By John Linker Every high school has a Homecoming, but not every high school holds a Homecoming Parade.  Last Friday afternoon, Healdsburg carried on its yearly tradition of holding one such parade. Four floats, one per class at the high school, were escorted by Healdsburg police...

By John Linker In front of a Homecoming crowd gathered for the Healdsburg Greyhounds’ first official league football game of the 2024-25 season, the varsity team fell 13-18 to the San Rafael Bulldogs last Friday night at Rec Park. The Hounds are coming off a series...

This one hurt. It could have been mistakes made, balls fumbled or penalties called, but in the end, the Vikings proved their strength and quickness throughout the rugged game. Coach Rosales put it bluntly, “It is very difficult to win against any team when we turn the ball over five times and those possessions all lead to scores.”...

“We knew we were the favorites to The Greyhounds were favored to win the match, but the girls didn’t let that go to their heads and they played clean, dominant volleyball three sets in a row,” Nuttall said. They hit season highs in both aces (32) and kills (28). Senior Sophia Turic alone served nine aces, and libero Melissa Casas Gatica wasn’t far behind with eight...

Leading the pack is junior Meher Dhiman, who “graduated” from the No. 2 slot to be the team’s No. 1 player this year, and also serves as team captain. She has had several successful matches so far this year in the team’s eight outings, which included a collective 7-0 sweep of Piner on Sept. 10...

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 last time the Hounds Varsity football team scored more than 50 points in a game was in 2016, another non-conference game against the Emery Spartans (62-0). Perhaps not since 1966 has there been such a performance by a Healdsburg quarterback as that by Nova Perrill last Friday...

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.
