Three losses last week took the Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team out of their final bid for post season play this year. Scores and stats are informative and interesting, but numbers aren't always an adequate way to show how much a team or its individuals have grown. Something shifted after the Christmas break and though numbers fail to show it, the boys started to fight and in those moments, they began to shine. Last Wednesday, the team traveled to Morton/White Pass and took a big hit,...

The Mules eventually lost 86-58. “We continue to get hurt on the boards on both ends,” Coach Todd Souvenir said. “It resulted in too many second chance points for Adna. Joey (Moore) had a good game on both ends, and hopefully will continue to be a threat on the offensive end in the second half of the season.” Moore led the team with 20...
Despite the tough season and two more losses this week at the hands of Toledo and Toutle Lake, there have been moments of promise for the Wahkiakum Mule boys basketball team. They've got Brandon Budd's hot shooting, Zach Brown's work inside (the freshman has a hook shot) or Joey Moore's fire and the wings on Ryan Quigley's feet. He's proven he can score too. On Tuesday, Hank Ferguson played his heart out on both ends of the court, worrying his opponent with constant in-your-face defense or...
