WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 2018 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A11 SPORTS Hermiston hosts boys tennis district matches Three girls will compete in state tournament By ALEXIS MANSANAREZ STAFF WRITER HERMISTON — The 5A Special District 1 Boys Ten- nis Championships wrapped up Saturday at Armand Lar- ive Middle School. Seven teams, including Hermiston and Pendleton, competed over Friday and Saturday at Hermiston High, Sandstone Middle School and ALMS. The Bulldogs had three seeded entries: No. 8 Hayden Cissna in sin- gles, and doubles pairs No. 4 Patrick Wicks and Thomas McCullough and No. 7 Matt Eckhardt and Trent Pitney. Cissna made it the far- thest out of any local player and was Hermiston’s only placer. He finished sixth after a tough match against Summit on the final day of competition. “It’s been such an accom- plishment just getting to sixth (place) and being able to play someone like that in the last round, it really made me emotional,” Cissna said. “But once I started focus- ing in, it really brought my game together and the pres- sure just added to me doing STAFF PHOTOS BY KATHY ANEY Hermiston’s Patrick Wicks makes a forehand shot Saturday at the district championships in Hermiston. my best.” Cissna’s Day 2 started early with a 9 a.m. match against TJ Fourneir of Mountain View where he took an 8-6 victory. The win pitted him against Summit’s Cade Doan in the fifth-sixth place match. Doan topped Cissna, 6-1, 6-4, but the Bulldog’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. The long rallies and grit in the second set impressed Hermiston head coach Shann West. “I thought Hayden played the best tennis I’ve seen him play,” West said. “It’s always nice to see people rise to the occasion for events like this and the kid he was playing has obviously played a lot more tennis, but he (Cissna) had his mindset right. “He was determined to get that win so that was awe- some to see him show some excitement and some emo- tion when he was playing and do something special and place for us.” Before Cissna wrapped up the day for Hermiston, Wicks and McCullough had a match of their own to play. The duo fell into the conso- lation bracket after Day 1, and handily defeated their competition to face Bend’s Magnus L’Argent and Kyle Taylor in the consolation finals. “They got stuck in the tough bracket,” West said of the duo’s first day. “The atmosphere of that was championship style match play, unfortunately we came up a little short but glad they were able to go out of the winners bracket playing the best tennis.” The senior pair only gave up two games en route to the finals and then defeated Bend, 6-3, 6-2, for their last match as Bulldogs. “It felt really good,” Wicks said. “The four years being together, it was a really good time.” Hermiston’s Eckhardt and Pitney made it through the first round of play after winning the tiebreaker, Hermiston’s Hayden Cissna makes a forehand shot Saturday at the district championships in Hermiston. 7-5, 4-6, 14-12, but were knocked out in Round 2 by a tough Hood River duo. No other Bulldog made it past the first round and neither did any Pendleton Buckaroos. Summit swept the dou- bles competition with four pairs advancing to state, and in singles play Hood River Valley took the top two spots followed by Bend and Summit. With the boys hosting the district champions in town, the girls team trav- eled to Bend to play some tough competition in hopes of making it to state. Senior Mackenzie Hill will be pitted against Chur- chill sophomore Youha Tanaka in Round 1 of state. Hill advanced to the state tournament after earning the fourth and final quali- fying spot. Doubles pair of Reed Middleton and Breena Wadekamper will be fac- ing a tough draw in No. 2 seeded duo from Corvallis, Olivia McGough and Sarah Forester. The state tournament will begin Thursday. SOFTBALL Locals earn state berths at district track meets right back in the fifth when Kirah McGlothan scored following a groundout to shortstop from Alexi Bre- haut for a 4-3 lead. But for the most part, the bats were stymied by Hermiston pitching. Noland picked up the win in the circle as she threw three innings of shutout relief with only one hit allowed. She gave up a one-out double in the sev- enth to Kirah McGlothan, but stranded her with a strikeout and a groundout to end the inning. Noland relieved senior Julissa Almaguer, who returned Friday after miss- ing most of the season with a knee injury and tossed four innings with three strikeouts and allowed four runs. Greenough was thrilled to see Almaguer back in the circle, on senior day no less. “This team trusts her so much and it’s nice to see them relax when she can play for them,” Greenough said. “Just having her back whether she’s full-go, whether she’s a little here and there, she’s just so valuable to this program.” The loss for Pendleton also snaps its 22-game win HERMISTON HERALD Continued from Page A9 STAFF PHOTO BY KATHY ANEY Pendleton third baseman Kalan McGlothan looks in disbelief at the umpire who signals that Hermiston’s Kylie Green is safe during Friday’s league finale. streak this season, though coach Tim Cary did not appear to be too upset with the defeat. “It might be the best thing for us,” Cary said. “I think that our focus in practice has been kind of ho-hum; I think things have been relatively easy for us for quite some time and sometimes when you win, win, win you forget you have to work hard for it. “This might be good to get us refocused, get back to hard work and under- stand that anybody can beat any team on any given day, and Hermiston proved that today.” It’s a momentous win for the Bulldogs, who will hit the road next week for a road play-in game, the kind of win that can lift a team to do some special things in the postseason. But until then, the Bull- dogs are going to enjoy the long-awaited victory over Pendleton. “We beat the No. 1 team,” Noland said in dis- belief. “We finally did it.” ———— R H E PHS 003 010 0 — 4 6 2 HHS 000 300 2 — 5 7 1 (P) L.
