MISSOULA — Columbia Fall’s Cloey Ramage worked her way into semifinals at the Class A State Tennis Tournament on Thursday, as did Whitefish duo Mason Kelch and Dane Hunt.

Polson’s Owen McElwee and Trent Wilson are also in boys doubles semifinals, and so is Northwest A divisional champion Clara Todd. Another Polson representative, Torrin Ellis, will also appear in Friday’s semis.

Ryan Beagle of Libby, also a divisional champion, is unsurprisingly in the semifinals as well.

Polson duo Lucy Violett and Katie Smith lost 6-2, 6-4 to Corvallis’ Jayde Venema and Brecklyn Jessop but are still in contention in the consolation bracket.

Matches are set to begin at 8 a.m. today. Girls and boys singles will be played at the Peak, and boys and girls doubles are at Fort Missoula.
