THE DALLES — Inspired by a festive homecoming celebration, The Dalles High Riverhawks had hoped to get their first win in Special District 2 (SD2) football, but instead it was Gladstone who spoiled the fun-filled atmosphere by winning, 35-6.

The Riverhawks (0-2 SD2, 2-4 overall), guided by first-year Coach Nate Timmons, dropped their fourth straight contest with Parkrose coming to town for a 7 p.m. matchup Oct. 18.
