Boardman’s Week in Sports: Local Teams Hit the Field and Diamond

As spring settles over the Columbia River, the sports calendar in Boardman and across Morrow County is heating up. This week promises a full slate of action for local athletes and fans eager to cheer on their hometown teams.

On the diamond, the Riverside Pirates baseball and softball squads are set for crucial league matchups. Following strong performances in non-conference play, both teams look to carry that momentum into games that will shape the Eastern Oregon League standings. Meanwhile, young athletes across the district are lacing up their cleats for youth soccer and Little League practices, with opening ceremonies just around the corner.

Track and field season is also in full stride, with Boardman High School athletes preparing for upcoming invites. Expect to see local competitors aiming for personal bests in sprints, distance events, and field competitions as they gear up for the championship season later this spring.

For those following broader regional sports, the week offers a bridge before professional seasons fully ramp up. While Portland Trail Blazers basketball winds down, anticipation builds for the upcoming summer seasons of local amateur softball leagues and fishing tournaments on the Columbia, a perennial favorite pastime for Boardman residents.

From the school fields to the riverbank, it’s a great week to get out and support the hard work and dedication of Boardman’s athletes. Check local schedules for exact game times and locations.
