Aberdeen’s Ancich qualifies for state tournament

Aberdeen senior Charlie Ancich shot a two-day total of 164 to place 12th overall at the 2A District Tournament on Monday and Tuesday at the Orchard Hills Country Club in Washougal.

In a large field of 175 golfers on Monday, Ancich led a six-player Bobcats contingent by shooting a blistering 38 on the front-9 before finishing Day 1 with a score of 80.

Ancich followed with an 84 in Round 2 to qualify for the state meet May 23-24 (course to be determined).

“Charlie was sitting pretty good with his Day 1 score, so he was able to play his game and not have to stress about picking up strokes on the field,” Aberdeen head coach Dan Sundstrom said.

Aberdeen’s Baylor Ainsworth (90-91-181) and Hunter Eisele (93-93-186) joined Ancich in making the cut after the first round.

“Baylor put together a solid round on the front-9, but he knew he had to pick up strokes on the back. Overall, Baylor had a very successful district tournament,” Sundstrom said. “Hunter won the consistency award. He shot the same score on both days.”

Bobcats golfers Trevon Nichols (97), Trevon Ramos (101) and Luke Niemi (108) missed the cut at the end of the first round.

Centralia’s Von Wasson won the tournament with a 1-over par 141, defeating Columbia River’s Noah Larson on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff to claim the district title.

Columbia River won the team title with 149 points.

Ocosta 2, Napavine 1

A charged-up Ocosta Wildcats team earned one of its biggest wins of the season, picking up a come-from-behind 2-1 win over 8th-ranked Napavine on Senior Night Wednesday in Westport.

The No. 16 Wildcats (8-7-1, 6-4 2B Central-North) fell behind 1-0 in the first half on a goal from Grace Pancake off a feed from Hayden Kaut in the 19th minute.

In the second half, Ocosta switched formations, adding another forward to apply more pressure to the Tigers defense.

Ocosta forward Miki Ness scored off a rebound in the 58th minute to tie the game.

In the final minute of the contest, a Napavine handball in the penalty area gave Ocosta a penalty kick. Ness stepped up and slotted home the eventual game-winner for the rousing 2-1 victory.

“We’ve been improving our play in recent weeks and the girls really wanted to get the win for the seniors. Napavine is one of the top teams in the state and we were able to get them out of their offensive rhythm,” Ocosta head coach Mike King said, citing the play of seniors Ness, Natalie Carloza, Liv Bartley, Meghan Denny, Taeler Jardine and Nevaeh Smith on Senior Night. “We’ll miss them next year, but they still have goals to accomplish this year.”

Ocosta travels to Onalaska on Tuesday for a loser-out 2B District 4 Tournament game (time to be determined).

The game will also mark the long awaited return of Ocosta standout midfielder Kylee Denny, who has been out for approximately two-thirds of the season with a broken ankle.
