Thank you
Thank you to Lori Norton and all Titan fans. Last week I posted some concerns about noise makers. I also asked Lori to use her e-mail network to get word directly to our fans about both the noise makers and some concerns I had about "pop up" tents (hardly "four pages" of instructions"!!!). Lori helped tremendously.
The result: we had no problem with either issue. As an AD my worst fear is having to confront a loyal Titan supporter about an action at a game. Worse I don't want to referee disputes between loyal Titan supporters. With Lori's help we managed to avoid either of those.
Thanks again to Lori and to all loyal Titan fans for your understanding and willingness to help.

First, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday. Second, we'll see you Friday!

Noise Makers
Throughout this past football season we have had issues with noisemakers at our games.
It is expressley against the rules of both the CVC and the OSAA to use noisemakers during contests in any sport. This includes air horns, cow bells, thundersticks, etc., etc. Two items are allowed: the large megaphones designed for and used by cheerleaders only and the small individual-sized megaphones for use by fans.
If these are used during a game, it is entirely within the judgment of the officials as to whether the offending side is penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Please don't take a chance and potentially cost our team 15 yards. It's not worth it.

Football Playoffs
The Titans will open the football playoffs against the Roseburg Indians on Friday, 11/20 at 7:00 p.m.
The Indians beat Barlow in the first round.
As usual, parking will be at a premium. No parking on Landigard (sp?) Drive, as that is a private drive. Parking and entry in the back of the building is recommended, much easier on all counts.
Finally, OSAA ticket policies are in effect. $6.00 for adults/$4.00 for students as defined by the OSAA. No passes are accepted other than OACA "Gold Cards" and OSAA-issued passes.
See you Friday.

My Apologies
I want to take a moment and publicly apologize for my omission of the volleyball program's season and all-CVC results from last night's Fall Sports Night. I have apologized to the coaches and folks who received awards last night but I also want to do so for those associated with our volleyball program but who weren't present.
There is no great explanation for my mistake. I have no idea why I didn't catch it. No excuses.
Here's what I would and should have said:
"The volleyball team completed another year in which they ended in the playoffs. This has become routine for the program under Coach Armstrong. We finished the CVC season with 7 wins and 5 losses and the #3 seed from the CVC. We eventually were eliminated by Gresham - the third year in a row - a perennial power in Oregon volleyball. Another great year for our volleyball program."
I also should have mentioned the following athletes who received all-CVC honors:
Meredith Coba 1st team setter
Sydney Smith 2nd team middle hitter
Delanie Amador honorable mention middle hitter
Again, the participants and followers of our volleyball teams have a right to feel slighted and angry. Obviously this was not my intention. If I could go back and have a redo I certainly would.

The program has reached a level of excellence under of Coach Jaeger and this team just further reinforced that excellence.
