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.

Valentine’s Day cards flood Brookdale Hearthstone with love
MOSES LAKE — Residents at Brookdale Hearthstone Assisted Living in Moses Lake got Valentine’s Day greetings from across the country last month. “I believe that the only states we have not received (cards from) yet are Vermont and Maine,” Lifestyle Director Imelda Broyles said Feb. 24. “We keep receiving new cards every single day. They have not stopped. My residents are in awe with every single one of the cards that we’ve been receiving.” The Hearts Across America project started as a way for children in school classrooms to exchange Valentine’s Day cards with classes in other states or even countries, but the idea has expanded to senior living facilities, according to the project’s social media.
