The Hood River Valley High Eagle volleyball team recorded its first Northwest Oregon Conference victory — and first win overall — of 2024, 3-0, at Parkrose on Sept. 9.

The Eagles won three sets by close margins - 25-21, 26-24, 25-21 — in their league opener. HRV (1-3 NWOC, 1-3 overall), guided by second-year Coach Susan Preston, followed the win by losing two NWOC matches in a three-team event Sept. 12 at Canby High School. The Eagles lost, 3-1, to host Canby (3-2 NWOC, 5-2 overall), and 3-0 to La Salle Prep (3-2 NWOC, 3-6 overall).
