Mavs prepare for postseason
MOSES LAKE – With a 130-47 win over West Valley (Yakima) and a 151-22 win over Sunnyside in a duals meet on Thursday, Moses Lake boys swim and dive will look to prepare for postseason meets and finish strong down the stretch. The Mavericks locked up a Big 9 title with a win over Eastmont on Tuesday, winning 115-63 over the Wildcats. “The guys are so proud of themselves, and it’s pretty amazing as far as what they’re doing,” Moses Lake Head Coach Jason Hart said. While winning the league is an accomplishment in and of itself, Hart said the Mavs still have more to strive for this season. “We have a goal board, and we knocked that one off,” Hart said. “The next one that we’re hoping to attain is to go and win districts.” Moses Lake finished the regular season with an undefeated record in league meets, including an exciting 96-90 win over Wenatchee on Jan. 12. “We carry (momentum) into every single practice,” Hart said. “The great thing about this group is they have so much energy, they are hungry and they want to get better. You can see in the work they put in. The healthy competition exists in practice.”
