Boys Basketball: Mules win KM Mountain Trophy

The Daily News - Friday, December 3, 2010

Three Wahkiakum players scored in double figures as the Mules topped Naselle 60-36 in nonleague boys basketball in Cathlamet on Friday.

The Mules' victory also earned them the KM Mountain Trophy, the rivalry award contested between them and the Comets.

"We have some things we need to work on, but the kids hustled and played good defense," Wahkiakum assistant coach Todd Souvenir said. "We had a rough shooting second quarter but we played well."

Wahkiakum (1-0) doubled-up on the Comets 22-11 in the first quarter, and built a 46-32 lead going into the fourth quarter.

John Chambers led the Mules with 18 points and nine assists. Brett Chaput added 11 points and 14 rebounds, and Lars Blix chipped in 10 points.

Leonel Mendoza paced Naselle with 21 points.

Wahkiakum hosts Warrenton on Saturday night. Naselle entertains Montesano Tuesday.
