On Saturday April 23rd, Karl Graves made it official to become a Raider of Southern Oregon University in Ashland Oregon.  After Official visits with Western Oregon, Central Washington, and Southern Oregon University,  Karl said Southern felt like the best fit.  Hiring a new coach back in February, Craig Howard, Karl made a weekend of it down at the Ashland campus.  Hearing that the Raiders plan to run the same no huddle offense he had been use to for the past four years of High school at Skyview, and the fact that SOU had only 3 receivers on the roster, and were looking for a total of 12, Karl felt he would be a perfect fit into the Raiders new system.  Coach Howard felt the same way.  Offering a scholarship, and discussing with Karl that the coaches feel he could come in and play significant minutes as a freshman, if he works hard, Karl decided to sign with them.  This season the Raiders have 4-home games in Ashland, and play at Portland State on Sept. 3rd, and Willamette of Salem Sept. 17th.

Graves finished his career with Skyview in first or second place in every offensive receiving category, career catches of 108 for 1821 yds.  25 touchdowns with an average of 16.8 yds. per catch, all this while missing four and a half games with a high ankle sprain his senior year.

Karl was 1st team all county voted by the GSHL both his Jr. and Senior year, and will be playing in the All state East/West High School game this summer on July 1st  in Spokane, before reporting so Southern in early August.

Favorite Quote:  Football, it’s a game of inches.

I have played football for 5 years now, starting in 8th grade.

Other sports that I play have included swimming, track, and soccer.

My favorite local restaurant would be a toss up between Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys.

I draw inspiration from my family.  Their continual support helps motivate me to do the best that I can.  I find myself very lucky to be a part of the Orsi family.

My favorite thing about Skyview High School is the football team.  The amount of time and effort that we put into the team really makes it a big part of my life.

My favorite class in High School is tough to pick.  It would be a three way tie between AP US History, Principals of Engineering, and Shakespeare class.  The teachers in those classes help make the subject fun to learn.

February 2nd was a day of blessings and celebration!  Life long dreams that seemed so far away, not all that long ago, are now very real and directly in front of Skyview two-sport star, Ellis Henderson!  Ellis enjoyed his signing day experience surrounded by the people who have mentored, supported and assisted him throughout life.

A group of approximately 30 people gathered at a mid-morning signing event that included Ellis’ closest friends, members of the Henderson/Mohammadi families, all his sisters and brother Reiley, Skyview Varsity Coaching Staff, Paul Valencia from the Columbian and other supporting friends.  Ellis will pursue a degree in Marine Biology through the prestigious Hawaii aquatic reserve, Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay on the northern side of Oahu!
