O-H vs. Columbia (Hunters) The team from Columbia High School in Hunters just couldn’t catch a break Tuesday, January 3 in Harrington. Even when they were left with a wide-open shot, the ball simply would not drop into the basket. O-H 24 20 19 13 -76 Columbia 7 5 2 9 -23 Meanwhile, the Odessa-Harrington boys showed some of the best passing they have exhibited to date, finding the open man who, more often than not, got the two- or three-pointer. Cade Weber led the Titans w...

O-H vs. Soap Lake The boys varsity basketball team appears to have found a way to stay in the win column. After a delayed start to the season due to the football playoffs and a third-place finish for the football team, many of those same boys immediately started basketball practice. The first two games against larger 2B rivals did not go the Titans’ way, but since then, against 1B schools, O-H has found the winning touch. O-H 18 23 10 9 -60 Soap Lake 10 4 13 4 -31 Against S...

O-H vs. Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Just like the first, the second basketball game of the season was also against a tough 2B school, Lind-Ritzville/Sprague. The Broncos overpowered the Titans for the win, but there was some good news from the coach despite the loss. O-H 11 12 19 16 -58 LRS 19 21 14 20 -74 Head coach Travis Schuh said, “OH had a big improvement from last game. We shot a lot better at 40% and 72% from the free-throw line. We were down by 17 at half, but only lost b...
O-H vs. Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Once again, the girls varsity had difficulty against a larger school. After staying close throughout the first half, the third quarter was rude awakening from the Broncos.

The Odessa-Harrington Titans girls basketball team opened the season with games against the Davenport Gorillas and Lind/Ritzville-Sprague Broncos. Despite losing both games to the larger schools, there were a lot of positive signs that the team is on the right track. Against Davenport, the Titans were able to come out strong and played terrific defense in the first half, forcing numerous turnovers which led to fast-break opportunities, giving Odessa-Harrington a 30-20 half time lead. Against the Broncos, the girls started...
The Titan girls varsity basketball team led by 10 at half-time, only to face what looked like a completely different team in the third quarter. Davenport 10 10 29 13 -62 O-H 12 18 6 6 -42 The Lady Gorillas from Davenport came storming back, pounding the Titans 29-6 in the third quarter alone to take the lead by a large margin. They never relinquished it. The O-H girls gave the ball away far too many times with bad passes and unnecessary fouls. They are a very young team,...
The game started off with a stroke of luck for the Titans, when a Davenport player grabbed and popped the basket rim during warmups. That is against the rules, and a technical foul was assessed against Davenport. O-H 4 4 8 16 -32 Davenport 10 17 16 14 -57 It was pretty much all Davenport’s game after that. What scoring there was by the Titan team was led by Markus Smith with 7, followed by Justin Hunt and Cade Weber with 6 each, Nick Tebow with 5, Jared King 4, and Brett L...
The Neah Bay Red Devils took first place on December 2 at the state 1B finals for 8-man football, played in the Tacoma Dome. They defeated Almira/Coulee-Hartline by a score of 36-28. As expected Neah Bay played its game almost exclusively on the ground. After receiving the kickoff, the opening offensive drive took the Red Devils 77 yards in 11 plays before the quarterback, Josiah Greene, dove into the endzone from the one-yard line. While Neah Bay was eating up the clock on the ground, ACH was itching to get the ball. In...

The Odessa-Harrington Titans traveled to Moses Lake to play the Neah Bay Red Devils in the semi-finals championship game.

Jared King (7) and Brett Larmer (12) both fumbled, and each time the ball was recovered for a score. We lost 34-74 in the middle of the 3rd quarter. Our offensive line was disastrous, and we just didn’t play as though we r...
