LAULAINEN STADIUM — Toledo dominated both sides of the ball and looked good doing it on Saturday in a 42-0 win over Napavine in the 2B State football quarterfinals in Kelso at Schroeder Field.
The shutout was the first for the Riverhawks in a postseason contest since 2017. More importantly, the resounding victory over their old foes in black and orange propelled the No. 1 ranked Cheese Town gang into the State semifinal round.
“We had to kind of poke and prod, poke and prod, and stop getting in our own way with penalties — and that’s what we did,” Toledo head coach Mike Christensen said. “We eventually found some stuff that worked, but they made it really tough for us.”
