Gida dials long distance in shooting contest
Allison Gida showed what a hot-shot she is Monday in the South Coast Les Schwab Holiday Tournament at Marshfield High. Sure, the Ashland senior did fine in the game, scoring 19 points in a rout of North Bend, but it was her exhibition at halftime of the preceding game that opened eyes.

My Heisman Trophy vote (if I had one)
We just put up another poll on our Web site: Who should win the Heisman Trophy?
My vote is for Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. And my reasoning is fairly basic. The award is supposed to go to the best college football player of 2009. Looking only at the finalist, I think that’s Gerhart. Never mind [...]
