Senior Elliot Haney was playing in his last District Championship but it wasn't the same caliber competitors he played against last year where he finished third with a 36-hole score of 174. The addition of Ilwaco and Life Christian high schools has strengthened the district to the point of where this season the cut of top eight going to state was 172, quite a difference.

After a three hour drive to Ocean Shores on Monday, the weather got ugly just as we got out of the car. Intermittent rain and a 25 mph wind in our face for the first three holes seemed to affect everyone except Elliot Haney of Wahkiakum and Taylor Schisler of Ilwaco. They were the only two that kept their golf balls on the course and shared the lead by three strokes starting the 4th hole which also was dead into the wind. That's where a series of bad breaks ruined the Mule senior's round. A tree branch caught his drive, leaving a bad lie inches...

No digging will be allowed after noon on any beach through Saturday. However, WDFW is extending the dig on Sunday, May 10, to 1 p.m. "We're giving diggers an extra hour to wrap things up on Sunday due to the late low tide that day," said Dan Ayres,...
