Hood River Valley’s girls water polo team split two matches the past week as it continues its journey to the state playoffs.

The Eagles (14-4) stepped up into the Class 6A ranks, taking on defending state champion Barlow on Oct. 20. The Bruins gave HRV all it could handle in a 16-6 win.  The Eagles bounced back with a 15-4 victory two days later against Mountain View of Bend in 5A league play.
