Boys tennis: Wolves win take two of three league matches

Sequim’s Garrett Little stayed undefeated for the season with a big win at No. 1 singles, but a deep Port Angeles team proved to be too much in a 6-1 win at PA on Sept.21.

The loss evened the Wolves’ record for the season at 4-4.

Little dominated in a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Nathan Based, improving to 7-0. But PA’s Matthew Miller topped Jack Crecelius 6-1, 6-3 and C.J. Elliot topped Mason Rapelje, 6-4 and 6-2.

In No. 1 doubles action, Tate Alton and Luke Flodstrom topped Sequim’s William Hughes and Tom Laschet 7-5, 6-1.

Earlier in the week, Olympic won the matches on the court, but a depleted Trojan team had to forfeit two doubles games in a 4-3 loss to host Sequim on Sept. 19.

The Wolves won two of the five matches held — both singles games — as Little dominated in his No. 1 singles match with Ryan Flatley, winning 6-0 and 6-0, while Sebastian Buhrer won at No. 3 singles, 6-1 and 6-1, over Sam Lewis.

Sequim routed another roster-depleted team the following day, knocking off East Jefferson 5-0 — with two matches forfeited.

In singles play, Little upended East Jefferson ace Reid Martin 6-4, 6-4, while Crecelius topped Spencer Fordham 6-1, 6-3.

Hughes and Laschet won at No. 1 doubles, a 6-1, 6-1 win over Roscoe and Trevor Barry, while Lincoln Bear and Hunter Tennell topped Sawyer Duval and Nicho McCracken 6-0 and 6-1. In No. 3 doubles play, Buhrer and Isaac McKeen combined to shut out Tristan Beebe and Jack Cole (6-0, 6-0).

Sequim was scheduled to host Bainbridge on Sept. 25; results were not available at press time.

Looking ahead

The Wolves are at Bremerton on Sept. 27 and East Jefferson on Oct. 2, before hosting the Kingston Buccaneers on Oct 5.

Sequim is at Olympic on Oct. 9 before finishing the regular season Oct. 11 at home against rival Port Angeles.

The Olympic League tournament is slated for Oct. 20-21 in Poulsbo.
