Othello got past Selah 3-2 in CWAC tennis action Saturday. The Huskies were led by their No. 1 doubles team senior Daishawn Roylance and junior Macy Hampton who blanked Elsie Dibble and Ashlynn Hall 6-0, 6-3.
“Daishawn and Macy are playing well,” coach Robert Pruneda said. “They are they team to beat in the league this year in my opinion.”
The No. 2 doubles team of Janae Freeman and Jenny Walker got past Clara Beth Hamill and Hannah Walker 2-6, 6-0, 6-3. Third doubles Alyssa Freeman and Janiese Alvarez beat Tanna Bond and Courtney Stadley 6-2, 6-2.
The Huskies singles didn’t fare as well and both dropped their matches. No. 1 singles Julissa Cantu lost in two sets 1-6,1-6 to Mary Francis Ballow. No.2 singles Amayeli Diaz fell to Tyler Ann Darling by identical scores.
“Julissa is a freshman. She’s good, but and has never played singles.” Pruneda said. “Amayeli is new to singles as well.”
The win over the Vikings moves Othello to 3-0 on the early season.
“We’re off to a good start so far,” Pruneda said. “We have are three- time consecutive league champs and are working hard to make it four in a row.”
Othello hit the road to Yakima Tuesday to take on the East Valley Red Devils, but the results of the match were not available at press time.
