The Seahawks (3-7) will play in another Monday night football this week, traveling to Washington D.C. to play against Washington (4-6) at 5:15 p.m. Pacific Time.

RICHLAND – Prescott traveled to Richland to play in the first round of the boys 1B/2B State tournament on November 13 as the home team hosting Friday Harbor. Friday Harbor scored the first goal of the game on a free kick from Carli Alden just outside the box. When the call for the free kick was made it was a surprise as the foul was not apparent. It was also not clear if Prescott's goalie was screened by his defense on the kick or just beaten to corner. Prescott came back about twelve minutes l...
PRESCOTT – The Prescott soccer team hosted Riverside Christian School in playoff game with a spot in the State tournament at stake Friday November 5th. In the first half it wasn't clear who would come out on top. Both sides had good scoring chances and Prescott's goaltender, Ivan Martinez, made a couple of nice saves in goal to keep the score tied 0-0 after the first half. Jonathan Gonzalez nearly scored in the first half with a long shot that just missed the goal banging off of the top c...
This year the Mariners finished five games behind Houston for the division title and two games out of the second wild-card spot. Since the Mariners did not pick up Kyle Seager’s option for next year, its 25-man payroll stands at around $65 million and is the fifth lowest in Major League Baseball. It is also well below the luxury tax threshold of $210 million. Seattle has a core of young players, and now is an excellent time to pick up some free agents to take this team to the next level. The starting rotation needs to be addressed first. W...
Columbia 34 - 21 - 0 - 0 55 DW 8 - 0 - 6 - 0 14 WAITSBURG/DAYTON-Dayton-Waitsburg hosted undefeated Columbia Burbank Friday night. After losing four starters to injuries last week and another starter in pre-game warm-ups, it was a tough game.

The Seahawks (2-4) will host the New Orleans Saints (3-2) on Monday night football airing on ESPN at 5:15 pm. Last week, Seattle’s loss at Pittsburgh keeps them at the bottom of the NFC West and now four games behind the division-leading Arizona (6-0). It’s too early to say the playoffs are out of reach for this team, but any playoff hopes would likely come via a wild card as the division title is quickly becoming out of reach. Geno Smith didn’t play poorly last week, but two specific possessions, one in the fourth quarter and one in overt...
WAITSBURG/DAYTON-Dayton-Waitsburg Wolfpack lost the Homecoming football game against Mabton on Friday, October 15, with a final score of 48-6.

Until now, he had played in 149 straight games to start his career. The injury is a ruptured tendon on the middle finger of his right hand, and the Seahawks don’t have a clear timetable for his return. According to ESPN, Wilson is expected to be out somewhere between four to six weeks. If it turns out to be only four weeks, Wilson will only miss three games since Seattle has a bye week in wee...
WAITSBURG/DAYTON-Wolfpack Football lost their home opener against the Warden Cougars 0-54 on Thursday, September 30. The football game pitting Dayton-Waitsburg's mighty Wolfpack and Warden's prowling Cougars on September 30 was one to remember- though, not in the way many of us home fans would have hoped: a striking 0-54 loss against the opponent, though painfully one-sided, doesn't mean our boys didn't give it their all. The defense fought a good fight, with players like Theo Anderson (54) and...
