Photos by Todd Wilson The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team traveled to Morton/White Pass Friday for their only game last week and lost to a tough Timberwolves team, 85-71. The Mules are 4-3 overall. "I knew coming in that MWP plays hard," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "They are very athletic. They basically put five guards on the court at all times. They play fast and they play physical. On both ends of the floor, they kind of took it to us. We were kind of playing on our heels and could never r...

Napvine 8, Mule 6 April 8: Our bats were on fire all day, with everyone getting in the hit column. Unfortunately we left some runners on base, made some base running errors, combined with one or two bad decisions on defense, and it put us in a position where we were down by five runs going into the bottom of the final inning. And although we came up short in the end, we did score three runs in that last inning and put the potential winning run at the plate. Breyonna Montgomery pitched a complete game and struck out seven Tiger hitters, while...
