Barlow's Cole Patrick, Ty Stump win boys tennis districts

The Bruins boys tennis faithful were all smiles at the district meet, as a trio of doubles teams fired wicked serves and advanced deep into the tournament — with the crown jewel being a win by an unranked duo.

Barlow juniors Ty Stump and Cole Patrick surged through multi-day bracket to claim gold at the Mt. Hood Conference Boys Tennis Doubles District Tournament Thursday, May 11, besting a talented field including fellow Bruins teams — No. 1 junior Joel Moffat and sophomore Camden Pate, and No. 2 seniors Luke Palau and Jake Stump. In fact, for most of the proceedings it was only Barlow friendly fire that downed the squads.
