COULEE CITY The Moses Lake Christian Academy/Covenant Christian School Lions came out on top of a defensive battle Saturday night, defeating the Almira/Coulee-Hartline Warriors on the road 50-46 to improve their record to 6-1.
“This is one of toughest places to play,” MLCA/CCS coach Emerson Ferguson said. “I know they’ve (ACH) got some injuries, but this has always been a tough place. We knew it was going to be tough, plus it’s our first game back after the break. The experience was the biggest factor in being able to win a close game.”
The Warriors opened the game on an 8-5 run, with the Lions tying the game on a three-pointer by sophomore Johnny Ferguson and the Warriors quickly retaking the lead with a three by senior Jaxon Baergen. MLCA/CCS closed the first quarter with a layup in transition by senior Jonah Robertson to take a 15-11 lead.
