The Dalles High School varsity football team will be back on the field this week. North Wasco County School District 21 announced the team will play its scheduled game with Hermiston on Friday night at Sid White Field. The district cancelled last week’s scheduled game with Nyssa, citing safety concerns after a rash of injuries reduced the number of players on the team under 20. The Riverhawks’ freshman and sophomore team had continued its schedule, and school athletic director Mike Somnis had reiterated a decision made earlier to not bring up freshmen to help the varsity finish the season, as had been done in recent seasons. Friday’s game will start at 7 p.m. at Sid White Field.
