UNDATED — Congratulations to Nathan Basden and Matthew Miller of the Roughriders tennis team, they have qualified for the state tournament at the University of Wahington this spring. Miller and Basden went 4-1 to place 5th and won their final match over Foss 6-0; 6-2. Luke Flodstrom and Tate Alton lost a heartbreaker to Washington High School 2-6; 6-4 and 6-7 eliminating them from the tournament but it was a great year for Flodstrom and Alton.
Congrats to Garrett Little of Sequim, who lost in the district championship match, but goes to state as the #2 seed. Little had a 3-hour grind in his semifinal game.

The girls high school soccer district playoffs begin tomorrow with two huge games for Port Angeles and Sequim. The Wolves got the #5 seed and will travel to #4 Enumclaw tomorrow with a 7 pm kickoff. The Roughriders are the #9 seed and host #16 seed Renton at 5:30 pm.
If Sequim beats Enumclaw, they will qualify for the state tournament. The Roughriders must win 3 straight games to qualify for the state tournament. If Sequim loses to Enumclaw, they will have to win 2 straight games to get to state. Because Sequim and Port Angeles are on the same side of the bracket, if Sequim falls to Enumclaw there is a great chance that they could meet Port Angeles this Saturday in a winner to state loser out game.
