Shorthanded Ashland led by two points with under a minute to go but Klamath Union finished with a 5-2 flurry to cap a 63-60 Southern Sky Conference victory Friday at Klamath Falls. Ashland junior point guard Adam Pavlich missed the game because of illness and Mason Costantino was out with a dislocated thumb. The Grizzlies [...]
By Mark Vinson For the Tidings Kelsey McKinnis’ dream game was Brenna Heater’s nightmare. McKinnis, a senior guard on the Ashland High girls basketball team, scored a career-high 31 points as the Grizzlies won their eighth straight game, dominating outmanned Klamath Union 63-48 in a Southern Sky Conference contest on Friday night at the Ashland [...]
The Ashland High boys basketball team let one slip away, missing the front end of three crucial one-and-one trips to the free throw down the stretch in a 63-60 Southern Sky Conference loss to Klamath Union tonight at Klamath Falls. The Pelicans (10-7, 2-4 SSC), on the other hand, hit 7-of-9 free throws in the [...]

We may have pictures, too. Both games tip-off at 7 p.m. – the girls will be back at Ashland Middle School after Tuesday’s game [...]
Backcourt mates Josh Lokeno and Travis Robbins combined to score 18 points in the fourth quarter as the Crater boys basketball team took a major step toward a possible SSC title with a 61-46 runaway victory over Ashland Tuesday at McNeal Pavilion.

For those who have not noticed, we began a new feature/series three weeks ago that runs in the sports page every Monday: “After Ashland”. Basically, it’s our attempt at answering a common question, “Hey, whatever happened to (insert your favorite former Ashland High or SOU athlete here) …” An example: Corey Costantino, Willamette University senior [...]
Just a heads up that this space may soon be de-blogged as I take a week off to meet and hold child No. 3 (first girl). We’re expecting the future of the Grizzlies’ volleyball/softball/girls basketball programs, Lily, to arrive any minute now – my wife’s due date is actually today. Lily will be trying to [...]
I hate to get away from local stuff here, but has anybody else noticed the train wreck that is the Portland Trail Blazers’ pick-and-roll defense?
