Shorewood’s doubles team of juniors Ellie Allen-Hatch and Emily Wright shocked the first place team from WesCo North in the first round of the District 1 tennis tournament. After losing the first set 2-6 to the North Champions from Ferndale the T-Birds won the next two sets 6-2, 6-2.
The win moved them into a very close match versus the number two team from WesCo South, the Mountlake Terrace team. The two seniors from Terrace were 4th place at state two years ago.
The T-Birds lost 4-6, 5-7. They will face the number two team, Stanwood, from WesCo North in the consolation semi-finals with the loser out. Allen-Hatch and Wright need to win in order to have a chance at playing for the third and final spot to the state tournament.
The tournament is being held at Arlington high school with all matches starting at 1pm.
