After a defeat at the hands of Onalaska on Tuesday, the Napavine girls basketball team couldn’t bounce back in a 56-41 defeat at the hands of league-leading Wahkiakum Thursday.
The Tigers (6-7, 3-3 C2BL) scored just nine combined points in the first and third quarters, which did them in against an experienced Mules squad.
“We had a tough start and third quarter,” Tigers coach Shane Schutz said. “That is obviously credit to a well coached and veteran basketball team. I thought we battled and competed tonight against a good team.”
Schutz praised the play of Hayden Kaut, who scored 16 points, and Taylen Evander who scored three but gave great energy.
Napavine has a quick turnaround, playing against Mossyrock Friday at 5:45 p.m.
