SOFTBALL

Orofino 21, Asotin 8

ASOTIN - The Maniacs exploded in their season debut, a nonleague contest.

Shania Odell swung for seven RBI and the Maniacs put up 10 runs within the first three innings.

"We definitely came out swinging," Orofino coach Justin Haag said of his squad, which was led by Odell, who nearly went for the cycle. She hit a home run, a triple and a double, and needed just a single to complete the wheel.

"If you score 20 runs, you're going to win a lot of games," Haag added.

Madison Parks also had three hits, two of them doubles. She finished with four RBI. Taylor Erbst and Susie Willerford also notched two hits apiece for Orofino.

Prairie 21, CV 0

KOOSKIA - Playing its first game as a program in two years, the Clearwater Valley softball team showed heart, but it wasn't enough to overcome perennial powerhouse Prairie of Cottonwood.

"I give CV a lot of credit, they played their hearts out for their first game in two years," Prairie coach Jeff Martin said.

In a game that was shortened to three innings because of the 15-run rule, Prairie hurler Leah Holthaus struck out six and walked four en route to three hitless innings.

"Holthaus did a fair job on the mound," Martin said.

Prairie will next take on Kellogg in a doubleheader on Saturday at Lewiston's Airport Park.

BOYS' SOCCER

Pullman 2, West Valley 1

SPOKANE - The Pullman Greyhounds boys' soccer team jumped out on West Valley and then held on for its second win in as many matches this season.

The Hounds built a 2-0 lead when Will Hyndman latched onto a Matt Conkel cross in the 24th minute and Conkel headed home a Matt Winchell corner in the 50th minute.

West Valley's goal came on a set piece that deflected off the wall and trickled past the goal line in the 71st minute.

"We definitely held our own," Pullman coach Doug Winchell said.

Pullman will play host to Clarkston on Thursday.

East Valley 4, Clarkston 0

The Clarkston Bantams opened their season with a loss to East Valley.

"I knew right off the bat East Valley was going to be a tough team," Clarkston coach Corinthia Richert said. "They always are."

The Knights scored their first tally in the 19th minute on a boot from Kane Heaton.

They would add two more in the half, one of which came on a Clarkston own goal.

In the second half, the Bantam defense tightened up and kept East Valley mostly in check.

"They began to fuse and understand how the team works," Richert said. "What kept us in it was a good, tight defense that was communicating well."

In his first varsity game, Clarkston sophomore goalkeeper Andrew Walker made 17 saves.
