There have been many recent softball games in Ashland for the Raiders. There will be many more this week. However, this is it. After this week the Raiders will play all of their remaining games on the road.

Today’s doubleheader (games begin at 2 and 4) will be against Oregon Tech, the conference leaders with a 14-3 record in CCC play.

The crop of the above photo on souraiders.com is pretty crazy. I kind of like it, but in case you want to see the rest of the image I offer the latest installment in “The Whole Picture”.

I’m probably one of the few owners of the Tamron 150-600mm lens that has used it less for wildlife photography than for other types of photography, but here is a rare wildlife shot I have taken with it.

Jeremy Guthrie, AHS alum and pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, will be at the AHS football stadium on Tuesday, March 24 from 3:00-4:30 p.m. to kick off the fundraising for the turf field project. He’ll address the crowd, sign autographs, and be available for photos at the event. Guthrie has generously donated $650,000 toward a turf field at AHS. The field will be used for home football and soccer games, PE classes, and community use. It will be a tremendous enhancement to Ashland High School programs.

Green Grizzly

Grizzly Peak is brown for most of the year. Occasionally it will be white on top, and sometimes it is green on the side. However, an unusually warm winter and early spring, coupled with above average rain, has led to it being greener this March than at any other time I can remember.

Softball honorable mentions

After a 2-2 week, in which the Raiders split doubleheaders with the #8 and #10 teams in the country, two Southern Oregon softball players received conference honorable mentions as players of the week. Conference play begins this weekend against Concordia and Northwest on the road. Next week the second set of rankings come out, and it will be interesting to see if the 19-9 Raiders crack the top 25 (given that most of their loses were to teams in the top ten).

The 16-4 Raider softball team will play 8 games over the next few days in California. They will be playing ranked teams like Simpson, Biola, and Concordia (California) so a strong showing could put the Raiders in the rankings when the next poll comes out on March 17.

Softball Players of the Week

@SOURaiders @A_Dirty3 @SOU_Softball @brickhouse_1

It’s pretty unusual for the CCC to pick both their offensive and defensive players of the week from the same team, but the SOU Raiders had a pretty unusual week going 6-0, including a 4-1 victory over the #10 team in the country. This is a pretty unusual team, with their 16-4 record and roster made up of seven freshmen. They were picked to come in 5th place in the CCC, and, although the CCC games haven’t begun, this team looks better than a 5th place team.

Your last chance to catch the 10-4 Raiders at home for a while is today. They play two starting at 1 p.m. at University Field which is located at the corner of Iowa and Wightman Streets in Ashland. The weather looks great (should be close to 60 degrees and sunny), and there won’t be another home game until March 7.

The Raiders will be looking for a bit of revenge against the University of British Columbia today as UBC was the Raiders only loss to a team not ranked in the NAIA Top 10 or in the NCAA. More details on today’s games can be found here.
