BREMERTON — The Port Angeles boys tennis team got back on the winning track by beating Bremerton 5-2 in Olympic League action Monday.
The Roughriders swept the doubles matches and No. 1 singles player Hayden McCartney was on top of his game, earning a win for Port Angeles and player of the match honors.
“Hayden is our best player and he always gets the top player from the opposing school, so to see him go out and only drop two games was impressive,” coach Brian Gundersen said.
Hayden beat Matt Pohl 6-2, 6-0.
The Riders also lost just two games in No. 1 doubles action as Connor Reid and Sam Beasley defeated Derek Welch and Conner Wales 6-0, 6-2.
Marcus and Michael Konopaski also dropped just two games at No. 2 doubles as they defeated Brycen Kulbeth and Emerson Castro 6-1, 6-1.
At No. 3 doubles, Chase Walsh and Kevin Herzog beat Colton McCoy and Tyler Enloe 6-2, 6-4.
At No. 4 doubles Derek Schumacher and Kapono Rogers defeated Jade Jarvis and Nelson Liu 6-3, 6-0.
