Photos by Todd Wilson The Wahkiakum Mule football team picked up its second win of the season last Friday, downing the Mossyrock Vikings 28-24.

The teams traded scores in the first quarter, with Mossyrock leading 16-14 after 12 minutes. Jacob Johnson hauled in a Brodie Avalon pass for a 49-yard Mule touchdown at 4:16, and Gabe Moon scored on a 40-ya...
