The Hood River Valley Eagles will venture away from home to challenge the Pendleton Buckaroos at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They never let St. Helens get on the board and left with a 4-0 win on Tuesday. The victory continues a trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Lions: they've now won five in a row.
Pendleton hadn't beaten Walla Walla on the road since March 16, 2022 but that history sure didn't bother them on Tuesday. The Buckaroos walked away with a 15-11 win over the Blue Devils.
Hood River Valley got the 'W' when the teams last played back in April of 2025 against Pendleton by a conclusive 6-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
