AHS at Evergreen 2A meet
OLYMPIA — Two Aberdeen singles players and a doubles team advanced in the Evergreen 2A Conference/Subdistrict Tennis Tournament that completed Saturday at the Steamboat Tennis and Athletic Club.
Aberdeen’s Ryan Solan and Luis Garcia, in singles, and the doubles team of Josh Germeaux and Cody Sayres qualified for district competition Friday and Saturday at Longview’s Mint Valley Racket Club. The top five in singles and doubles advanced to district.
Solan finished second in singles, falling to Black Hills’ top-seeded Gunner Nelson, 6-2, 6-2, in the championship match.
Garcia placed fourth in singles. He nailed down a district berth with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 win over Chehalis’ Andrew Painter.
Germeaux and Sayres advanced at the expense of Aberdeen teammates Patric Haerle and Aaron Larsen. Sayres and Germeaux prevailed in a pair of tiebreakers, 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (7-4) before falling to Centralia’s Ben Corwin-Ryan Mack, 6-2, 7-5, in a seeding match to determine third and fourth places.
Haerle and Larsen then fell to a Tumwater duo, 6-3, 6-0, in a winner-to-district, loser-out affair. They wound up sixth and will be district alternates.
Aberdeen’s Harlan Troy wound up sixth in singles. He dropped a tight three-setter to Tumwater’s Cade Williams, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, in a district-qualifying contest.
GIRLS SOCCER
Pirates 4, Wildcats 0
ADNA — Adna stayed undefeated on the season with a win over Ocosta in a Central 2B League match on Monday.
The Pirates put back a rebound in the first minute to take the lead for good and added goals in the 21st, 47th and 65th minutes.
“They pretty much controlled the entire night,” Ocosta coach Mike King said. “They were just more physical than us, faster than us and passed better than us.”
Adna (11-0, 12-0) outshot Ocosta 34 to 3 for the game with Wildcat goalkeeper Kristi Raffelson coming up with 18 saves in the match.
King cited Katelynn Denny and Mercedes Denny for their work defensively.
Ocosta (5-6, 7-6) hosts Napavine on Thursday.
Volleyball
Wolves sweep Bobcats
At Sam Benn Gym, a slow start by Aberdeen brought two good games before falling to Black Hills 25-7, 25-19, 25-22 in an Evergreen 2A Conference match on Monday night.
Jillian Swor led the Bobcats (1-5, 1-7) with five kills and two blocks. Tamara Corona and Sidney Blood were cited for their overall play, with Blood getting her first start of the season.
“We struggled in the first game, but in the second and third games, we played our best volleyball of the season,” AHS head coach Doug Basler said. “The girls played more aggressive and cleaner in limiting the mistakes that have hurt us in the past.”
Black Hills won the junior varsity and C Squad matches in two games each.
Today, Aberdeen returns to action at Chehalis.
Loggerettes sweep Hyaks
WISHKAH — Wishkah swept North Beach 3-0 (25-13, 25-9, 25-16) in a non-league match at Wishkah on Monday.
