The tennis battle came down to the wire as Jackson prevailed, winning 4-3. The Timberwolves were able to win three of four singles to make a difference in the match. 

Winners over Jackson were Tyler Gettmann in singles, Bennett Vana and Ari Webb, Eric Ertsgaard and Chris Cummings in Doubles.

The T-Birds posted their first win of this season over WesCo North opponent the Everett Seagulls. The Thunderbirds swept every match in singles and doubles to win 7-0. The Thunderbirds have a 1-1 record in the first week of matches.

Shorewood will travel to take on another 4A power, Glacier Peak, this Wednesday September 12 and a KingCo 4A opponent Redmond on Friday September 14th. All matches start at 3:30pm.
