Tigers top Loggers to sweep season series
The Napavine boys basketball team solidified their dominance over Onalaska with a 79-59 victory, completing a season series sweep. The Tigers roared out of the gate, putting up an impressive 25 points in the first quarter, which set the tone for the game. Onalaska's coach, Fred Sturza, noted the recurring issue of slow starts and expressed the team's need to come more prepared against formidable opponents. Although the Loggers found their rhythm and maintained competitive scoring in the following quarters, they ultimately could not erase the early deficit established by Napavine. Karsen Denault emerged as the game's top scorer with 20 points, while Jack Nelson and others contributed effectively to ensure a comfortable win.
The Loggers had strong performances from Blaze Underhill and Justin Jacoby, both scoring 16 points each, but it was not enough. As the teams gear up for their respective league matches on Thursday, Napavine holds an impressive record of 11-2, while Onalaska looks to improve their 6-8 standing. This matchup highlighted the importance of consistent performance throughout all four quarters.
