Chinooks 4, Wildcats 0
KALAMA — Kalama scored in the first minute to take control of this Central 2B League match and never let up on its way to victory over Ocosta.
Ocosta started the match without two of its regular starting 11 and Kalama took advantage just 12 seconds into the match. The Chinooks raced the ball up the right side and put a cross into the box. A Kalama player got a foot on the ball and sent it home for what would be the game-winner.
“It was just kind of all messed up,” Ocosta coach Mike King said of the first goal. “We were just a bit off. It was a long bus trip and I just don’t think we had our focus.”
Kalama added goals in the 16th, 38th and 54th minutes as Ocosta struggled to get any momentum.
King cited Rebecca Holm for a strong performance at center midfielder.
Ocosta (7-7, 9-7) will begin District IV 2B tournament play on Tuesday when the Wildcats face Adna at 7 p.m. at Tiger Stadium in Centralia.
