Week Five CWA HS Round-Up: Pasco unbeaten streak snapped by Chiawana

Chiawana and Davis celebrate dramatic wins in top of table clashes (John Sokol & Tracie Fowler)
The big story of the week in the MCC and CBB9 was the end of Pasco's impressive league unbeaten streak that saw them go 32 games against MCC opposition without a loss in regulation or overtime.

MID COLUMBIA CONFERENCE 

Things transpired normally for Pasco during the two midweek contests, drubbing Richland and Walla Walla to a combined score of 11-0. Jesus Meraz-Rodriguez tallied two goals and an assist in the 4-0 win over visiting Richland and added another two goals at Walla Walla in a 7-0 win. Hector Magana also provided two goals and an assist against the Bombers along with a goal and two assists at Walla Walla.

Right on the heels of Pasco, Chiawana blanked Southridge 3-0 thanks in part to two goals from Isaac Ponce, but perhaps got caught looking forward to Saturday when they hosted Kennewick on Thursday. Ponce scored the lone goal, but a 1-1 stalemate went to a shootout and the Lions were able to snare the victory.

Saturday's big showdown was a wild one as Pasco twice took the lead against Chiawana with goals from Magana and Sergio Avalos, but Jose Rodriguez answered twice for the Riverhawks and Shambel West provided the winning tally in overtime.

The Bulldogs had not lost in regulation or overtime in their last 29 league games (32 including MCC opposition in playoffs). The streak included two shootout wins and a shootout loss (2-1 on Apr 22, 2014 to Walla Walla :: 26 consecutive since that SO-L). Their last proper defeat, 2-1, was to Chiawana on April 12, 2014.

With the top 4A sides battling for the outright league title, the race for the top spot among the 3A schools is mired in a log-jam mid-table. Hanford topped Kamiakin 2-1 on Monday with a pair of goals from Will Eldrid, but a pair of assists from him on Thursday was not enough as they fell 3-2 in a shootout at Southridge, which was led by a pair of assists from Emilio Sanchez.

Kamiakin escaped a close call Thursday at Richland with a 2-1 win. On Saturday, Kennewick topped visiting Southridge 3-1 with a goal and assist each from Eddie Castillo and Armando Ponce. Unlike Kamiakin, Hanford was unable to get past Richland, falling 4-3 to the Bombers after two goals and an assist from Eldrid and a pair of goals from Miguel Ramirez on the other side.

Two of the league's top sides squared off on Tuesday in the Big 9 and needed a shootout to decide the outcome with Davis coming out on top for a 2-1 victory over visiting Wenatchee. Later in the week Davis squared off against another contender, squeaking out a narrow 1-0 road win at Sunnyside with a goal from Michael Raya in the first half holding up.

Eastmont swept their two games on the week against the cellar dwellers, downing visiting West Valley 2-1 and drubbing host Eisenhower 5-1. Johan Espinoza scored three goals in the second win and Farace Nassar scored once in each.

Moses Lake split on the week with a 2-0 win over Sunnyside, but in what has become a very up-and-down season they fell later in the week against West Valley.
