MILL CREEK – Jackson separated itself from co-leader Shorewood with a 4-3 Wesco South boys tennis victory Friday.
The Timberwolves improved to 7-1 in the division and overall, while Shorewood dropped to 6-2, 6-2. Jackson remained tied with Edmonds-Woodway for first place in the division standings. Shorewood is tied for third with Kamiak and Shorecrest.
After an evenly played first set won by Jackson’s Richard Oam 7-5, Shorewood’s Nomar Mapalo bounced back to take the final two sets of the No. 1 singles match 6-4, 6-4 to give the Thunderbirds an early edge.
