Pirates sweep Northwest A
Joseph Terry | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 5 months AGO
KALISPELL — Polson’s netters dominated the headlines at the Northwest A divisional tournament last weekend.
Pirates senior Brady Hislop finished out his strong weekend with a clean sweep in boys singles, winning every match 6-0, 6-0. The top seed entering the tournament, Hislop took little time to win his second divisional championship, and his first since his sophomore year after a second place finish last season.
Polson’s top doubles teams also rolled. Dylan McCrumb and Layne Zimmerman cruised in each of their two matches on the final day, despite inclement weather pausing momentum in play.
“It took us a little bit to get started in the morning, but after the rain delay we put it together and got it done in both matches,” Zimmerman said.
McCrumb, the singles champion from last season, won a title for his second straight season.
The top Polson girls doubles team of Mollybeth Hendrix and Taylor Rost beat Pirates teammates Karly Rochin and Marlee Congdon in the final to win the championship.
Polson ran away with the team titles, the girls winning their eighth straight divisional and the boys their third straight.
The top four finishers in singles and doubles advanced to the state tournament, held May 22-23 in Billings.
Polson also saw junior Quaid Harlan qualify in boys’ singles and Shannon and Shawna Oakley in girls’ singles.
The Oakleys played each other in the semis, a match that the lower-seeded Shawna won. Both will advance to the state tournament in singles.
