Bremerton 6, Port Angeles 1

PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders’ doubles team of Hayden Woods and Carson Jackson wrested the team’s lone win, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, in an Olympic League loss to the Knights.

“The match ball went to Hayden Woods and Carson Jackson for taking a couple of seniors to three sets and having the strength to hang in and finish their jobs with a win,” Port Angeles coach Gil Stockton said.

Stockton said his team played well in the loss.

“Tyler Nickerson played one of the finest matches he has experienced against a state bound singles specialist,” Stockton said.

“The doubles team of Kenny Soule and Keenan Leslie battled hard against a couple of seniors who have been playing together for a number of years.

“I am very proud of the fellows for maintaining a great attitude and not giving up in any matches.

“They are learning the game and the subtle nuances that will only help them improve.

The Riders (0-3, 1-3) host Sequim (1-3, 1-4) today.
