McLoughlin High School’s boys varsity team has had an amazing start to their season. Opening up the season for the team was a home tournament which led to success.
December 1st, 2016 was the date that Mac-Hi held a late fourth quarter lead over College Place High School to clinch their first victory of the season. This first victory made for a long day on Saturday because with the victory came a late game against Touchet. The boys played an excellent game on defense and held the opposing team, the Touchet Indians, to one shot, resulting in a Mac-Hi victory.
The final score of the game against College Place High School was 37 (MHS) - 31 (CPHS), And the final score against Touchet High School was 45 (MHS) - 42 (THS). These two victories put the boys to a 2-0 start to the season, but that undefeated record came to a short halt on Tuesday, December 6 when Waitsburg High school came out with the victory over Mac-Hi. The final score against the Waitsburg Cardinals was 41 (Waitsburg) - 31 (MHS). However they suffered defeat, and the Pioneer boys planned on firing back the in weekend a tournament in Umatilla, where they opened up against the Umatilla Vikings.
Sadly, the tournament over the weekend came to a short end after only two games played due to poor road conditions. The Mac-Hi Boys lost against Umatilla on Thursday night, but they came back the next day to triumph over Echo in a poor victory as many would call a game with so many fouls and rough playing. However a win is still a win.
