Aberdeen 79, Centralia 38

Aberdeen continued to best league opponents, picking up a convincing 79-38 win over Centralia on Tuesday at Highland Golf Course in Cosmopolis.

PREP TENNIS

Montesano coach pleased with progress this season

Montesano head coach Theresa Helland wasn’t sure what type of team she had entering this season as the Bulldogs featured a team comprised of student-athletes new to the sport of tennis.

As Montesano now nears the conclusion of the season, Helland has been pleasantly surprised with the performance of the 2-6 Bulldogs.

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect this season,” she said. “I was very impressed with season we had and how well we competed all year. … I am so proud of our team and the effort and improvement from both our Varsity squad JV squad.”

Montesano will be losing three seniors — Hali Bradshaw, Landree Dohrmann and Sophi Kupka — which Helland says “will all be missed.”

Montesano wraps up the regular season against Three Rivers Christian at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in Montesano.
