My “little” (6’1″) 14-year old is starting to bring it. This photo is from a tournament in Medford this past weekend. Her 15U mOcean Volleyball Club team was playing the 17U travel team at the time.

This year’s campus theme at SOU is “Happiness”, and the Annual Stevenson Union Photo Contest is for photos dealing in some way with happiness. I can’t win the contest since I am faculty and not a student, but I thought it would be fun to enter anyway. I submitted four photos, and this was one of them. I’m looking forward to seeing the chosen photos on display early next year.

This is a pic of the Ashland High School varsity volleyball team this past season.

The nice thing about volleyball photography is you don’t have to change seats to change your view as the teams switch sides after each game.

Today’s photo is a better look at the Raider Hawk in the new gym floor of the Bob Riehm Arena that I mentioned yesterday.

This past Friday night I went to my first volleyball game in Southern Oregon University’s Bob Riehm Arena since the floor was redone. The Raider mascot logo is now on the middle of the floor, and it looks great. Liz Madden wasn’t anywhere near the floor when she made this kill in route to a 3-2, comeback victory for the Lady Raiders over Concordia University.

The high school sports continue today. I’m heading over to AHS in a bit for my daughter’s JV volleyball game. Today’s photo is from a tournament at Phoenix High School a few weeks ago.
