HOOD RIVER - A three-game losing streak didn’t seem to matter to the Hood River Valley boys lacrosse team to end the regular season, as playoff stand-in West Albany abruptly found out May 15 at Henderson Stadium.
The host Eagles beat the Bulldogs, 22-2, to advance to the May 19 second round of the Oregon High School Lacrosse Association playoffs and a second-round game at Columbia Conference rival Grant of Portland. The 6 p.m. game at Grant Bowl pits two Columbia teams that split two matches this spring: HRV won 7-6 on April 16 at home; Grant won the rematch 9-8 in overtime on May 5.
That loss was the first of three to end the regular season for HRV, which seems to have ridded itself of the taste of that defeat with the 20-point playoff win over West Albany. Marist was the 24th ranked team in the final LAXnumbers rankings, which the state association uses to seed the postseason playoffs. The first 24 teams qualify for the Championship Bracket, while the next 16 earn spots in the second tier Cascade Cup. Marist opted for the Cascade Cup, where it is the top-seeded team.
The winner of the HRV vs. Grant game advances to play the winner of the game between No. 1 Oregon Episcopal School and No. 17 Lake Oswego on May 22 at the site of the higher seeded team.
