The varsity baseball Eagles logged their first win of the spring campaign on March 5, notching an 8-4 win over visiting Healdsburg.  

The Healdsburg High girls basketball team dominated Elsie Allen 54-25 in their 2024 North Coast Redwood League opener, led by Allie Espinoza's 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 steals.

On June 27, Cloverdale Arts Alliance board president, Nancy Harris Dalwin, presented the Cloverdale Unified School District Board of Directors with a check for $2,500.

The varsity football Eagles notched their most important road win of the fall campaign on Nov. 1, pulling out a wild, 42-27 victory over Fort Bragg.

This year locals are proud to find both boys and girls soccer teams in the NCS playoff, both in Division 4 in line with their size. And the girls basketball team is in the playoffs as well, in the tougher Division 2. (Unfortunately, all three teams lost on Wednesday night, so Healdsburg High's winter sports season is officially over.)

The Cloverdale Eagles were crowned champions of the NCL-1 last week, closing out the league campaign with convincing wins over St. Helena and Clear Lake to secure their first basketball title in five years.

With just three regular-season matches remaining, the team’s focus is beginning to shift toward the NCS Championship at Baywood Country Club in Arcata on Oct. 27, where they’ll look to finish their remarkable season in style.

Senior Ruby Leffew had her best game of the year, scoring 21 points to lead the Healdsburg Greyhounds to their third consecutive NBL-Redwood championship tournament trophy.

The much-anticipated home opener did not go as scripted for the Eagles on Friday, as visiting Kelseyville spoiled the victory party in a 21- 14 setback.

The irregular thwack-thwop-pop of tennis rises up from the high school courts every afternoon of the week, and often on weekends, as the student-athletes of Healdsburg High School hone their serves, returns, backspins and lobs. It seems worth the while: The school’s boys tennis team is definitely competitive this year.
