Last week was frustrating for sure for The Dalles High Riverhawks, as they lost three Class 5A Intermountain Conference baseball games, extended their losing streak to six.

Playing for the first time in two weeks, The Dalles High Riverhawks boys golf team took second place in the six-team Class 5A Intermountain Conference tournament April 18 at Meadow Lakes Golf Course in Prineville.
The Hawks, guided by Coach Dan Telles, had a score of 369, just 10 strokes behind the first place Crook County High Cowboys at 359.

The Bruins (6-3-1 overall, 5-2 district) topped host Winlock, 3-2, on April 19 and beat visiting La Center 3-2 a day later. The grinding came in part because of the nine-hour round trip to Winlock and then a next-day match against La Center. It also came because of the quality of competition the Bruins had to face in the physical matches.
Hood River Valley’s boys golf team placed fifth out of six teams at a Class 5A Intermountain Conference tournament April 18 at Meadow Lakes Golf Course in Prineville.
