Mavs make their mark at Iolani Invitational
MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Mavericks are back from their trip to Hawaii for the 2026 Iolani Cross Country Invitational, which concluded over the weekend. The Mavs shined in their respective competitions that featured some of the top programs from Hawaii and the mainland, head coach Larry Dagnon said. "We're super appreciative of the fact that the school district continually lets us chase these bigger races," he said. "These big races are what is helping create dreams for a lot of kids. (Jonathan Sandoval) shared with me that he couldn't believe he actually got to run (in Hawaii) because when I started talking to him as an eighth grader when I told him Hawaii was something that he could probably achieve and he was doubtful that he would ever make it there."

South Dakota pulls away despite late push from Eagles offense
CHENEY — The Eastern Washington Eagles (1-2) came up short on the road against the University of South Dakota Coyotes 41-23 Saturday. Despite the loss, Head Coach Aaron Best thought his team played well, just struggled to capitalize on opportunities. "I think the overarching thought coming out of this is (that) we did not capitalize on the success we had," Best said in a statement by EWU Athletics. "We got them in third-down momentum again in the second quarter. A return went against us and then they earned the opportunity to score from deep. We clawed back into the game and then we capitalized on a surprise onside kick; but the next play we threw a tip-pick."
