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.

Moses Lake Fire Chief Brett Bastian retires after 33 years
MOSES LAKE — A 33-year era ended as Moses Lake Fire Chief Brett Bastian retired Friday. His tenure as firefighter and then chief was celebrated at a small party at the Moses Lake Civic Center. “Chief’s first day of work was April 20, 1992,” said MLFD CARES Coordinator Heather Kok. “The population of Moses Lake at that time was about 12,000 people. Today we're at 25,000, roughly. The jurisdiction for the Moses Lake Fire Department was nine square miles. Today it is 23-ish square miles … They had 14 career firefighters, which is roughly the amount of firefighters that we have on an average day today. The number of apparatus that they had at the time was one engine, one wildland truck (and) a command vehicle that was shared ... Today we have five engines, two ladders, three wildland vehicles, two tenders and a handful of special technology vehicles. And a lot of that has been done in the last five years. So congratulations, Chief. That’s a huge win for our crew.”
