COULEE CITY – Congratulations to the Almira-Coulee-Hartline Warriors on ending the 2025 spring season in third place at the state tournament. 

The Warriors had a solid foundation to build off of coming into this season and were working toward making another state tournament appearance following their second-place finish last season.  

ACH started the season with a 10-game win streak and would finish off the season with an overall record of 19-4 and a league record of 12-0 in the Northeast 1B, placing them as number one in the conference as they made their way into district play.

The team displayed dominance over their opponents throughout the season, winning 15 of their 19 games with a score differential of 10 runs or higher.  

One thing that could be seen following their victory over Naselle Saturday afternoon was the feeling of brotherhood that has been built on the team over the past few seasons. The players were visibly emotional as they had a moment together after the game to celebrate their victory among those whom they’ve grown to care about over the years. 

The graduating seniors were the most moved by their victory that day as they both ended their season and their high school baseball careers that afternoon. To say that they were dedicated to the sport over the years might be an understatement, as for many of these players, baseball has become a huge part of their lives. 

There is no doubt that there will be some big shoes to fill on the roster next year, but the excellent leadership shown by head coach Hunter Lee and the rest of the coaching staff will surely be capable of building up a young squad to be an elite contender once again.

MOSES LAKE — Despite seeing a smaller roster this year, the Moses Lake Christian Academy Lions volleyball team is looking to build off their success from last season. With strong returners, the Lions are on track to stay competitive. “We lost some people, but we’ll be able to fill in, so that’ll be nice. Not quite at the numbers that we normally have, but we’ll make it work,” said Lions Head Coach Dean Spurbeck. The Lions concluded their 2025 season with a 10-8 record after battling through a tough Central Washington B League. MLCA entered into the postseason district tournament where they entered as the fourth seed and fell to the fifth seeded Pateros in the second round.

Huskies bring in senior experience for the coming season

OTHELLO — The Othello Huskies girls soccer team is preparing for another tough season in the Central Washington Athletic Conference. This year the Huskies are returning with an advantage as they bring back their full roster from last season. “We’re looking good; we’re trending in the right direction,” said Huskies Head Coach Victor Quiroz. “We’re bringing everybody back that we had last year on our varsity team, so we’re super excited. That makes it a lot easier going into the season.” Last season, the Huskies completed the regular season 6-9-1, which earned them a spot for the district tournament. Othello was eliminated in the first round of districts after a tight game against Prosser that ended in a shootout with a final score of 2-1.
