The W.F. West boys tennis team got another crack at Tumwater at home on Wednesday, but the T-Birds topped the Bearcats 5-1.

First singles: Bodie Jackson (TUM) over Will Cummings (WFW) 6-3, 7-5

Second singles: Kieran Cox (TUM) ove Braden Newman (WFW) 6-4, 6-3

Third singles: Matt Merchant (TUM) over Sawyer Cothern (WFW) 6-2, 6-3

First doubles: Javyn Han/Bryce Kuykendall (WFW) over Cody Lambert/Kaleb Peterson (TUM) 6-1, 6-3

Second doubles: Max Bunn/Luke Houk (TUM) over Andre Tseng/Jaxon Velazquez (WFW) 6-0, 6-0

Third doubles: Henry Walter/Thomas Williams (TUM) over Ryan Bender/Colin Bradley (WFW) 6-2, 7-5

The Bearcats will look to bounce back when they host Aberdeen on Friday, while the T-Birds will head across town to face Black Hills on Thursday.
