YAKIMA – It took a bit of time for unbeaten Moses Lake to warm up Friday night at a chilly Zaepfel Stadium.

Once the Mavericks flipped the switch early in the second quarter, however, there was no stopping them.

Moses Lake capped a second straight unbeaten run through the CBBN, pulling away from a pesky Davis squad for a 62-18 victory. Quarterback Brady Jay passed for 460 yards and matched the school record he set last week with nine touchdowns, one shy of the state record.

The Mavs, who already had locked up the conference’s top berth to the Class 4A state-qualifiers, will find out their opponent Sunday.

While Moses Lake never trailed Friday, penalties and a turnover slowed their high-powered offense, and Davis stayed within reach. Jay tossed three touchdown passes in the first quarter, but the scoring drives had hiccups along the way.

A fourth touchdown seemed imminent, but a fumble in the final seconds of the first quarter gave the ball back to the Pirates, and they took advantage.

Davis quarterback Noah Newkirk threw over the Moses Lake defense, finding D’Anthony Wiggins for an 87-yard touchdown, the second of two scoring plays between the seniors, to pull the Pirates to within a score at 20-12.

Then, Moses Lake took over. With the Pirates following the same drop-eight-in-coverage approach many have employed against the Mavericks, Jay sparked the offense with his feet, rushing for nearly half of a 52-yard drive that was capped by a TD pass to Grant Smith.

“All week we took it for granted, probably,” Mavericks receiver Carter Anderson said. “The second quarter we really turned it around and brought the energy up.”

Jay tossed three more touchdowns before halftime, with a pair one-play scoring drives.

He added his eighth touchdown early in the third to trigger the running clock.

“We responded well, the guys dug in,” Moses Lake coach Brett Jay said. “But definitely there are some things to clean up.”

Anderson caught five of Jay’s touchdown passes, setting up the last of them with an interception he returned to the 4-yard line. He finished with 222 receiving yards.

Smith hauled in two scoring passes, and Case Anderson and Elijah Burns each had one.

Jay has 59 touchdown passes this season and more than 3,300 passing yards.

Next up for the Mavericks (6-0 CBBN, 9-0 overall) is a Week 10 play-in, which has been a bugaboo for the conference the past two seasons, with the CBBN not advancing a team to the round of 16 since 2022.

“I expect it to be 100% every practice, every play,” Anderson said. “We’re going to come out and fight, we want it bad.”

Wiggins finished with seven receptions for 168 yards for the Pirates (1-5, 2-7), who cap their season with a trip to Toppenish.
