The NCL-1 soccer champion Lady Eagles will start a new season this Saturday, Nov. 9 when open the North Coast Section Division-3 playoffs at Jack Allen Stadium.  Game time is set for 7 p.m.

That the sport of badminton is again being played in high school gyms around the area is due in large measure to the efforts of Scott Bischof. A former competitor and founder of the World Badminton Museum, he introduced the sport at several schools including Healdsburg.

Unbeaten Cloverdale faces stern test at St. Helena on Friday

When last we checked in with the boys soccer team, they had just begun their league season with a tie game against Piner, 1-1, on the Healdsburg field. The following Saturday,  Jan. 19, they headed up to Lake County to meet Kelseyville, and came home with a 5-0 win in their non-league column...

It proved to be the most exciting and suspenseful game of the season so far, the Healdsburg Greyhounds lost to the Peregrine Falcons of Archie Williams High in overtime on Saturday afternoon in San Anselmo, 43-42. 

While at the end of the Nov. 16 game the Hounds won handily, it was by no means a cakewalk. Petaluma’s Trojans did a good job of wrapping up the Greyhounds, stealing the ball and stymying Greyhound points—and sometimes scoring for the Trojans. The game got close a couple times, but in the end Healdsburg came out on top, 46-36.

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.

The harsh reality of the North Coast Section playoffs sets in when one team celebrates while the other goes home.

The saga of Healdsburg’s basketball seasons, boys and girls, continues to be played out, though hopes for a repeat league championship for the girls have been damaged by the dominance of Ukiah, a new addition to the NBL-Redwood division, which remains undefeated in league play.
