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.

Paige Richardson rises to first year challenges
MOSES LAKE — When former Moses Lake Maverick Paige Richardson first arrived at Walla Walla Community College, she did not anticipate getting to play as much softball as she did in her freshman season, she said. “I didn't know what to expect just because it's a whole different world once you step into college softball compared to high school softball,” Richardson said. “I was used to playing, pitching a lot for the Mavericks. My coach pretty much depended on two of us pitchers, and it just worked out that way, and we worked really well as a pair, and we were able to back each other up in certain scenarios, so I wasn't expecting it, but I'm glad it worked out the way it did.”
MLCA athletics enters new era under Todd Gregory
MOSES LAKE — Todd Gregory was named the new Athletic Director at Moses Lake Christian Academy earlier this summer. As he heads into his first year in the role, things are already expected to look different this school year. For instance, the Lions will not have a football team this season. “We did not renew our contract with Covenant (Christian School), so we lost some athletes this year,” Gregory said. “I think in the long run we'll end up getting some of those families that want to do athletics but stay in the Christian school atmosphere. I'm hoping that happens and we're able to get football going again.”
