Pirates jump on Mules to win 55-30

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost 55-30 to the Adna Pirates last Thursday.

Tuesday’s game at home against Pe Ell was postponed until Wednesday due to weather.

Ryan Quigley led Mule scorers with 13 points. He also had four rebounds and one assist. Zach Brown added nine points, seven rebounds and one steal. Joey Moore scored four and had two rebounds and one assist. Hank Ferguson and Cody Terpsma tossed in two apiece. Ferguson had four rebounds, one assist and one steal and Terpsma pulled down three rebounds. James Anderson had two rebounds and one steal.

“We fell behind 17-3 in the first quarter and could not recover,” Coach Todd Souvenir said. “Adna did a good job defensively and limited our ability to get some good looks.”

According to Souvenir, teamwork evaporated and the boys began to play individual basketball. It hurt them.

“We’ll be working on that,” he said.
