Controlling possession and pace from start to finish, the Centralia boys soccer team defeated a shorthanded Tenino squad at Tiger Stadium Saturday afternoon, 7-0. 

The Tigers were led by Leo Perez’s hat trick, with goals coming in the second, 19th, and 51st minutes. Kilmer Alverto, Darrell Neuert, and Simba Osman also managed goals for the Tigers in a strong offensive performance. 

Tenino, fresh off its second game in as many days, will get one day of rest before returning to the pitch against league rival Montesano on Monday, while Centralia will also return to league play against Black Hills on Tuesday back at Tiger Stadium.
