King scored six touchdowns and four 2-point conversions, all of them rushing, for a total of 380 yards. Clark rushed for 165 yards, also bringing down an interception to halt Naselle's offense and return the ball to the Tigers. Jakob Starkel and Brady Walter also had one 2-point conversion each.
Nelson totaled four points via the kicking game, with one field goal and one successful point-after attempt.
Defensively, King led the team in tackles with 13, while Jaden Hunt added 10 more.
