PULLMAN — West Valley senior Rylen Allen scored all of his team’s goals as the Eagles downed the Greyhounds in a Washington Class 2A district championship game. Evan French scored the lone goal for Pullman.

“We should’ve had some better finishes,” Pullman coach Doug Winchell said. “The physicality of the game got us districted.”

This was West Valley’s first win over Pullman since 2016 and just its third since 2011.

The Greyhounds will next travel to Othello on Friday to play the Huskies in a regional crossover.
