North Bend’s boys tennis team topped visiting North Eugene 5-3 on Tuesday.
The Bulldogs got wins in three of the singles matches and in the final two doubles matches to take the team victory.
North Bend senior Cody Ferguson kept his season record perfect by beating Andrew Daughtery 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 singles.
Duy Tang and Nathan Kahler also recorded straight-sets singles wins for the Bulldogs.
North Bend’s No. 3 doubles team of Chris Cipolla and Zack Reichenberger won a tough three-set match, while Jeramy Dubisar and Travis Bernardini also won their match.
A story in last Tuesday’s edition of The World incorrectly identified Ferguson as a junior. The standout was state champion as a freshman and runner-up as a sophomore.
Pirates top Highlanders
Marshfield shut out North Eugene 8-0 on Tuesday.
The Highlanders were shorthanded and, as a result, forced to forfeit three singles matches and one doubles match. However North Eugene played several players twice so the Pirates could have exhibition matches.

“Zaq worked really hard out there today,” said Marshfield coach Paula Massie.
Rounding out the exhibition singles victories for the Pirates were Jeff Stephens and David Stys.
No. 2 doubles was an exhibition match that saw Jamey Moriarty and David Perrin go into another third-set super tiebreaker, emerging victorious with a 10-5 score in the final set.
Rounding out doubles play were Marshfield winners Brandon Benson and Brogan Trull; Josh Bott and Brealan Mosieur; and Andre Van Rooyen and Michoe Montgomery.
