The Crook County High School girls tennis team was scheduled to play in a tournament in Bend last Friday and Saturday, however, rain delayed the tournament so Cascade and Crook County moved their match to Prineville.
As a result both teams were no longer in the tournament. The Cowgirls rolled past the Cougars 6-2. In addition, the two teams played a fifth doubles match, which was also won by the Cowgirls.
In singles action, Sami Ramos blanked Sophia Mendez Marines 6-0, 6-0 in No. 1 singles to get things rolling for the Cowgirls.

Kristianna Boyum then outlasted Cascade’s Giulia Favetta 7-5, 7-5 to finish a Crook County sweep of the singles matches.
The Cougars fared better in doubles play.
