Twenty-five years later, Grants Pass residents still remember where they were on Sept. 11, 2001.

“I was in bed,” recalled Joann Krausser. “My husband called me from work, and said, ‘Turn the TV on.’”

“I watched the television,” remembered Pam Lindemood. “Someone called me and said, ‘Look at the TV.’”

Silverton, the reigning Class 5A state champion, outscored Grants Pass 21-0 in the second half to run away with a 35-10 win in Friday’s matchup of top-5 football teams at Mel Ingram Field.

The Foxes (2-1), who are the top-ranked 5A team in this week’s coaches poll, used a ball-control, smashmouth offense and smothering defense to cruise by the fifth-ranked 6A Cavemen (2-1).

Divers were called in Friday to recover a body from the Rogue River in Grants Pass near Baker Park.

Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel said the body was discovered between the park and the Seventh Street Bridge by two fishermen traveling on the river.

He said the body was visible from the surface of the water, likely because of a combination of the river levels being low and the water being relatively warm, approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
