BASIN SPORTS SCHEDULE: Oct. 5-12, 2026
MOSES LAKE — Competition looks to get a lot tougher as local athletes enter the second half of their seasons in the month of October. See where each basin team will be heading this week.
Mavericks dig deep to sweep Sunnyside
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks (4-3) dug deep against the Sunnyside Grizzlies as they earned a competitive 3-0 at home Thursday. “They were anxious for the win, and we executed not the best that we wanted, but a win is a win, and they found a way no matter what,” Head Coach Krystal Trammell-Walt said. The Mavs started strong in the first set, controlling the game for a 25-16 win. From there, the Grizzlies showed how much fight they have as they kept it close throughout the second and third sets, forcing the Mavericks to break away late 25-20 and 25-23 for the win.
Gonzalez, Huskies ground game lead rout of Jacks
OTHELLO — The Othello Huskies (3-2) defended home field Friday as they defeated the Quincy Jacks (0-5) 41-6, off a four-touchdown night by Cain Gonzalez. “It mostly just (allows) me to have more confidence in my (offensive) line,” Gonzalez said. “I have confidence, but just to see them perform, whether it's this team, the next team, it is refreshing. It's just refreshing to see that they're working on things, they're getting better, they're doing what they're supposed to do, and that's all I want.” The Huskies showed dominance early, with Gonzalez scoring all four of his touchdowns through the run in the first quarter alone. By halftime, Othello built a commanding 41-0 lead over Quincy. From there, the Huskies backups got some playing time as they started the second half. The Jacks capitalized off a special team miscue by Othello to score their lone touchdown in the third quarter.
