Tenino withstands Aberdeen rally, pulls away for win
The Tenino girls soccer team got back in the win column in a big way on Saturday, as the Beavers topped Aberdeen 5-2. “Great win,” Tenino coach Dave Montgomery said. “It really kind of showed that if we play within our system and keep making good passes, we’re going to find a lot of success. We’re so happy with the team right now.” Callie Mickelson got the Beavers (2-1-1) early, scoring two goals in the first half and finishing off the hat trick just 10 minutes into the second. “Callie was just on one,” Montgomery said. The first goal was a “spectacular” volley flick, and she followed that up by beating the keeper vertically for the second. Her third goal was the culmination of an excellent sequence from the entire team, as Nessa Culp made the last of several great passes to Mickelson, who put it home near the back post. Aberdeen got right back into the match with two goals in two minutes 10 minutes after Mickelson’s third, but Holly Thoren scored on a Kyla Watson cross just three minutes later to push the lead back to two. Just two minutes later, Thoren got the ball to Paisley Garcia, who scored from the 18-yard line to extend the lead back to three. “That was something we struggled with a little bit last year,” Montgomery said. “Throughout the summer and carrying into the season, we’re able to withstand a barrage of a team and go get some goals of our own.” The Beavers will return home on Tuesday, when they’ll face Onalaska on the blacktop. |

Tigers top Bulldogs in Yakima for first win
The Napavine girls soccer team got in the win column on Saturday, as the Tigers topped Okanogan 3-0 at Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima. Hayden Kaut got the Tigers on the board in the first half, and Grace Pancake and Hannah Fay added to the lead in the second. “It was a pretty good game,” Napavine coach John Bates said. “I’m glad the girls won.” It was the Tigers’ (1-2) first win of the season, as they entered Saturday 0-2 after losses to Montesano and R.A. Long. “Two tough games,” Bates said. “So the girls are pretty pumped right now. We can’t wait for the next game.” The Tigers are on the road again on Monday, when they’ll head to South Bend to take on RSB. |

Napavine falls just short against Life Christian Academy
TACOMA — At the half, Napavine didn’t have much going offensively. Through two quarters at the famous Stadium Bowl in Tacoma, the Tigers were shut out, and they entered the locker room down two scores. Napavine got it going offensively in the second half, scoring four touchdowns, but it also allowed a flurry of big plays on defense, which led to a 35-28 loss to 1A Life Christian Academy. The Eagles took the lead with just over 30 seconds remaining, when a pass from quarterback Jabez Boyd deflected off the hands of one Eagle receiver into the waiting hands of another in the end zone. “I liked our effort,” Napavine coach Josh Fay said. “That’s a good football team. I’ll leave here feeling good.” The Tigers did everything they could to make it a game in the second half, as they were able to generate chunk plays through the air and on the ground. Beckett Landram got Napavine on the board with a 17-yard rushing touchdown in the third, and Grady Wilson found Karsen Denault on a deep ball for a 43-yard pass later in the quarter. On the next Napavine drive, Wilson corralled a high snap and found a wide open Colin Shields, who turned upfield and raced to the end zone. The ensuing PAT gave the Tigers a 20-19 lead. Both teams then took turns trading blows, as Boyd ran for a 50-yard TD before Kelly responded with a 50-yard touchdown of his own. A two-point conversion gave Napavine a 28-27 lead, but the Eagles got the final blow on the ricochet touchdown. The Tigers did get one final hail mary near the 30-yard line, but the pass was batted around before falling incomplete near Denault at the goal line. “This is encouraging for me,” Fay said. “Did we execute very well? No. Do we have a lot of things to fix? Yeah. We can do that. We’ll get better because of this game.” In addition to going blow-for-blow with a quality 1A team, Fay was just as pleased with the amount of Tigers who made an impact, saying that 22 players were rotating in and out and making an impact on both sides of the ball. “We got the right guys,” Fay said. “I like the kids we’re putting on the field. Now we gotta coach them … I hate losing, but this is okay.” It’ll be another 1A opponent in Week 3 for the Tigers (1-1), who will host Cedar Park Christian on Saturday, Sept. 21.
