Wins by Liza Hopkins in the No. 1 singles match and Maddie Corwin and Maya O’Dell in the No. 1 doubles match weren't enough to push Centralia to victory as the Tigers fell, 4-2, on the road to Black Hills Tuesday.

“This was a tough match and both teams were dealing with gusty winds throughout the match,” Centralia coach Deb Keahey said. “Overall, I was really pleased with all the girls and their performance. They fought for every point and every game and it showed on the court.”
