Opening ceremonies

The 2009 Little League baseball/softball season officially begins in Ashland today. The opening ceremony begins at 4 p.m. at Hunter Park. If you can’t make it out there, I strongly recommend taking in at least one LL game this year. It’s a fun way to support your community and as a bonus, there’s not a [...]

Bye, bye TV scheds

Based on the overwhelming response from our readers I expect this to be the hottest blog entry in Tidings history. Our weekly TV schedule, which used to appear in Revels every Thursday, has gone the way of analog cable, axed in a company-wide cost-cutting move.

The Grizzlies took a 2-0 lead on Garrett Tygerson’s second home run of the season but lost the momentum quickly in a 9-2 loss to North Canyon.

Grizz baseball: Still good

I just got back from watching the Ashland High baseball team dismantle South Medford, a 6A school, and boy, the Grizzlies look impressive. Again. Pitchers Charlie Sebrell  and Garrett Tygerson combined to hold the Panthers to one run and the Grizz offense scored 11 runs on 10 hits to win 11-1 in six innings. Tygerson [...]
