The Pasco Bulldogs will head out on the road to take on the Chiawana Riverhawks at 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Pasco will head into Saturday's matchup hoping to keep the good times rolling: they had to skate by with only a two-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 45-point drubbing they dealt Shadle Park on Saturday. Pasco really took it to Shadle Park for the full four quarters, racking up a 61-16 victory. The Bulldogs' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Meanwhile, Chiawana had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 21.8 points) and they went ahead and made it nine on Saturday. They blew past the Bombers 77-33. Given the Riverhawks' advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked eighth, while the Bombers are ranked 202nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Chiawana's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-1. As for Pasco, their victory ended a 15-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-5.
Pasco was taken down by Chiawana 68-35 in their previous meeting back in January of 2024. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Chiawana's Malia Ruud, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and 15 boards. Now that Pasco knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
