The Wahkiakum Mules lost to Morton White Pass in a heartbreaker last Thursday, 50-60.

"I thought we played great on the defensive end for four quarters and really battled against a much bigger team," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "It was the first game this year that we were able to put four quarters together on the offensive end behind a big night from Hank (Ferguson) to keep us close. We cut the lead to four with a little under four minutes to go but they gave the ball to Poquette and we didn't have an answer for him down the stretch."

"Overall I was really excited after that game," Souvenir said. "I felt like the boys took a big step in their confidence in themselves and their teammates on both ends of the floor."
