The Dalles boys win three in a row

THE DALLES — The No. 3-ranked Dalles High Riverhawks (3-2) extended their OSAA Class 4A boys basketball win streak to three straight after getting two nonleague road wins last week.

The Riverhawks, led by Oliver Stevens’ school record 56 points, recorded a season-high point total in a 102-56 win over the Class 3A Corbett High Cardinals (1-3) Dec. 9 at Corbett High School. Stevens shot 82 percent (14-for-17) from the field; he sank seven 3-point field goals, and he shot 63 percent (7-for-11) from the free-throw line.
