SOU Prom Dress Rugby
On 6/7/14 @ 1 p.m. a bunch of Southern Oregon University ladies and their female prom dates from elsewhere will do battle on the field near Raider Stadium for the third time in as many years. Admission will also allow you to partake of the BBQ happening on the sidelines. Discount (only $6 including food), presale tickets are available in the Stevenson Union this week. You can also purchase a ticket and BBQ at the gate.
Keegan Lawrence, formerly of Sherwood High School, will join SOU’s football program this fall
@k_law21 The Ashland High School baseball team was eliminated from the state playoffs this past Friday afternoon by Sherwood High School (once again). Keegan Lawrence led the Bowmen with four hits.
Later this year Keegan will hopefully be leading the Raiders in yards rushing. He was the 2013 Football Player of the Year for the state of Oregon before signing with Southern Oregon University. He averaged over 17 yards per carry. The Raiders will be more than happy with an average of half that.
AHS baseball – Eric Carlson slides into third with a triple against Dallas
@eric9carlson As I mentioned yesterday, Ashland advanced to the Quarterfinals with a win over Dallas.
The #1 seed, Bend, was upset by the #16 seed, and this is a single elimination tournament. Therefore, if Ashland can beat Sherwood (in Ashland) on Friday, they will host the Semifinal round as well. In addition, the #3 seed, Springfield, was upset so now Ashland has the second highest seed of the remaining teams.
Friday night is graduation in Lithia Park so Friday’s game will be an early, 2 p.m. start at North Mountain Park.
Ashland High School Baseball – Steen Fredrickson
@ahs_baseball @steenF_12 Steen, a junior, pitched 4.1 innings allowing just one earned run while striking out 7. Tommy Hulick pitched the final 2.2 innings in scoreless fashion. Ashland will host Sherwood on Friday afternoon.

Ashland High School Baseball – Bryce Rogan
This afternoon @ North Mountain Park the #4 Grizzles will open Round 1 of the 5A OSAA Baseball State Championship by hosting #13 seed Dallas High School (near Salem). First pitch is scheduled for 4:30.
OSU’s Andy Peterson
@AJ_Peterson1 Regionals begin this weekend with the Beavers staying home to host UNLV, UC Irvine, and North Dakota State.
Today’s photo is from the 2013 season. Andy Peterson has since changed numbers to #1. He leads the Beavers in stolen bases this season with 9. He is also tied for second on the team with 41 runs scored.
Ashland High School Baseball – Jerry Carroll
Ashland High School baseball avoided the play-in round of games by finishing 4th in the state rankings. That means they will likely have two home games. The first is May 28. If they win that game they will get another game in Ashland on May 30. The bad news is that due to the late season defeats they will probably have to travel to the #1 seed (unless Bend is upset before then) for the semifinal round. Had they ended the regular season ranked higher they could have earned an additional home game. Go Grizz!
Oregon Ducks Softball – Cheridan Hawkins struck out 11 Wisconsin batters in 7 innings
@OregonSB @CheridanH11 The Ducks hosted three other teams trying to get through them to the 2014 College Softball World Series this weekend. The regionals are a double-elimination format. The #1 ranked Ducks didn’t even use their one allowed loss. Instead, they went 3-0 to set up next weekend’s best two out of three series with #16 Minnesota. The winner will be going to the NCAA Women’s College Softball World Series.
Cheridan Hawkins is 31-4 so far this season with 302 strikeouts in 217 innings of work. Wisconsin was ranked #25 before losing twice to Oregon.
I’m heading up to Vancouver Lake in Washington today to catch the end of the NW Junior Regional Rowing Championships. I probably won’t see much. Crew isn’t much of a spectator sport unless you get to be in a boat. I’ll be going more to bring kids back to Ashland tomorrow.
