HS UPDATE 10.9.18: West Valley Bests Cheney; NEA Showdowns Up Again

Last Thursday's action was highlighted by West Valley downing GNL leader Cheney to tighten up the top of the table as the postseason approaches.

In the MCC, there were a handful of close contests as well. Southridge rallied to win in overtime against Hanford in a battle of mid-table sides and Walla Walla put forth a goliath effort defensively in going toe-to-toe with Chiawana in a narrow 1-0 loss. The highlight of the night, though, was Hermiston finally picking up its first victory of the season, downing fellow cellar side Pasco in a shootout after a 1-1 stalemate.

This week the top three sides in the Northeast A League once again begin facing one another as they fight for playoff seeding over the final two weeks of the regular season. Deer Park (8-0) visits Lakeside (8-1) today (Tuesday) and Lakeside visits Freeman (7-2) on Thursday. Then next week Freeman is at Deer Park on Tuesday in a match that should settle things barring any stunning upsets as they all face the rest of the league on Thursday.

ERRORS?... NUDGE YOUR COACH -- If you see missing/incorrect info from your games, please urge your coach to send the post-game info to INWsn (its either because I did not receive it or alternative source was wrong). In addition to match coverage, I use this info and suggestions from coaches for my HS Best XI selections each week. Each year I reach out to the area coaches requesting post-game reports with basic stats.  Tell them you want INWsn coverage!!
