A chance to make it to the 16-team OSAA Basketball State Championships pool was on the line for the HRV girls basketball team Tuesday night, Feb. 27, in Milwaukie.
The HRV girls basketball team headed into their matchup at The Dalles on Tuesday night on a three-game losing streaking, including an 0-2 start to Columbia River Conference play after road losses to Pendleton and Hermiston.
Right when it seemed like The Dalles was about to make a hard-charging comeback, Hood River Valley guard Haylee Baker sank a pair of fourth-quarter 3-pointers to cap a 16-10 run and give the Eagles a 51-38 girls’ basketball victory, the program’s first league win over a seven-year span, Tuesday in The Dalles.

If the current HRV junior varsity girls lacrosse team is any indicator of what the future holds for the school’s varsity program, get ready to see the Eagles’ trophy case fill up.
The nonleague schedule for the HRV girls basketball team drew to a close Tuesday night and with it, another difficult loss to a 6A team that the Eagles had to put behind them as they prepared for their Columbia River Conference debut against the Pendleton Buckaroos (4-9) on the road Friday.
