Week Three & Four CWA HS Round-Up: Pasco, Chiawana pulling away in MCC

Central Washington Round-Up:  The CBB9 is proving to be a competitive league this season with Wenatchee, Sunnyside, Davis and Moses Lake fighting for the top spot in the league and Eastmont sitting within striking distance and proving to be a difficult side to beat.

In Week Three, Wenatchee cruised to a 5-0 win over West Valley and Davis a 2-0 result against Eisenhower, but Moses Lake held on for a narrow 3-2 victory at home versus Eastmont with Anthony Cortez scoring twice. Later in the week Sunnyside picked up a 2-0 win at West Valley and Wenatchee dominated at Eisenhower. Eastmont, though, nipped Davis in overtime with a Johan Espinoza tally in the 88th minute and a shutout performance from Alex Pease in goal.

It was more of the same in Week Four with Sunnyside dominating at Eisenhower and Davis topping Moses Lake in a surprising 6-2 scoreline. Eastmont again proved to be a tough opponent as they came up short in a 4-3 goal-fest at Wenatchee. Later in the week Moses Lake suffered another big loss at the hands of Wenatchee while Sunnyside also narrowly avoided an upset by Eastmont with a 2-1 victory on the road. In the showdown of the bottom two sides, Eisenhower picked up its first victory against West Valley thanks to a pair of goals from Gonzalo Frausto after Eastmont's first-minute opening tally.

The MCC, meanwhile, is starting to look like a two-horse race between 4A sides Pasco and Chiawana. Both, however, had to survive close calls in Week Three.

On Tuesday, Pasco edged visiting Southridge 2-1 with Oscar Cortez providing the winner in the final minute of play and then survived an overtime affair at Kamiakin with Joel Valley providing a goal and assist for a 2-1 win. Meanwhile, Chiawana slipped by visiting Hanford 2-1 and went the distance against Richland, prevailing in a shootout after finishing even at one each. In their lone games of Week Four things were a bit easier with Chiawana rolling to a 4-0 win against Walla Walla and Pasco blanking Hanford 2-0.

Week Three was full of close contests with only two of the eight games decided by more than one goal - Kennewick's 2-0 loss to Kamiakin and 4-1 defeat at Hanford. In a battle of the bottom two Richland nabbed a narrow 1-0 win at Walla Walla, which also took Southridge to penalties in a scoreless affair before falling in the tiebreaker.  In Week Four, Kamiakin won 2-0 at Southridge and Kennewick returned to the winning side of things with a narrow 3-2 result against visiting Richland.
