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. Without our two starting defensive ends, Columbia took advantage of the edges and ran for five first-quarter touchdowns. We could not contain the edges, and Columbia's runners did a great job being patient and following their blockers for some quick long...

DAYTON/WAITSBURG—Dayton Waitsburg Wolfpack had a rough Thursday night game at Finley, WA, on October 21. The team came out and played a good first quarter holding River View High School to one touchdown at the end of the quarter. Coach Troy Larsen shared: “I expected the whole game to play out like the first quarter, but the injury bug caught us. We lost four players to injuries starting with senior Brayden Mohney who got caught up in friendly fire after making a great open field tackle and ended up with a concussion. Shortly after Jayce Gle...
PRESCOTT – Prescott decisively won their ninth game of the season over the Umatilla Vikings 11-0 on October 19. Vicente Garcia opened the scoring early in the first half on a pass from Brandon Caro to make the score 1-0. Moments later, Adrian Rubio scored an unassisted goal to put Prescott up 2-0. From there, the Tigers kept putting pressure on their opponent's defense with scoring opportunities nearly every time they had possession near the Vikings' goal. Umatilla's goaltender made several save...

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. The loss didn't stop the crowd from cheering, both at the field and at home while watching live streams provided by various fans and parents. Coach Troy Larsen reported that the team was already down two lineman, and lost a third one due to an ejection from the game. As a result, Larsen said, the team really struggled with tackling and blocking. "I felt o...
DAYTON/WAITSBURG—Wolfpack Volleyball played against the Walla Walla Valley Academy Knights on October 12.

Kylee Henry ended the game with one kill, four assists, and one ace. “The girls continue to improve each game,” head coach Tracy Barron share...
Seattle (2-3) travels to Pittsburgh (2-3) this Sunday to play at 5:20 pm on NBC. This is the first game in Russell Wilson’s career that he will miss. 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...
This week, the Seahawks return home to host the Rams on Thursday, October 7, at 5:20 pm. This is the first week of the season where the Thursday night game is not exclusively on the NFL network. The game will also be shown on FOX as well as Amazon Prime this week. The Rams are coming off their first loss of the season to Arizona, who is the last undefeated team at 4-0. Seattle defeated the 49ers 28-21 despite playing a very poor first half. Even though Seattle is at home, they are a slight underdog in this game. Last season, the Seahawks went 1...

Seattle is once again on the road this week. This time against a San Francisco team that lost to Green Bay last week in the game’s final seconds. The Seahawks (1-2) and 49ers (2-1) are looking up in the standings at the Rams and Cardinals, who are undefeated on the season but play each other next week. So, this is an excellent opportunity for one of these teams to improve in the division with a win. At quarterback for the 49ers is Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo played in only six games last season, missing several games with a high ankle sprain. H...
Seattle travels to Minnesota this week to play the Vikings. After dropping a very winnable game last week against the Titans, the Seahawks are last place in the NFC West as other teams in their division have won both of their games. It’s a little too early to call this a must-win game, but with games against San Francisco and Los Angeles the following two weeks, Seattle can’t afford to lose any more ground in the standings. At quarterback for Minnesota is Kirk Cousins. He is thirty-three years old and in his fourth season with the Vikings aft...

This week Seattle hosts the Tennessee Titans in their first home game of the season. The early schedule for the Seahawks looks like a typical division one school’s three-game tune-up against junior colleges. Last week, the Seahawks won 28-16 against the Indianapolis Colts. It would be hard to find anything wrong with the previous week’s performance. Solid running game. Check. Russell Wilson accurate and in control. Check. New tight end fitting in seamlessly. Check. Dominating wide receivers. Check. Improved defensive play. Check. The Tit...
