Ephrata 7, East Valley 6
The Ephrata Tigers may have played a full game against East Valley Friday, but the third quarter was what really counted. East Valley scored a touchdown on a 13-yard pass but failed to make a two-point conversion. Ephrata’s Travis Hendrick countered with a two-yard run to the end zone. Garet Hagy kicked the extra point, giving the Tigers a one-point lead that lasted until the final buzzer.
Hendrick led the team in rushing yards with 52, followed by Hudson Sager with 44. The only Tiger to show up on the scoreboard with passing yardage was Cole Hertz, who racked up 124.
Royal 70, Wahluke 12
The Royal Knights held their rival Wahluke Warriors scoreless until the third quarter, when Andrew Yorgesen crossed the goal line on a two-yard run. Yorgesen scored again in the fourth with an eight-yard run. Nevertheless, the 70 points Royal racked up during that time left Wahluke at 1-4, compared to Royal’s undefeated 13-0.

New owners celebrate first anniversary at Basin RV
MOSES LAKE — Basin RV has been under new ownership for a year now, and the owners are getting more involved in the community, sponsoring the Brett Reese Memorial Car Show, the Sand Scorpions Bounty Hole, the Cowboy Breakfast and more. “We’ve got five kids ourselves,” said owner RJ McFadden. “They all go to school here in town. So camping in our community is kind of our thing, spreading the dollars here.”
Mulligan’s at the Pointe under new management
MOSES LAKE — Out on the very western edge Moses Lake, away from the downtown core and the shopping centers, there’s a restaurant that many local people still haven’t experienced. “This place really is a little hidden gem,” said Megan Costello, food and beverage manager for Mulligan’s. “(We have) a beautiful view, a huge outdoor seating area, a 75-inch TV for sporting events.”
Home inventory up, sales slow but still steady in the Basin
MOSES LAKE — There’s a lot of activity going on in the real estate compared to a year ago, according to data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, which tracks real estate trends in 26 Washington counties. According to the NWMLS, Grant and Adams counties had higher increases in active listings and closed sales in June 2025 over June 2024 than the rest of the state. But the activity on the ground only partly bears that out, said Brian Gentry, principal managing broker for Re/Max in Othello. “Over last year, yes,” Gentry said. “Over three years ago, no. There’s a lot more inventory right now. Where we would typically on any given day see in Othello 11 or 12 things on the market, we’re in about the 35 range right now. Some of those are new construction, so they’re presales, but there’s a lot of people putting their homes on the market.”
