Missions accomplished for the Hood River Valley girls and boys water polo teams this week, as they earned spots into next weekend’s state championship tournament in Corvallis.

The Eagles (18-4), who lost just two seniors to graduation from its 2021 state runner-up team, will return to Osborn on Nov. 11 and play No. 4 seed Ashland in one semifinal match at 12:10 p.m.
West Albany plays Hillsboro in the other girls semifinal. Winners in the semis advance to the Nov. 12 3 p.m. championship. The girls third-place game is at 10 a.m.
