Maverick girls wrestling locks up league title

MOSES LAKE – The Mavericks remained undefeated in dual meets with a 42-30 win over Davis on Thursday night, locking up a Big 9 title in the process. “The energy was everywhere,” Moses Lake Head Coach David Peralez said. “We had built this one up and circled it on our calendar for a long time. It was their senior night, so that added even more elevation of excitement for both teams.” The dual got started with Moses Lake’s Katelyn Rodriguez pinning her opponent, the first of seven Mavericks to pin their Pirate opponents. Moses Lake’s Jhaile De Guzman, Ashley Naranjo, Reese Prescott, Bianca Johnson, Lakailey Rodriguez and Kathryn Pugh all recorded pins. “Not only do we have to win these matches, but we have to dominate them to the point where we need pin points because we knew we couldn’t just squeak by winning the division since we don’t have a full roster,” Peralez said. Teammates on both sides of the mat cheered on each other during matches to show their support, adding to the competitive atmosphere. “I challenge the wrestlers every single time, and it seems like they always rise to the occasion,” Peralez said. “It was really a lot of fun. Just so much energy, lots of yelling from both sides in a positive manner and rooting for the wrestlers that represented each school. It was very, very fun and passionately intense.”

Moses Lake defeats Eisenhower

MOSES LAKE - The Chiefs came out in their second game with an energy and intensity that head coach Todd Griffith hopes will carry this years team into the playoffs. The Eisenhower Wildcat's game plan was clear from the first whistle; to prevent Moses Lake from getting to the outside and creating big run plays outside of the tackles. The Chiefs relying on speed and their run game has been successful when they are able to break big gains on the outside and set up their passing attack. The Chiefs expected a high scoring affair and prepared during the week for an Eisenhower team that would put points on the board and keep pressure on Moses Lake's defense throughout the contest. Instead of the offensive battle that most were expecting, the first half proved to be a game of field position and limiting mistakes. With just 19 seconds left in the second quarter, Rehn Reiley hit a 42 yard field goal to give the Cheifs a 10-0 lead over the Wildcats.
