COLUMBIA BASIN – Competition on baseball and softball diamonds across the Basin is heating up as teams enter the final month of the regular season.

OTHELLO – Down 2-1 to Deer Park in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Othello bats came alive as the Huskies were able to ring off six runs in seven at-bats and earn a 7-2 win over the Stags.
“We got a couple bounces; a couple things went our way,” Head Coach Sonny Garza said. “It’s good to see that. The excitement in the dugout; it was good for the kids.” .

When it comes to playing high school sports this year, it appears that it might be every league or region for itself.
Last week, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association announced that its athletic calendar would resume Feb. 1 with traditional fall sports.
However, the WIAA also said that while its season schedule was made in order to provide possible regional culminating events, it is allowing individual leagues and districts to come up with their own plans that best fit their communities.
