HOOD RIVER — The No. 21-ranked Hood River Valley High Eagles had hopes of getting an upset win last week to end a losing streak in OSAA Class 5A Northwest Oregon Conference softball, but league-leading Canby decided otherwise.
The Eagles (4-6 NWOC, 5-15 overall) played well in a May 6 home game against the league leading Cougars (10-0 NWOC, 15-6 overall) but lost 11-5 to the No. 8-ranked visitors at Westside Elementary School.
The Eagles continued to struggle in the tough NWOC — which includes four top-10 ranked teams. Playing three games in four days was a grueling schedule and HRV also lost 15-0 to the Cougars May 8 at Canby High School, extending their losing streak to four straight games.
The Eagles play three more games this week. The Eagles will meet the No. 7-ranked Wilsonville High Wildcats (9-1 NWOC, 15-6 overall) in their next game at home at 5 p.m. May 13, followed by a 5 p.m. road game May 15 against the Hillsboro High Spartans (5-7 NWOC, 8-13 overall).
The Eagles are in seventh place, one spot behind the Spartans in the nine-team NWOC standings with five games remaining. The Eagles will play the No. 19-ranked Spartans again in a May 19, 5 p.m. home game.
