THE ROGUE NEWS
FRIDAY, MAY 19. 1944
TlP-DFf BY TflflUm
Well, the sports program for this year to Just about finished.
And as we look back over the athletic accomplishments this has
probohly been the best year for sports in the history of Ashland High.
Things started with bang last fall, with a very light team
taking the gridiron, under the directioa of Al Simpson. After
dropping an opener to K. Falls ,the mighty Grizzlies rolled over
team after team, osing only one more that season, to a very strong
Eureka squad. Sparked by a cannon-ball left-half Barney Riggs,
the Ashland team amassed 262 points to 99 for their opponents.
When football season was over, nobody dreamed the alma mater
tvoulu have more than ft fuir basketball quintet, and after the first
few encounters, most of us were sure that It wouldn't even be that
good.
Then came a few changes in the line-up and things really began
to happen. Victory after victory was credited to the Grizzlies, and
when the conference race was over Ashland had a secure berth at
the state tournament. What happened then is now history in the ath
letic records of Ashland High. Three victories (over St. Helens,
Washington of Portland, and Bend) and the Grizzlies brought home
the first state championship to come to Ashland in 22 years.
Besides winning the title Ashland placed two men, Jim Bartelt
and Barney Riggs on the All-State first team.
To top them all off, baseball
was revived and Simpson tutored
a swell diamond nine which ended
with a season record of winning
four and losing five. Ashland fin
ished second in the Southern Ore
gon High School league and
Riggs, playing catcher and third
base, led the loop in batting.
In track this spring, Ashland
lettered more men than ever be
fore in the history of the school.
Tad Gandee was the biggest find,
being only Ashland man to qualify
for the state tournament. Five
Ashland men entered the district
meet, Barney Riggs, Jim Bartelt,
Gordon Peterson, John Reedy, and
Gandee, to garner 11 points for
5th place. i
Now that sports program is
over and another year coming up,
we would like to pay tribute to
Coach Simpson, who directed ev
ery sport and all the intrumural
activities.
