The Tigers scored the first 21 points of the game en route to opening up a 50-6 lead at halftime.

Schutz commended both seniors for their effort over the years, adding that Pancake didn’t begin playing basketball until eighth grade.
“It was great to see her progress throughout her career at Napavine,” Schutz said. “Jessie has had a great year for us this year as well, and I know that she is excited to get ready for the district tournament.”
Ava Ondong and Nicholle Valentine both added eight points, Aubrey Williams scored six, and Alexis Schutz added five along with four assists and two steals.
Natalie Cardenas, Winlock’s only senior, tallied 11 points, four steals, three rebounds, and two blocks to lead the Cardinals in her final high school game.
Dakota Fox added two points, and Kendyl Guenther grabbed eight rebounds. Winlock finishes its season 2-18.
