Tennis

The Eatonville Cruiser boy’s tennis team had an eventful week, highlighted by their thrilling victory over Life Christian Academy with a score of 3-2. The match showcased the team's resilience and talent, with particular standout performances from the top singles players and the doubles teams.

Carl Lucas and Austen Quirie, the team's top singles players, exhibited impressive playing, demonstrating their skills and determination on the court. Their contributions were crucial in securing the team's hard-fought victory.

The excitement reached its peak in the match when the #1 doubles team, consisting of Brody Thirtyacre and AJ Lightfoot, emerged victorious in a dramatic 3rd set tiebreaker. Their ability to handle pressure and their unwavering teamwork were on full display.

The momentum continued in the doubles category, with other doubles teams achieving wins through tiebreakers. The Nate Goode and Jacob Golding team and the Jackson Rockey and Dana Bazan team displayed remarkable determination and composure in their matches, ultimately securing victories for the team.

However, the week didn't end on a high note, as the Cruisers faced off against Cascade Christian, aiming to avenge an earlier 5-0 loss in the season. Unfortunately, the outcome remained the same, with the Cruisers experiencing another 5-0 loss.
