MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake Athletics announced Friday that Kyler Haneberg will be the new head coach of the Mavericks football program this fall – pending school board approval, according to a press release.
This announcement comes just a few months after the winningest season (11-1) in program history under former Head Coach Brett Jay.
Haneberg has served as an assistant coach for the last seven years, working as a wide receivers coach and most recently an offensive coordinator, too. Haneberg is a former player for the Mavericks program, then known as the Chiefs.
He now takes over as the head coach where he will look to build off last season’s successes. According to Moses Lake Athletics, Haneberg intends to build young men into leaders of the community through the football program.
Stay tuned for the Tuesday edition of the Columbia Basin Herald for a full story on Haneberg’s hiring.

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.
