Tennis ready for districts

With the regular season over, the Raiders are now preparing for district, which starts Saturday at 9a.m. in Omak.

District B Tennis will be split between the Olympic Racket Club and City Park in Omak. The Raiders are allowed two singles players and two doubles teams at Districts.

The top four finishers in both singles and doubles play will move on to Cashmere May 23 when they will face the Caribou Trail League competitors for entry to the state tournament. From Cashmere, the top four boys and top three girls move on to state.

Last week was the last multiple match week for the Raiders as they took on Entiat at home May 5 then travelled to Oroville and Wilbur Thursday and Friday.

Against Entiat, both squads held on to win. At Oroville, the Raider boys lost all the matches contested, the closest being Cristian Ruiz loss to Jaxon Blackler 6-3, 7-5. The girls came home with a 4-1 victory over Oroville. At Wilbur, both squads won by big margins. Last night, the Raiders played the last regular season match against Okanogan at home.

The Raider girls at deadline had a 9-5 overall win-loss record in match play and were 5-5 in league play. The Raider boys were 5-9 overall and 2-8 in league action.

Head Coach Steve Archer is very impressed with the team’s growth over the season. “Even though we are a very young team, there has been steady improvement in skill,” he said.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Archer said, “Post season play will give this team some valuable experience for next season.”
