White River’s Zaugg competes in state tennis

The Hornet player was ousted in the third round.

White River High’s Jared Zaugg participated in the Class 2A boys state tennis championships in Seattle.

The event was staged May 25-26 at the Nordstrom Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Washington.

Boys tennis is a fall sport, with its state tourney in the spring.

Zaugg opened his state tourney experience with a 6-0, 6-2 loss to Kyle Beuse of Sedro-Woolley, but kept his hopes alive with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Colton Tenwick of Clarkston. In a loser-out match on Day 2 of the tournament, Zaugg fell in three sets to Kyle Hebbeler of Lindbergh; the Hornet opened with a 6-4 win in the first set, but dropped the next two, also by 6-4 scores.
