After last weekend’s road win over an almost-ranked Oregon Tech team, the Southern Oregon University women’s basketball team moved up two spots in the rankings. This weekend they play at 5-4 College of Idaho and #27 (7-2) Eastern Oregon.

We are currently experiencing a bit of a lull in the home sports action at SOU. The wrestling and basketball teams have been on the road and will continue to compete away this weekend. The next event in Ashland is next week’s wrestling vs. Simpson on the 29th.
mOcean Volleyball Club’s 2015 17U team at the California Kickoff
After just four practices, mOcean’s 17U team fared well in their first time playing competitively as a group, ending the tournament with a 12-3 mark. (The girls usually play against each other as they are from seven different high schools in California and Southern Oregon, but this is their first time working together.) They have two local tournaments to iron out some kinks before heading south again for the President’s Day weekend tourney in San Mateo next month where they will likely face some of the same (mostly SF Bay Area) teams.

No team has been able to beat mOcean yet. Stiffer competition awaits as only eight teams remain. Next game is at 11:30.

@NCVAVolleyball
No word yet on tomorrow’s brackets, but the mOcean 17U team got through pool play without a loss today. The #2 seed lost to mOcean twice so mOcean should be one of the top seeds in the top bracket for Sunday’s double elimination tournament.

Cue the Ozzy…
Saturday the Raiders will head over to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Tech. The SOU men are ranked #10 and the women are #14. While neither OIT team is in the rankings, they aren’t far out and are never easy to beat on their home court.
Meanwhile, I’ll be heading over a different mountain on Friday, the Siskiyou Pass, as the mOcean volleyball club 17U team gets its first taste of competition in the California Kickoff Tournament in Santa Clara.

Piles of coffee table books documenting the 2014 SOU football team’s season arrived in the mail today. I decided to go captionless with the format rather than have words clutter up the pages. The only words are on the front and rear covers.
There are two versions of this book. The regular version is 33 full-color pages in length (plus front and rear cover photos) and includes about 40 different photos, most photos being in a large 8″ x 11″ format. Some of the photos have not been published anywhere before (or even been seen by anyone but me). Others are favorites that have been well received on the internet already (but many people haven’t seen them on anything other than their phones). These photos look much better in large print on high quality paper than on a small smart phone screen. The photos come from seven of the games during the Raiders 13-2 championship season and a few are from other events (like the parade in Ashland and activities in Daytona Beach).
The deluxe version is 43 full-color pages in length plus the front and rear covers. The deluxe version is a hard cover book which includes all of the photos from the regular version plus 10 more.
All profits from the sale of these books will go toward the SOU football program. Championship t-shirts are available through the link here.
P.S. Lots of you are emailing me asking to reserve books for you. I’m not selling the books. SOU is selling the books. Details here. Note that the regular version has sold out. There are a few deluxe versions left (as many more of them were ordered).
