HOOD RIVER — Silverton outlasted Hood River Valley in the Nov. 5 first round of the Class 5A boys soccer state playoffs, edging the Eagles, 2-1, in a game decided 7-6 on eight rounds of penalty kicks.
The teams were tied 1-1 after regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods, sending the match into penalty kicks. Each team made four PKs, then each team missed on their fifth try. It was 6-6 when Silverton goalie Henry Briggs got a stop for the Silver Foxes (8-2-6) and teammate Colt Lorentz, a freshman, converted the winner.
It was a tough loss for Coach Alvaro Lara’s Eagles, who entered the match on a four-game win streak. HRV finished in third place in the final Northwest Oregon Conference standings with a 5-2-1 record (7-7-2 overall) and earned the ninth seed into the state playoffs.
Hood River last played Silverton in 2017, when HRV beat the Silver Foxes in the first round of the playoffs. Silverton had missed the state playoffs last season, but the Silver Foxes have qualified for the postseason four times since the 2017 season, most recently in 2023.
Silverton (8-3-6), seeded eighth in the playoffs, lost its quarterfinal playoff match, 3-0, on Nov. 8 at Summit of Bend.
