Bedda Johnson and Gina Sanders will represent Enumclaw High at the girls district tennis tournament today, Wednesday, at Sprinker Recreation Center in Parkland.

The Hornet duo earned the No. 2 seed into the tournament after closing out the subdistrict tournament Saturday. As the No. 2 seed, they receive a first-round bye to open district play. A second-round win will send them to state May 27 and 28 in the Tri-Cities.

Alex Putman will serve as a district alternate for Enumclaw.

“Everyone played well,” coach Rick Carel said. “They’re young.”

The Hornets ran into stiff competition from Kennedy Catholic.
