Beavers Fall to Knights in First District Round

Posted

Falling behind 11-0, and eventually 18-5 after a quarter, the Tenino boys basketball team couldn’t make up an early deficit in a 60-49 loss to King’s Way Christian on the road Friday night in the first round of the 1A District 4 tournament. 

Though Noah Schow and Austin Gonia again led the way scoring, the Beavers couldn’t catch up from the deficit, despite a 19-9 fourth quarter run. 

Schow had a team-high 23 points to go along with seven rebounds, and Gonia scored 19 for the Beavers. Still getting his legs under him after sitting most of the season with an injury, Tenino big-man Jack Burkhardt hauled in a team-high 11 rebounds for the Beavs. 

The Beavers will play with their season on the line against La Center on the road next Tuesday at 6 p.m. in a loser-out game.
