PREP TENNIS: Port Angeles’ Alex Brown does well at district tournament

BREMERTON — Port Angeles’ Alex Brown will play Monday for the chance to be the first alternate at the 2A boy tennis state tournament in May after a nice showing at the West Central District tournament at the Kitsap Tennis and Athletic Center.

Brown had a productive first day at the district tournament on Friday, going 2-1.

“Alex is playing his best tennis of the year,” Port Angeles coach Brian Gundersen said following the opening day of districts.

Brown started with a victory against Drew Porter of Franklin Pierce in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 6-4), followed by a loss to Lindbergh’s Alan Kwiatowski 0-6, 0-6.

In a loser-out match, Brown dropped the first set, but battled back to win in three sets against Angelo Ocampo of Renton 6-7, 6-4, 7-6

The tournament will conclude Monday with Brown taking on Drew Porter of White River.
