy of Derek’s left foot, Reed was not in a great position at this point. Rottenberg went on to win the match.
SOU wrestling team hosted the NAIA West Region Qualifying Tournament

This past Saturday, Southern Oregon University hosted the NAIA West Region Qualifying Tournament for wrestling. I’ll have a few more photos from the event over the next week.
SOU came out on top to win the West Championship and will be sending a dozen wrestlers (the maximum allowed from a single school) to the NAIA National Championships next weekend.
SOU Women’s Soccer
I’m looking forward to a return to outdoor sports. No, soccer doesn’t resume until the fall, but SOU softball has begun and the team will be playing at home soon.
