It was far from the prettiest game for the Tenino football team on Friday night in Rainier, but the Beavers did just enough to escape with a 19-14 win over the Mountaineers.
Tenino built a 19-0 lead thanks to a touchdown pass from Evan Morey to Easton Miller and two Mason Metcalf touchdown runs, but turnovers and penalties allowed Rainier to hang around.
The Mountaineers attempted to string together a comeback, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter, but ultimately, the Beavers were able to hold on for the win despite 21 penalties and four turnovers.
