WARDEN – This Friday, Sage Hills Golf Course will be hosting the Annual Golf Classic, put together by the Warden Development Council. They will aim to fundraise for the Warden community. Registration is at 11 a.m. and the shotgun tee-off is at noon.
“I think the community of Warden really, really does appreciate it,” Pat Millard of the Warden Development Council said, “They're really happy to get the money that we give them to buy the turkeys and things for the needy families.”
With food supplies and money lacking, local organizations appreciate the help, she said.
In its eleventh year, the council hopes to continue supporting high school seniors through scholarships, assisting the local food bank and sponsoring their community days. Millard said the annual golf classic tends to raise around $10,000. Millard said the event helps with the purchase of flowers from Future Farmers of America which are planted in downtown flower boxes in Warden.
This year, the event will see 72 golfers hit the green. They will be organized into four teams, and they can compete for cash prizes. First place has a $600 cash prize, while second has $300 and third has a $200 award.
In addition to those, there will be raffle prizes that will help raise funds for the event. Some of the raffle prizes include Coeur D’Alene Resort packages, concert tickets, a television, and golfing tickets, according to Millard.
Millard said golfers will be treated to a steak dinner at the end of the day's event, and raffle prizes will be announced. The turnout for this event has proven more beneficial than smaller fundraising efforts, according to Millard. Last year, they were able to award $5,000 in scholarships.
Millard said Western Pacific Engineering is providing a hole-in-one sponsorship, which is the first time that it's been added to the event. She said this could help improve their fundraising for the event.
“I think this is going to be a great add to our golf tournament, and maybe more people will turn out each year,” she said.
According to Millard, they hope to continue building their success each year and making an impact on the Warden community.

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.
Huskies passing game difference maker in victory over Eagles
SEATTLE — The University of Washington Huskies (3-0) defended home field 48-16 against the Eastern Washington Eagles (1-3) Saturday in the final non-conference matchup of the season for both teams. “Thought we did some good things on offense today,” Huskies head coach Jedd Fisch said during the postgame press conference. “There was a couple times that I thought we had some opportunities that we didn’t execute (on), but I felt for the most part we played the type of offense I’d like us to play. Defensively, very disappointed in the penalties. That is not okay to have 100 yards in penalties and multiple drives were kept alive because of penalties. We're too talented on defense to let our emotions get the best of us.”
