PREVIEW: South Eugene heads to nearby Thurston for rivalry contest

Written By: Griffin Bowes

This Friday night will feature a battle between two Eugene-area schools that will reveal a lot about the position of both programs in the league hierarchy. Coming into this game with a 4-0 league record, Thurston could not have asked for a better start. They sit atop the league standings with a one game lead over Springfield and Eagle Point, both of which they dominated in head-to-head matchups. Meanwhile, South Eugene currently sits in second-to-last place with a 1-3 league record, with the win coming against Willamette by 3 points. The Axe are in desperate need of a momentum shift after 3 consecutive losses, and this week’s test will not be an easy one. 

Thurston quarterback Noah Blair leads the league in both total passing yards and passing yards per game, with around a 2-to-1 lead over the second-place QB in both stats. As you would expect, their receiving stats are also very impressive.…

PREVIEW: The Ducks Are Looking to End Their Winless Streak Against ASU This Friday, October 13, 2023

By: Jack McArthur

Oregon’s 2023-24 journey has been a rocky one so far. Oregon are still seeking their first win. This Friday, October 13, Oregon will play against the Arizona State Sun Devils at home at Papé field. 

The Ducks remain winless this season with a record of 0-11-2. Oregon haven’t been unable to find consistent offensive production. Goals have been scarce for Oregon, with just six netted so far for the Ducks in 13 games played. The Ducks have five straight losses. They’re 0-5 in the last five, while ASU are 3-1-1 in their last five games.

Softball Preview: Fall Ball Is Back At The Jane

By: David Miller

The University of Oregon Ducks are set to take on the Corban University Warriors in their first game of the 2024 season on Sunday afternoon.

In their first friendly match of the 2023 fall season, the Ducks will test the strength of their roster when they take on the Corban Warriors. After losing leaders like Allee Bunker and Terra McGowan the Ducks are looking for who will take their role as the vocal leaders of the team.

The team is still ripe with seasoned talent at all positions. 14 of 23 Oregon players are upperclassmen, 4 of which are 5th year students.

For offensive output, the team will look to fifth-year outfielder Ariel Carlson…
