Gridiron Roundup – week eight
MOSES LAKE — Week eight of the Basin high school football season has come and gone and in the blink of an eye it's the final week of the regular season for many teams. See below how your favorite team fared last week ahead of the final week of the regular season.
Lee’s 265-yard night powers Ephrata past Ellensburg
EPHRATA — The Ephrata Tigers (4-4) earned a much-needed win Friday, as they stormed their way to a 39-12 win over the Ellensburg Bulldogs. Paired with a dominant defensive outing, the Tiger victory was spearheaded by Chance Lee's 265-rushing yard performance. "(It's) a testament to all of the work that he's put in (during) the offseason to get to where he's at," Head Coach Patrick Mitchell said. "And also a testament to our offensive line, who we challenged at the beginning of the week to get back to a little bit more of who we were. It had been a couple of games since we'd broken that 200-yard rushing plateau, which we set as our standard around here, and that was big on them. I thought the O-line blocked really well."
Quincy girls soccer season ends in narrow district defeat
QUINCY — The Quincy Jacks (11-6) concluded their season Saturday in a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Grandview Greyhounds in the opening round of the Central Washington Athletic Conference district tournament. What seemed to hamper them the most was urgency, Head Coach Javier Diaz said. "The same thing we had these last few games," he said. "Not starting with urgency, letting ourselves be underdogs because of getting scored on a couple times, and just we fought back. But again, ran out of time. Urgency was our biggest enemy. We didn't play with urgency at the beginning, and then we did towards the end, got our goal, and then just ran out of time."
