Eagles will visit St. Vincent in opener on Saturday

Healdsburg High School students had the week off for spring break, and while that slowed down the sports calendar for the time being, things should pick up next week, as games stack up two and three times a week into May.

Those nostalgic sunset games will happen often during the next couple of months for the Greyhounds before the Prune Packers take over Rec Park in June. Until then, baseball fans know they can always find a good game from Healdsburg High’s Greyhounds, both varsity and JV, who play at Rec Park into May.

Four Cloverdale High School students were named among the top scholar-athletes in Sonoma County last week in a banquet held at the Friedman’s Center in Santa Rosa.

“Healdsburg Varsity Boys is in a great position to qualify as a team for the CIF State Championship this year, especially after beating Convent & Stuart Hall at the Artichoke Invitational,” said coach Kate Guthrie, herself a former all-American.

Great weather and outstanding performances were the rule on Saturday, Apr. 5 as the Running Eagles traveled to Sebastopol for the annual Chip Castleberry Invitational Track Meet hosted by Analy.  

“We brought the intent and spirit of our full team of 42 athletes to the Viking Classic, although only 17 were able to compete due to illness and family commitments over the holiday weekend,” said coach Kate Guthrie. “Those who stepped on the track or into the field did so with purpose, representing the work ethic and culture we’ve built this season.”

The Lady Eagles have set the tone for what promises to be a very exciting softball campaign, recording another pair of wins to push their record to 3-0.

Healdsburg's boys basketball team remains without a win in league play this year, 0-4, and only three wins on the season against 15 losses, while the Rio Vista boys team is 6-7 overall, 1-4 in the league.
