The Toutle Lake Ducks looked like state tournament material as they handed the Wahkiakum Lady Mules a 58-16 Central League loss on Monday.

The Mules played their best play in the second quarter, scoring 12 points as the Duck coaches inserted reserves. The Ducks turned up the intensity in the second half and controlled the play. For the Mules, Brianne Helms, Ellee Crouse and Blai...
It was a tough week for Wahkiakum Mule players, coaches, and fans alike as the team dropped two road games and one at home, pushing their season-high losing streak to five games.

Wyatt Parker was the lone Mule in double-figures with 16 points to go along with...

Remember when the water line to Puget Island froze and broke? I bet everyone on Puget Island does! Let's hope we don't get that kind of weather again, as it was registering zero degrees in West Valley that day...
