Cloverdale teams to host St. Helena this Friday, April 15

With the surprise addition of 10 new freshmen runners, the Healdsburg Hounds hope to boost their chances to make league cross country champs. And although that might depend on the good health of their veteran runners, one can’t deny the fresh energy these freshmen bring to the team.

Cloverdale High School’s softball and baseball teams are coming off a perfect stretch on the league diamond, with both logging two wins last week.

All-League selections for North Bay – Redwood division have been announced, and other divisions as well. The Healdsburg High winter sports teams can be proud of their showing in this post-season list, selected by the coaches of the league teams themselves.

Early Saturday morning at Spring Lake Regional Park In Santa Rosa, 23 schools from all over the North Bay, including Healdsburg high, descended into the misty valley of the Trione-Annadel hills to run the 37th annual Viking Invitational.

The All League teams for the North Bay League (Redwood) have been announced for most fall sports. The named players in football will be revealed following the last playoff games this week, on Dec. 1

As is often the case, track and field is among the first spring sports to get underway. The big event opening the season was the Big Cat Invitational, held at Santa Rosa High on Saturday, March 1. Last weekend came the Gaucho Relays, at Casa Grade High. This weekend it's the Field Event Jamboree in Santa Rosa.

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.

Boys log two wins; ladies drop a pair
