The South Whidbey tennis team tried once again to play a match, this time against Anacortes at home on Monday. Before the match was rain cancelled, Riley Newman won 6-0, 6-0 and Van Morgen won his match 6-1, 6-2.
“We played Anacortes for almost an hour before the rains came,” Falcon coach Tom Kramer explained. “Today we head to Burlington and Wednesday Ferndale is here.”
If both matches play out, that will end the regular season. District action begins at Sehome at noon Saturday, Oct. 25.
