Aberdeen 5, Hoquiam 1
Aberdeen completed one of its most successful seasons in recent history with a 5-1 win over Hoquiam on Wednesday at Hoquiam High School.
The Bobcats (10-1) retained the Ehrhart Trophy with the win and were led by standout singles player Sophie Knutson, Kensie Ervin and Madi Ritter, who won by a combined score of 36-0 against the Grizzlies.
The Aberdeen doubles duo of Hadley Durr and Sawyer Shoemaker earned a victory as did the pairing of Cyan Sullivan and Iza Frye.
“Very impressed with how (Durr and Shoemaker) closed out their regular season. They were dialed in today and played smart, quick points,” Aberdeen head coach Ashley Kohlmeier said. “Senior Madi Ritter ended her season undefeated after great, strategic play today. She’s definitely a ringer moving into next week.”
Hoquiam’s win came from the Doubles No. 2 pairing of Juliana Philamalee and Piper Stankavich, which defeated Aberdeen’s Hailey Fuquay and Leticia Alvarenga 6-1, 6-4 in the most competitive match of the event.
Aberdeen now turns its attention to postseason play, which begins on Monday in Tumwater.
“Overall, I am pleased with how the season has gone and proud of the progress we’ve made up and down the ladder,” Kohlmeier said. “Finishing up the regular season against Hoquiam was a fun way to close it out. I can’t look back far enough in any records I have access to to know how long it’s been since we’ve ended the season at the top of the league. We have a great group of young women who are competitive and eager to improve no matter the match score. We are looking forward to a tough postseason and feel up to the challenge ahead.”

GIRLS PREP GOLF
Montesano 195, Fort Vancouver 284
Montesano defeated Fort Vancouver 195-284 on Tuesday at Oaksridge Golf Course in Elma.
The Bulldogs were led by Medalist of the Match winner Makenzie Hart, who shot a 45 for her 9-hole round.
Lucy Scott (45), Makena Blancas (50) and Ashley Hill (51) rounded out Monte’s scorecard in a round where the Bulldogs had to find a way to win despite not having their A-game, according to the coaching staff.
“As a team, they keep coming out and finding ways to score. I don’t think anyone played their best golf today, but with a team with this much talent from top to bottom, they just find ways to ham and egg their way to shoot well as a group,” Montesano assistant coach Loyal Linton said. “The par-5 7th hole seemed to be our biggest bugaboo today, and to shoot these scores with some of the scores on that particular hole is impressive and testament to ability to bounce back from the bad moments during the round.”
Fort Vancouver (284): Carys Ridler 54, Melania Broom 68, n/a 81, n/a 81.
Montesano (195): Makenzie Hart 45, Lucy Scott 49, Makena Blancas 50, Ashley Hill 51.
