Crater High School comes into today’s game at 5 p.m. at North Mountain Park with an eight-game winning streak. Ashland has only six conference games remaining (while Crater has nine). Three of those are head-to-head games between the Comets and Grizzlies. In the Midwestern League Ashland is three back of Crater in the loss column and two back of Marist. Ideally, they need a sweep of Crater, Crater to beat Marist a couple times, and Eagle Point to upset Marist once as well in order to win the league. The top six teams in the conference make the playoffs, and the top four get home games. The top two in the league get first round byes and likely home games deeper into the playoffs though.

The heptathlon is over, and favorite Tiana Thomas took first place again.
Freshman Joe Dotson of Southern Oregon is clinging to a slim second-place lead heading into the final events of the decathlon. Oregon Tech’s Seth Gretz, one of the NAIA’s top decathletes, has a large lead.

The CCC heptathlon and decathlon are happening today and tomorrow at Raider Stadium in Ashland. You can watch the events live or follow the results online here.
Nick Sanderson was the big contributor on offense and defense in the Grizzlies win over Churchill yesterday. He held the Lancers to just one run through five innings of work on the mound. His triple (and run scored) and RBI double in his first two at bats on the offensive side of things were the difference in the game.
Ashland will face Churchill twice more this weekend in Eugene. Next week AHS is back in town against Crater, who will likely come into that game riding an eight-game winning streak.
Half of the conference games have been completed, and no one is running away with the 5A Midwestern League. Of the seven teams in the league, only Springfield is out of the running. The second half of the season will determine who makes it to state and where those games will be held. #8 Ashland faces #5 Churchill today @ 5 @ North Mountain Park.
