Mavs fall in competitive matchup to Eastmont
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake High School Mavericks (4-6) hosted the Eastmont Wildcats (3-6) Thursday evening for a matchup, but Eastmont gained the upper hand to win 3-1 over the Mavericks. Mavs Head Coach Krystal Trammell-Walt said this game, along with their past few matches, has been a great learning experience for the team. “We’re getting there,” said Trammell-Walt. “A lot of our varsity did not have a lot of playing time at this level. They’re doing really well because we’re seeing movement along the net with our middles, good choices, our setting, our defense, we’re running the two liberos, everyone’s contributing.” The first set was competitive between the two teams from the very start. Eastmont took a slight lead over MLHS early, but the Mavs quickly closed the gap and took the lead by two.
