CENTRALIA — The Woodland Beavers didn’t have the postseason run they wanted, but they had the season they needed to know for sure that they want more. A few tough breaks in a penalty kick shootout left the Beavers on the wrong end of a 3-2 loss to Centralia at Tiger Stadium, Thursday, in a 2A District IV pigtail match, but that math only tells the final page of the story.
With a second-year head coach back at the helm for Woodland this season the goal was to get back on track for competitive runs through a tough league schedules and regular appearances in the postseasons — as deep as possible, of course. And to that end, the Beavers reached many, if not all, of their goals this spring.
“The mission last year when I took over as coach was to have a season where we won at least half our games – and we achieved it,” Woodland head coach Dave Tallbut said. “Knowing that we were going to have a young team this year my goal was to make it to Disticts, even if it’s just a pigtail match.”
