Bearcat freshman singles player Javyn Han is also one victory away from qualifying for state as well.
In singles on Tuesday, Justin Chung defeated R.A. Long’s Aiden McCoy (6-1, 6-1) in the opening round, then defeated Fort Vancouver’s Jeffrey Troung (6-3, 6-1) to advance to the title match. Chung will face Columbia River’s Matt Rudi on Thursday for the district championship.
Han lost to Troung in the opening round, then defeated McCoy in the loser’s bracket (6-4, 6-1). Han will face Shelton’s Brendan Wagner on Thursday with the winner advancing to the third/fourth-place match and qualifying for state.
On the doubles side, W.F. West’s Chung and Boggess defeated Han and Palmersheim in the opening round (6-0, 6-2), then defeated Kestner and Kneipp (6-1, 6-1). Chung and Bogges will now face Nester and Grubb of Ridgefield for the district championship on Thursday.

The final round of districts is Thursday at Steamboat Tennis and Athletic Club.
