Season Recap
This year, Ashland's
Grizzlies have suffered at the
hands of nearly every tea.n in
the conference, not because of a
poor team, but because everyone
else is just as good. This
conference has been rated to be
one of the toughest in the state.
With such highrated
powerhouses in the conference,
we bears have our work cut out
for us.
Ashland's next encounter
will be tonight at Crater as the
Grizzlies trounce the fierballs.
Saturday, teh fighting bears will
travel to confront the fearsome
Indians at Roseburg.
Our Grizzlies need support,
so be sure and attend the games
whenever possible. A rooters
bus will be provided for the
Crater Clash, unfortunately,
there will be no after game
dance like last week's. K.C.
