2014 AHS volleyball team celebrates the block

Last night, the Grizzlies played two league games in Eagle Point. However, Eagle Point was not their opponent. They lost to Marist and beat North Eugene. This adds additional intrigue to Tuesday’s match against Crater as an Ashland victory will leave the conference with a three-way tie for first place. Crater has beaten Marist twice, Marist has beaten Ashland twice, and Ashland has beaten Crater. Unfortunately for Ashland, the Crater game is on the road, and Ashland didn’t get a home game all season against Marist.

The following week begins the state tournament. The good news for Ashland is even if they lose to Crater, they will still have at least one home playoff game.

The Southern Oregon University volleyball team swept Corban and Northwest Christian these past two days on the road. They are now 11-1 in the conference and will be big favorites in Ashland for next weekend’s contests.

AHS volleyball – Soleil Lena

In a non-league game tonight at Ashland High School, Cascade Christian will pay the Grizzlies a visit. CCHS is one of the top 3A volleyball programs in the state. They have a perfect record against 3A teams and have beat several 4A and 5A teams. Ashland is coming off a weekend in which they were victorious against a couple of higher ranked 5A teams (Bend #2 and Summit #4 who were both defeated by Ashland on their home turf). So on paper this perhaps looks like another easy Ashland victory. However, Ashland will be without senior starters Jordan Tilley and Grace Lenthe so the underclassmen will need to step up their game. This should be a good one. Things will get started at about 7 p.m.

Last week’s road win was enough to earn the Raiders a spot in the top 10 in the national NAIA rankings this week. They have games at Corban and NCU this weekend.

Ashland High School volleyball

Yesterday was a pretty good day for my teams. The Ashland High School volleyball team won to improve their league record to 5-1. They play at Eagle Point on Tuesday night at 5:30.

SOU football won to go 5-0 on the season.

SOU volleyball won too, good for a 6-1 record in their conference.

The bad news is SOU soccer did not win, nor did my A’s.
