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.
After a doubleheader sweep of the previously #1-ranked team in the state, the 10-1 Grizzlies head into Tuesday afternoon’s matchup as the new #1. Game time is 5 p.m. at North Mountain Park on 4/12/16. Ashland High’s opponent will be 11-2 Marist. The winner will take over first place in the seven-team 5A Midwestern League.

Fortunately for the Raiders, I didn’t know what I was talking about yesterday when I said they’d need help to catch the Owls. Details here.
