On September 21, the Othello Huskies suffered a 33-18 home defeat against the Selah Vikings in a hard-fought game. Head coach Jerome Learman acknowledged that his team might have been their own worst enemy, citing repeated penalties, poor assignments, and missed opportunities. The Vikings took an early lead with a 6-0 score, and despite Othello's efforts, they could not overcome the Vikings' strong second-half performance.
The Huskies opened the second half with a 66-yard touchdown by Shane Perez, but Selah quickly regained control with consecutive scoring drives, taking a 20-point lead. Although Othello managed to cut the deficit to 20-18, two more Vikings touchdowns sealed the win. Learman expressed his belief that his players had improved since their previous loss to Prosser, but conceded that they still needed to play smarter football, acknowledging that their issues were primarily mental rather than physical. The Huskies will look to bounce back with a September 25 game against the Ephrata Tigers.
