The Ridgefield boys soccer team lives to play another two days, at least.
The Spudders survived a penalty-kick shootout to beat Centralia 2-1 in a Class 2A district tournament play-in game on Thursday.
Both teams scored in the first half with Ridgefield’s Simone Ambrosini getting a goal assisted by Zeke Adams.
After a scoreless second half and overtime, Ridgefield prevailed in the penalty kick shootout 4-2.
After placing fifth in the 2A Greater St. Helens League, the Spudders are into the double-elimination district tournament and face 2A GSHL champ Columbia River at 2 p.m. on Saturday.
W.F. WEST 5, WASHOUGAL 0 — The Panthers season came to an end in a 2A district play-in game in Chehalis. W.F. West advances to face 2A GSHL runner-up Hockinson at 5 p.m. Saturday.
Columbia River players win 2A GSHL singles, doubles girls tennis titles
Columbia River sophomore Jenny Serebriakova won her first 2A Greater St. Helens League girls tennis singles title, beating Washougal junior Tessa Townsend 6-1, 6-2 on Thursday at Ridgefield High School.
The three games were the most Serebriakova, last year’s runner up, lost in her four matches at the tournament.
In doubles, last year’s 2A GSHL singles champ Emma Lungwitz and defending doubles champ Sydney Dreves completed their dominating run with a 6-0, 6-1 victory in the final over Ridgefield seniors Abby Vance and Ella Norman.
The River seniors lost just two games in their four matches.
