Cashmere is hoping to do what Wapato couldn't on Saturday: put an end to Zillah's winning streak, which now stands at 11 games. Everything went Zillah's way against Wapato as Zillah made off with an 88-68 win. Given the Leopards' advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 25th, while the Wolves are ranked 125th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cashmere). They simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday as they easily beat Chelan 83-42. Winning may never get old, but the Bulldogs sure are getting used to it with their fifth in a row.
