Winton’s HR was a two-run shot, and the Raiders went on to win over #18 Vanguard in California. Sydney White pitched the first five for the Raiders.

The Raiders beat #20 Biola later in the day by the same score.

@SOUWrestling @SOURaiders

Southern Oregon had 6 women wrestlers compete in the WCWA Women’s Nationals 2016 this weekend. Other than the Raiders, no team with fewer than 10 wrestlers finished in the top 14. The 10 teams that finished above the Raiders averaged over 18 wrestlers per team! For a first year program, the results really couldn’t have been much more impressive. Details, as of Friday night, can be found here. Saturday’s details can be found here.

@nervosathrash

Time travel does exist. Almost 30 years ago, I saw Sepultura a few days into their first visit to the USA. I haven’t seen another band from Brazil since (except Hibria, but that doesn’t really count as I was in Japan, and I wasn’t going to Loudpark see them).

I was looking forward to Nervosa after listening to their tunes online. However, they far exceeded my expectations. If I dare say, they were better (much more fun anyway) than Sepultura was at The Omni in Oakland in 1989.

May their careers be longer (much longer–Sepultura broke up, for the most part, seven years later) than their Brazilian thrash predecessors.

Nervosa @ Club 66 (Ashland, Oregon)

If you are in California, Texas, Utah, Colorado, or the other places Nervosa will pass through on their current tour, you don’t want to miss this. Next time you will be stuck with thousands.

Laurence Calcagno

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @TamronUSA 150-600mm #withmytamron

Remember that time in 2014 in Chicago when Laurence Calcagno tipped this pass?

Heston Altenbach

Heston Altenbach came down with it.

And then took off for the end zone.

SOU beat #3 St. Xavier to clinch a spot in the National Championship Game in Daytona.

Which Southern Oregon won!
