MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks took advantage of three Post Falls (Idaho) turnovers in the first five minutes of the game to build a 21-0 lead en route to a 69-20 win over the Vikings on Friday at Lions Field.  

    The Post Falls offense came back for a quick touchdown after Moses Lake built its lead, but while the Moses Lake defense gave up some offensive yards, they held Post Falls to two additional touchdowns and blocked an extra point. Petrah Mackenzie (24) stops a Post Falls runner.
