MARTIN GIBSONTHE GORGE — The Dalles held its final non-league tuneup for a Class 4A state volleyball playoff run at the 15-team Marshfield Tournament on Oct. 17.
The Riverhawks played three matches at the annual tourney, winning their first two — over Cottage Grove and Marshfield — and losing to 5A Ashland, 2-1.
The Dalles won two more Tri-Valley Conference matches this past week — 3-0 vs. Madras and 3-1 at Molalla — to improve to 8-0 in league play. The Dalles will clinch the TVC championship with a home win Oct. 20 (senior night) against second place Estacada.
Eagles top Parkrose
HRV split two matches this past week, losing at home to league leading Centennial and winning at Parkrose to run its record to 7-11 overall and 5-5 in the Northwest Oregon Conference. The Eagles have two matches left: Oct. 20 at Milwaukie and Oct. 22 at home (senior night) against St. Helens.
Centennial used scoring runs to build margins in the first and third sets, 25-11 and 25-13 wins. The middle set was close, but it was scoring by the visitors which enabled them to overcome an 18-13 HRV lead. Centennial scored seven points to take the lead for good, although Hood River fought off three set points before losing 25-22.
