The schedule makers (the school’s athletic directors) got things right when they pitted the Redsides against Joseph and the Rangers against Adrian/Jordan Valley on the final weekend for most of the six-man and eight-man programs. Each team is unbeaten. South Wasco improved to 4-0 last week with a 40-24 six-man win over Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler. The Redsides play Friday at 3 p.m. against unbeaten Joseph (4-0), a 46-24 winner over Echo last week. Dufur plays its final contest Saturday 3 at noon vs. the defend- ing 1A champion Adrian/Jordan Valley Antelopes (4-0). Sherman County had its game last week against Harper Charter canceled; the Huskies (2-1) conclude their four-game spring season with a 7 p.m. home game Thursday vs. Mitchell/Spray/Wheeler in Moro. Dufur played its second game in five days early last week, but the Rangers showed that short prepa- ration time wasn’t a problem as they won 48-36 over Powder Valley on March 23. The rare Tuesday contest showcased the undefeated Rangers’ impressive ground game which accounted for 440 yards and proved too much for the 3-1 Badgers to handle. “Powder Valley is a good team; they won a couple of games in the playoffs last year (2019) and they had lots of kids coming back from that team,” Dufur Coach Jack Henderson said. “Our kids stayed after it and they continued working hard the entire game.” Henderson said Kaleb Pence (16 carries, 100 yards rushing) and Cooper Bales (15 carries, 248 yards rushing) ran the ball “really, really well, thanks to the good blocking of our offensive line and that was really the difference in the game.” Overall 4-0 4-0 1-2 Overall 5-3 6-1 5-1 3-5 2-1 3-3 1-4 0-4 0-6 Sarah Davies led Hood River Valley and Lucy Booth led The Dalles at the Alpine Skiing 2021 Oregon High School State Championships earlier this month at Mt. Hood Skibowl. Davies was third overall in the girls combined (slalom and giant slalom) and Booth was 17th. Hood River Valley finished seventh in the combined (boys and girls) team competition and The Dalles was 10th. Portland’s Central Catholic won the combined meet; Portland’s Oregon Episcopal School was the girls champion; and Central Catholic took the boys’ top trophy. Davies was third overall in girls giant slalom. Her first giant slalom run was 42.83 seconds, and her sec- ond 41.66 - the second-best time overall. Individual winner Anne Hendrickson of OES had giant slalom runs of 42.29 and 40.98. Booth was 19th in giant slalom, 5.52 seconds behind the winner, with consistent runs of 44.40 and 44.39. Other Gorge finish- ers in girls giant slalom: Hannah Biehn, TD, 44th; Marisa Rigert, HRV, 45th; Maya Corcoran, HRV, 62nd; Ella Smith, TD, 73rd; Ashley Quisenberry, TD, 86th; and Delia Skakel, HRV, 91st.

Mike Weber photo/file Dufur took an initial 8-0 lead with 11:17 remaining in the first quarter when Bales scored on an 86-yard touchdown run and threw a two-point conversion pass to senior receiver Ben Schanno (three receptions, 65 yards). Powder Valley tied the back-and-forth game later in the period, but Dufur outscored the Badgers 14-6 in the second to build a 22-14 halftime lead. The Badgers regained the momentum in the third quarter by outscoring the Rangers 16-8 to knot the game, 30-30. “It was a good back-and-forth game, both teams competed hard, and we created some scoring op- portunities in the fourth quarter to help us get on top,” said Henderson. “Defensively, we really flew around the field and Jacob Peters had three interceptions. We had a fumble recovery and we really played well defensively … that was a key to our success. We kept playing hard and making things happen, because Powder Valley kept coming back and making some plays.” Dufur regained the momen- tum early in the fourth. A 10-play, 65-yard drive, capped by a 53-yard Bales TD run put the Rangers ahead 36-30 with 11:59 left in the game. The Rangers extended their advantage late in the quarter when they scored 12 points in a span of 10 seconds. Bales scored on a two-yard run, making it 42-30 with 2:08 left. On the ensuing Dufur kickoff, Powder Valley fumbled, and the Rangers recovered. Pence scrambled free for a 39-yard TD run, putting Dufur up 48-30 with 1:58 on the clock. Powder Valley scored a TD near the end of the contest for the final 12-point margin. “We finally got ahead in the fourth quarter and we really needed the 440 rushing yards to be successful,” said Henderson. “It was nice that our kids were able to get a few more days off during spring break.” Henderson said the Rangers will be tested this weekend. “They (Adrian) return quite a few of the kids that helped lead them to the championship in 2019. We’ll have to play really well, but it should be a great football game. It will be good test for our kids to end the season and we’re looking forward to hope- fully getting another win and have an undefeated spring season.” Adrian improved to 4-0 with a 68-8 win a week ago against Imbler. The Antelopes are scheduled to play at Powder Valley on April 9.` Davies, Booth lead local alpine skiers 1A – District 4 (6-man) 2021 Football (As of March 28) School League South Wasco 4-0 Joseph 3-0 Dayville/Mon. 1-0 Sherman 1-1 2-1 Mitchell 1-2 1-2 Harper 0-1 Prairie City 0-2 Echo 0-4 1A – Big Sky 2021 Volleyball (As of March 28) School Dufur Echo Condon South Wasco Lyle/Wishram Sherman 3-3 Ione/Arlington Trout Lake Mitchell 1-4 Glenwood Bickleton Weekend showdowns – three games in three days - feature 1A football unbeatens Melanie Chapman Licensed Denturist Chris R.

Can I recycle my plastic shopping QA bags in the blue bin? Dan, Parkdale A. Dan, Great question. Please don’t put plastic bags in your recycling. Bags cause major problems with machinery at the recycling facility in Portland. Good news though- Return plastic bags and film packaging (if clean and dry) to your supermarket. That includes bags that cover produce, bread, paper towels, drycleaning, and case wraps. questions to: HOOD RIVER | THE DALLES | WHITE SALMON Columbia Gorge News (541)-506-2636 www.tricountyrecycle.com
