"Overall I thought we did a super good job," Coach Rob Garrett said. "It was fun to watch, they did a lot of the things we've been working on. One thing we've been working on is our angles defensively, giving yourself an angle to go for a slow or weaker pass. I thought they did a great job of that. Paige (Mace) really pressured the...
The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost last Wednesday but ended the week with a win. The season started on Friday with the 54-46 win against Winlock, as far as Coach Todd Souvenir is concerned. "I told the guys all year, whether we were 0-13 or 13-0, it didn't matter, the beginning of our season started that day," he said. "It was our most important game of the season, regardless of what we had done to that point. Every game from that point on is the most important game of the season....

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost two games this week. They traveled to Napavine on Saturday and lost 62-57. "We came out flat on offense and we were slow on defense," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "If we are going to have success, we need to play defense and rebound every night. Our defense can kick start our offense on nights we are struggling. We dug a hole in the first half giving up too many easy buckets and second chance points. I was pleased with the effort on both ends of the flo...

Last Wednesday, the Lady Mules traveled to Mossyrock and won 69-20. "Overall, it was a great game," Coach Rob Garrett said. "Charlie (Ashe) got us going early with eight of our first 10 points.

Things are looking up for the Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team, who followed a tough loss with two wins this week. Last Thursday at home, the Mules played catch up with Morton/White Pass and watched it all fall apart when the Timberwolves Kaleb Rashoff hit a last second shot from three point range to win the game.

They worked super hard and really attacked the...
