The Wahkiakum Mule boys basketball team put up a valiant fight to extend their season in district play last Friday, but Napavine was just too much and won the loser out game 57-51. “It was a tough loss for the guys,” Coach Todd Souvenir said. “We really worked hard and followed the game plan. On the defensive end we just couldn’t control the glass and limit them to one shot which ended up costing us.” The Mules trailed by six at the half, but pulled even with the Tigers in the third. “In the f...

“The best laid plans of mice and men” can be upset by winter weather. It is certainly causing trouble for the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association District 4 2B and 1B basketball tournaments. Every day there has been another postponement, due to weather. The Wahkiakum Mules girls basketball team’s first district game was scheduled for Saturday, February 9, but as of Tuesday night, they still hadn’t played. It was the same for both of the Naselle teams, boys and girls. Fingers...

There has been an obvious downside to the bad weather, but it also created an opportunity for several Wahkiakum Mule wrestlers when regional tournaments were canceled. Five Mules will join wrestlers from nearly 300 teams around the state to compete in a 32-person Mat Classic bracket at the Tacoma Dome this weekend. Eighth grader Kaiden Ray, at 126 pounds, will face Tristen Wood, an eighth grader from Almira-Coulee-Hartline in his first round. The winner will take on 10th grader Cody Field of...
Last week, a fight broke out in the second quarter of a game that would decide seventh place for the Pacific League.

And on Tuesday, the Wahkiakum Mules boys beat South Bend 65-49 at home in the first round of the district tournament. "Luke (Brown) carried us in...

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team won three games this week and secured sixth place in the Central 2B league. The Mules hosted Onalaska last Wednesday and won, 62-52.

College students enrolled in an institution of higher education in Washington state could receive compensation for their athletic services, should House Bill 1084 become law. The proposed bill is sponsored by Reps. Drew Stokesbary, R-Auburn and Jesse Young, R-Gig Harbor. “It has been famously remarked that states are laboratories of democracy,” said Stokesbary at a public hearing on Jan. 23. The Republican legislator believes HB 1084 would put the infamous quote to use. According to the bill, students could reserve the right to hire agents to...

"Overall I thought we did a super good job," Coach Rob Garrett said. "It was fun to watch, they did a lot of the things we've been working on. One thing we've been working on is our angles defensively, giving yourself an angle to go for a slow or weaker pass. I thought they did a great job of that. Paige (Mace) really pressured the...
The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost last Wednesday but ended the week with a win. The season started on Friday with the 54-46 win against Winlock, as far as Coach Todd Souvenir is concerned.

The Wahkiakum Mules boys basketball team lost two games this week. They traveled to Napavine on Saturday and lost 62-57. "We came out flat on offense and we were slow on defense," Coach Todd Souvenir said. "If we are going to have success, we need to play defense and rebound every night. Our defense can kick start our offense on nights we are struggling. We dug a hole in the first half giving up too many easy buckets and second chance points. I was pleased with the effort on both ends of the flo...

At a football award ceremony earlier this month, Wahkiakum High School senior Evan Quigley became the sixth athlete in school history to be awarded the Iron Mule. The award is given to players who never miss a football practice or game in the course of their four year high school career. “The Iron Mule is an outstanding achievement considering everything it takes to accomplish,” Coach Eric Hansen said.
