Othello basketball has seen better days

The wheels have come off the bus for the boys and girl’s basketball teams as both dropped games over the weekend. The boys are mired in a 5-game losing streak and have lost eight of their last nine games. The Huskies turned in a gallant effort Friday, but were turned back 87-80 by Wapato. The team suffered a 30-point blowout loss at the hands of the East Valley Red Devils Saturday.

The girls (2-11, 2-10) are having a worse time of things having dropped nine in a row and 10 of their last 11 games.

Both squads were in action Tuesday for a non-league tilt at Royal City, but the results were not available at press time.
