Hall of Fame
With Dick Blacksmith, John Popplewell and Ken Stevenson lettering alongside each other for four years, the Southern Oregon College men's tennis team was an Oregon Collegiate Conference powerhouse. During their time, the Raiders never lost an OCC dual match and claimed the OCC Tournament title four years in a row. At the NAIA District II Championships, the team placed second in 1963, tying for first in '64 and '65, and winning it outright in '66. Blacksmith, Popplewell and Stevenson competed at the NAIA National Championships, too, and led Southern Oregon to eighth place as seniors.
