Palmer Dinehart and Tyler Flanagan had big games and sophomore Isaiah Flanagan had an impressive varsity debut as the Beavers opened the season with a win.

Tyler Flanagan just missed a triple-double with 14 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds.

Isaiah Flanagan added 17 points.

“He hit some timely 3s,” Woodland coach Andrew Johnson said. “But what I was really impressed by was his defense. He really stepped up and did a great job on one of La Center’s better players.”
