Last Saturday there was a large and spirited rally in Medford, part of a national outpouring of revulsion over the Trump/Sessions treatment of families seeking asylum at our southern border.

This statement is an excellent pointer: “Be still and know there is peace.” But helpful hints are always easier to verbalize than to actually put into practice.

Southern Oregon proved on Wednesday that when it’s in top form it can go toe-to-toe with defending national champion and fourth-ranked Texas at Brownsville. The 17th-ranked Raiders also showed how quickly things can get out of hand if they happen to struggle against the Ocelots, which is what went down for much of the NAIA National Championships pool play match in Sioux City, Iowa. Texas at Brownsville took advantage of Southern Oregon’s serving and passing woes and fought off four
