Beavers blanked in district title game
CASTLE ROCK --- Tenino coach Ryan Schlesser said it best. “We never got off the bus,” Schlesser said. It was one of those days for the Beavers on Saturday, as they never got going in an 11-0 loss to Seton Catholic in the 1A District 4 title game in Castle Rock. “It’s a good little reminder that we can’t just show up and win games,” Schlesser said. “We gotta come here ready to go.” Things went south quickly for the Beavers (17-6), who went down in order on just eight pitches in the top of the first before the Cougars plated two in the bottom half. Being set down quickly became an unfortunate trend for Tenino. In the first four innings, only one Beaver at-bat went longer than four pitches. “We need better at-bats,” Schlesser said. “They only needed like 50 or 60 pitches.” Schlesser wasn’t far off, as the two Seton Catholic pitchers needed just 70 pitches to toss a combined no-hitter. The Cougars had less trouble working the count, and in the fourth, they took advantage. They drew three walks, were hit by three pitches, and collected three hits as a team to hang an eight-spot and go up double digits. “We are not gonna win a whole lot of games if we show up like that,” Schlesser reiterated. The Beavers will find out their seed for the state tournament on Sunday, and they’ll likely hit the road for the first two rounds of the tournament. The opening round and the quarterfinals will take place on the same day, hosted by the top four seeds. The last team left standing from each pod will advance to the semifinals and head to Joe Martin Stadium Bellingham Memorial Day Weekend. "We just need to refocus, have a really good week, and wherever we go, we go," Schlesser said. "Hopefully we can figure it out and have a good regional Saturday." |

Tenino qualifies a bunch for districts with stellar showing at league meet
Behind Carson Schall sweeping the hurdles and several top-five placements, the Beavers’ boys track and field team will be well-represented at the Class 1A District 4 meet next week at Seton Catholic. They finished with 96 points to place fourth in the Evergreen League standings. Schall set a new lifetime best in the 300 hurdles at 42.44 seconds. That puts him 13th in all of 1A with two weeks until state. He cruised to a win in the 110s as the only runner that broke 16 seconds. Austin Johnson triumphed in the open 200 in 23.16 seconds as the other win for Tenino. Ashton Moore had two top-three finishes in the 100 and long jump as those two plus Schall and Parker Minerich placed second in the 400 relay. Minerich and teammate Nolan Watson each placed top-five in the discus and shot put, both with one runner-up finish. Tristan Von Bargen (1,600 and 3,200) plus Peter Hilton (400) and the 1,600 relay also qualified for districts. Tenino’s girls team was fifth in the team standings with 47 points. Its lone league event champ was Paisley Garcia winning the 300 hurdles in 53.35 seconds. The Beavers had a handful of top-five placements. MJ Gallwas (400) and Dakota Lees (discus) each took third. Gallwas and Garcia teamed with Samantha Smith and Holly Thoren to record third in the 800 relay. Smith (400), Brynn Williams (3,200) and the Beavers’ 1,600 relay took fourth. Lees (shot put), Kendall Cox (100 hurdles) and Maria Summers (javelin) registered fifth place finishes. |
