SOAP LAKE — On Saturday, Aug. 16, the Alpha Omega chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha will be holding a charity golf tournament at Lakeview Golf and Country Club. ESA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and money for local charities and families in need, event organizer Abby Smith said.
“People are always very gracious and thankful, and that's why we do what we do, is for that response ... we want people to come out and have fun. We want them to play and we really encourage the fact that you don't need to be a good golfer to play in our tournament. It's a fun, charitable event,” she said.
The tournament will start at 10 a.m. Saturday with a shotgun tee-off. Smith said they decided to reformat the tournament this year. It will be a four person scramble, which is four person teams.
Throughout the day, golfers will have the chance to participate in optional side games like a hole-in-one putting contest, mulligans, a 150 yard tee-off for deuce at Par Five and a long drive. Golfers will have chance to win prizes in a raffle, as well. Smith said prizes include a pizza oven, golf cart heater, a range finder and several more.
All proceeds from the golf tournament will toward several charities and community organizations. Smith mentioned Kids Hope of Moses Lake, Soap Lake Food Bank, Soap Lake Senior Center and families in need.
Anyone interested in registering for the tournament can in person or online. For online, email [email protected] with team information and Golf Entry as the subject line. For in-person registration, Smith said she would take new golfers up to the day of the tournament.

Mavericks cross country sweeps Wenatchee Invite
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks swept the competition at the 29th annual Wenatchee Cross Country Invitational at Walla Walla Point Park on Saturday. Both the varsity and junior varsity squads for the boys and girls teams earned first place in their respective 5k races. “(Wenatchee) puts on a great invite every year, and they had some really good teams, their team included, and Eastmont was present, and then they brought in some schools that are just very high quality,” Head Coach Larry Dagnon said. “But when the time came to run, our kids, (for) one they know that course very well, and two, they performed exceptionally. From our first kid to our last kid, they put their best foot forward. They came to work, and the results showed a full team performance.”
Ross, Char sisters power Mavs past Vikings
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks (1-5) earned a much-needed win Tuesday as they defeated the Selah Vikings 2-0 at Lions Field. For Head Coach Alysha Overland, this moment wasn’t a matter of if, but when. “We definitely needed it; we were due for one,” Overland said. “We've been putting in a lot of hard work, even in the games we've been putting in hard work. Just haven't gotten the results. This one feels good. Feels like we're hopefully turning the corner now and putting the work that we're putting into practice into the game.” The Mavericks got on the board early, finding the back of the net within the first five minutes of the game. From there, they kept up the pressure in the attack, missing a couple shots on goal while preventing Selah from creating pressure of their own.
