After sitting for two days thanks to constant rain, the Coupeville High School girls’ tennis team decided the final two members of its six-player district tournament squad Saturday.

Playing in front of an impressive crowd for an inter-squad rumble, Jacki Ginnings and Wynter Thorne pulled out a barn burner win over Micky LeVine and Valen Trujillo.

The 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory propels Ginnings and Thorne into the #2 doubles slot for Tuesday’s district tourney at Langley, where the Wolf duo will face off with opponents from schools such as South Whidbey, Blaine and Friday Harbor.

While he wasn’t cheering for either side in an effort to be neutral, CHS coach Ken Stange was pleased with the hustle, effort and aggression he saw play out on the court.

“One of the things I enjoyed about the match was that all four girls were extremely competitive,” Stange said. “They played aggressive tennis and would even question a close call.

“However, throughout the whole match, all four girls displayed a genuine respect for each other,” he added. “Both teams took turns winning and losing, but the positive comments were constant from both sides.”

Ginnings and Thorne will join #1 doubles duo Sydney Autio and Sydney Aparicio and singles players Allie Hanigan and Maureen Rice in making the trip down-Island.
