The Wahkiakum Mules picked up their fourth win of the season last Wednesday night with a 66-52 win on the road against KM rival Naselle.

The victory pushed the Mules a game over .500 for the season and completed the season sweep over the Comets.

Despite the team's near season-high 66 points, it was the team defense that Coach Bill Olsen praised after the game, remarking that, “The whole team tonight, at times, played some of the best ‘D’ of the year. It was also nice to see the team’s confidence level was still high following the Adna game.”

On the offensive side of the ball, Wyatt Parker led the Mules with19 points and nine rebounds, both personal season highs. Coach Olsen was exceptionally pleased with Parker’s performance after the game, referring to it as a “breakout game (for him).”

Olsen was also very happy with Brett Chaput’s double-double as he ripped down 10 boards to go with his 10 points. Joel Nicolazzi had a nice game as well with a season-high 12 points while handing out four assists and recording three steals. Tossing in 10 points of his own and dishing out five assists was Mules point guard John Chambers. Just missing double-digits himself was Lars Blix who contributed nicely to the scoring with nine points.

The Mules made 28 of 49 shots, 57 percent, and eight of 12 free throws, 67 percent.

Leonel Mendoza led the Comets with 19 points and five rebounds while Rob and Ollie Baker contributed with 10 and 12 points respectively. Chase Chapman was the other offensive threat for the Comets as he chipped in with 10 points of his own.

The Comets made 17 of 59 shots, 29 percent, and nine of 15 free throws, 60 percent.

The Mules won the junior varsity game 59-47.

Steven Doumit had a huge game with 26 points and nine steals as the Mules’ JV completed its own sweep of the Comets. Eli McElroy also had a big game as he tossed in 14 points and pulled down 11 boards.
