Mehki Richardson led the defensive effort with 10 tackles, including three tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks, while Cash Short and Beckett Wall combined for 13 tackles, including three tackles for loss. In addition to his rushing touchdown, Rodriguez also scored on a fumble recovery.

The win sets up a 7-0 versus 7-0 showdown between Tumwater and W.F. West next Friday in Chehalis, which could determine the EvCo champion.
