…SOU mounted a stunning comeback to defeat the undefeated College of Idaho Coyotes.
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 varsity volleyball team of Ashland High School took down Grants Pass last night in three straight games at home.
I caught my first SOU volleyball game of the season this past Tuesday night. The gym floor at Southern Oregon University is being refinished so the Lady Raiders played against Pacific Union at the Ashland High School Gym instead (hence the Go Grizzlies banner in the background). They play some games on the road before coming back home (to Ashland High School again) on August 31. I can’t make that game but hope to be able to see them back in the Bob Riehm Arena on campus on September 4 against rival Oregon Tech in their conference opener.
This week was the Ashland High School Grizz Volleyball Camp. This weekend the SOU Women’s Volleyball team will play their first games of the 2012 season as they host a tournament in town. (We will be camping so I won’t be going to those games.) Next week there are tryouts for the Ashland High School volleyball team.
I don’t have to take many photos in the gym to realize how much easier it is to get good shots out of doors. Beach volleyball, baseball, etc. can yield much better results when it comes to photography.
