Tennis

The Eatonville Cruiser boy’s tennis team had an eventful week, highlighted by their victory over Life Christian Academy with a score of 3-2

Carl Lucas and Austen Quirie, the team's top singles players, exhibited impressive playing. Their contributions were crucial in securing the team's hard-fought victory.

The excitement reached its peak in the match when the #1 doubles team, consisting of Brody Thirtyacre and AJ Lightfoot, emerged victorious in a dramatic third-set tiebreaker.

The momentum continued in the doubles category, with other doubles teams achieving wins through tiebreakers. The Nate Goode and Jacob Golding team and the Jackson Rockey and Dana Bazan team secured victories for the team.

However, the week didn't end on a high note, as the Cruisers faced off against Cascade Christian, aiming to avenge an earlier 5-0 loss in the season. Unfortunately, the outcome remained the same, with the Cruisers experiencing another 5-0 loss.

Volleyball
