Tonight is the final, regular season home game for the 18-5 Ashland High School volleyball team. Hence, it is also senior night so today’s photos feature the team’s seniors. Game time is 6:45 at the AHS gym. Since Ashland is currently ranked #6 in the state, they will likely have a home playoff game as well (on Halloween).

SOU vs Carroll
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @CCSaints @FConference
The new Coaches’ Poll came out today. Carroll College’s home loss to Eastern Oregon University dropped Carroll from #4 to #11 in the official rankings. Massey Ratings isn’t buying it, however. They still have Carroll at #2 and SOU at #1. Of course Massey has Eastern Oregon at #7. With the most difficult schedule in the NAIA, Massey understands EOU’s 2-4 record a little better than the coaches who haven’t given EOU any votes.
Montana Western took SOU into overtime, but the coaches punished them as well. Montana Western is now down to #22 even though their only two losses were to SOU and Carroll. Massey has Montana Western at #4.
Clearly the NAIA coaches don’t want to see more than two Frontier Conference teams in the post season (and why would they as the only time a Frontier Conference team lost in the post season last year was when they had to play another Frontier Conference team!!!). Massey has 5 Frontier Conference teams in the top 7 (and 7 in the top 14)!
Carroll plays at SOU this Saturday. The last two times this happened, the Raiders came out with a victory.

It’s a Saturday in October, which means good weather and lots of sporting events on tap. Only one will be in Ashland; the 16-2 SOU Volleyball team will be taking on Evergreen at 5.
Before then men’s soccer will play at noon in Washington, simultaneously football will be playing in Montana, and women’s soccer will play at 2 (also in Washington).

Ashland High School volleyball victory over Crater (September 2015)
@VolleyballGrizz
Today’s photo shows how things ended up when Ashland traveled to Crater last month. Crater will look for revenge in Ashland tonight beginning at 6:45.

The entire Frontier Conference had a bye yesterday, but that doesn’t mean things won’t change in tomorrow’s coaches’ poll.
#3 Faulkner lost, at home, to an unranked team. That will drop them down a ways. The coaches will likely put them near the bottom of the top 10 even though Massey Ratings has them at #14, not far from the #9 they had them at before the loss.
#1 Lindsey Wilson won, not surprisingly, to another winless team. Lindsey Wilson’s opponents now have a combined record of… 1-19. That’s not a typo. The one win of one of the teams they beat came against an 0-5 team. In other words, it’s not mathematically possible for them to have had an easier schedule so far. Lindsey Wilson will likely lose, at least once and probably twice, over the next four weeks as they finally begin to play decent teams.
#4 Morningside could tie or pass idle Southern Oregon as they beat the #14 team on the road. Massey Ratings has Morningside at #4, but the coaches love the Great Plains Conference. Don’t be surprised to see them at #2 on Monday.
Meanwhile the Raiders will be traveling to Montana Western this weekend. Massey has this as #1 @ #3.
