Nighthawk girls claw through districts

OAKESDALE — A short-handed Oakesdale Nighthawk girls basketball team dominated two games during a chilly week in Whitman County.

After a 46-35 victory over the Wellpinit Redskins, and a 50-30 victory over the DeSales Irish, the Nighthawk girls are a perfect 6-0 in district play, good for a tie for first in districts with Sunnyside Christian, who are 7-0. Sunnyside Christian and Oakesdale do not meet in the regular season this year.

The Nighthawks are 9-1 overall for the season, their lone loss came in early December to Curlew, 42-37. Curlew are 14-1 for the season.
