Lady Mules split first district matches

A loss in the opening round of district play on Saturday meant a little more work for the Wahkiakum Mule volleyball team, who needed to win two games yesterday (Wednesday) to go to the state tournament.

The Lady Mules lost to Raymond in five sets in their first match on Saturday. They won the first two games, 26-24, and 25-23, but lost the next three 18-25, 21-25, 9-15.

In the afternoon, Wahkiakum faced Toledo in the second round, and won the loser out match in three sets.

Further details weren't available at deadline.

The team was scheduled to play Ocosta on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in a loser out match. The winner of that game played the winner of the Toutle Lake/Ilwaco game at 7 p.m. in another loser out match.

If the Lady Mules won both games on Wednesday, they are scheduled to play at 10 a.m. on Saturday at Raymond High School to determine their berth at state.
