Keith Olson scored a game-high 27 points and pulled down 14 rebounds as the Napavine Tigers knocked off the Toledo Indians, 64-47, Monday night in Toledo.
Cade Evander added eight points, three rebounds and two blocks for the Tigers while James Grose chipped in eight points and six rebounds.
The Tigers jumped out to a 16-8 run to start the game, led 33-22 at the break and held off the Indians in the second half to secure the victory.
“Keith Olson is a load,” Toledo coach Grady Fallon said. “We didn’t have an answer for him. And Cade Evander had eight, so half their points were within 6 feet of the basket. We were hoping to put pressure on them and force more turnovers. We just couldn’t score.”
Carlo Arceo-Hanson led Toledo with 13 points, four assists and four rebounds. Carson Olmstead finished with nine points and six boards and Fredy Fernandez chipped in eight. Jake Cournyer had five assists.

Columbia Adventist exited the locker room feeling itself and jumped to a quick 11-2 lead over the Trojans, but Lusk responded and, despite a rather down second quarter, Pe Ell took a 25-21 lead into the break and never looked back.
Joey McCalden, who had seven points, Thomas Justice and Kollin Jurek, who shifted to a manager role after a football injury, played their last home game for the Trojans.
