HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE >> Another Coastal Mountain Conference North tennis match, another dominant performance by the Middletown High School tennis team in a 5-0 victory over Fort Bragg on Wednesday afternoon at the Hidden Valley Lake courts.
Middletown (8-0) won the four contested matches in straight sets. Second doubles was forfeited to the Mustangs.
“Everyone played well and continued to hit the ball well,” Middletown head coach Tony Hart said. “Harrison (Brown) rolled his ankle in warmups and had to go home. I’m not sure of his status, but I’m hoping for a fast recovery.”
In single action, Will Hoskins beat Bryson Fletter 6-1, 6-1 in first singles. Anthony Lopez, moving up to second singles to replace the injured Brown, defeated Kimberly Villalobos 6-1, 6-1. Leland Pike, normally a doubles player, beat Rebecca Valenzuela 6-1, 6-1 in third singles.
In first doubles, Jasiah Pike and Olivia Ruiz won 6-1, 6-3.
Middletown travels to Boonville on Monday to play Anderson Valley.
