PORT ANGELES — A full afternoon of girls tennis ended up in a split for archrivals Port Angeles and Sequim on Friday.
The Wolves and Roughriders each won a match in their Olympic League doubleheader, with the former winning the first match 4-3 and the latter taking the second 5-2
Due to the length of the matches being played in the first set, the second match was an abbreviated format, playing one pro set instead of the traditional best 2 out of 3 sets to determine the winner.
“In all of my years coaching at Port Angeles High School, I’ve never been involved in such a close match,” said coach Brian Gundersen. “We enjoy playing against Sequim every year because their girls play the right way, are well-coached, and the matches are always so competitive.”
Rider seniors Alexis Corn and Laney Boyd won both doubles matches of the doubleheader, getting special praise from Gundersen.
“Alexis and Laney are our only seniors and they are playing their best tennis of the year right now,” he said.
Serena Okamoto had two victories for Sequim as well, first winning the No. 1 singles showdown in the first match, then teaming up with Anna Prorok to win the No. 2 doubles in the second match.
Prorok also earned a singles victory in the first match, winning the No. 2 matchup.
The Riders travel to Kingston on Wednesday while Sequim travels to Port Townsend.

Baseball Port Angeles 4, Bremerton 0
PORT ANGELES — Brian Senf tossed a two-hit shutout to give the Roughriders a much-needed Olympic League victory Friday afternoon.
Thanks to the win, as well as two North Mason losses this weekend, Port Angeles can clinch a spot in the Class 2A sub-district playoffs with a victory over Sequim at Volunteer Field on Monday.
A loss would likely put the Riders (8-7 in league and overall) in a sub-district pigtail playoff with North Mason.

CHIMACUM — The injury-depleted Cowboys couldn’t quite keep up with the Nisqually League’s top team Friday.
The Warriors scored two goals in the final four minutes of the first half, and the Cowboys were never able to find an answer.
‘The boys played exceptionally well,” Chimacum coach Kevin Coate said.
“Considering we had very few subs, and they subbed often and tried to wear us out, I was very happy with how the boys played.”
