The Crook County High School boys tennis team won four matches during the first day of the district tennis tournament on Monday, but have no athletes still in the competition today.
Pierre Blaise won his first round singles match, then was eliminated when he lost in the second round. Also winning a first round match and falling in round two were doubles team Paul Robideau and Trevor Brown, who won their first match 6-1, 6-4, and then lost a tough second round match to a highly regarded team from Hermiston.
"Robideau and Brown played great," said Coach Dan Brown. "That was probably the match of their season. It was just a dogfight and they actually dominated part of that match."
The doubles team of Joe Oshlschlaeger and Zac Thompson also played well, but fell in three sets to another Hermiston doubles team.
"They just came up short," said Brown. "It was a tight, three-set match."
Alex Finnerin and Matt Harper also suffered close losses for the Cowboys in their singles matches.
"The day was frustrating," Brown said. "It was so close you could taste it, but it didn't happen and we are out of the competition."
Going into the final day of the tournament, Summit High School is leading the tournament with 18 points. Hermiston follows with 12. Rounding out the field are Bend (9), Mountain View (5), Madras (5), Crook County (4) and The Dalles/Wahtonka (4).
Semifinals action begins at 9 a.m. today in Bend. |
