Basin sports schedule, Sept. 15-22
MOSES LAKE — Basin sports are well underway, as many teams are already deep into their regular season slate. While others may only be getting started. See below where your favorite team is heading this week.
Knights come alive after halftime to beat Bulldogs
ROYAL CITY — After trailing at the half, the Royal Knights (2-0) roared to a 28-17 win over the Cashmere Bulldogs Friday in a 1A state championship game rematch. Like last season, the Bulldogs gave Royal a fight to the finish. "I think our defense played the run game better," Head Coach Wiley Allred said. "Our starting middle linebacker Brayan Miron went out early, and we had to make some adjustments, move some kids around because Brayan's dynamic on defense. Offensively, I settled down as far as not calling so many different sets, and we just ran fewer things really, and started to run the ball a little more."
Mavericks sweep season opener
MOSES LAKE — The defending 4A state champion Moses Lake Mavericks (2-0) open the softball season undefeated after sweeping the Sageview Lobos 8-3 and 24-6 in a doubleheader at home. While it wasn't perfect, Head Coach Mike Hofheins was pleased to see his team improve throughout the day. "You want to be perfect right out of the gate, and we've only had seven practices, so for us not to be perfectly crisp, I guess looking back, I can probably accept that," Hofheins said. "In the heat of the moment, you just want to be perfect all the time. From game one to game two, we kind of like I don't know shifted up a gear or however you want to say it, but we really took a step forward for sure."
