Visiting The Dalles High built a big lead early before having to hold off a late Hood River Valley rally to survive a non-league girls basketball game Dec. 22 at Vannet Court, 31-30. The Riverhawks, who won their 10th straight in the Gorge rivalry series, improved their season record to 2-1 with the win. Hood River, which trailed by as many as 12 points early, found a spark late in the second quarter, carrying over into the second half. The Eagles started playing more aggressively, especially on offense, and slowly came back from the early deficit.
