The Boys tennis team finished their region tournament today, qualifying the entire Varsity team for State next week. The team did well enough today that when tournament and regular season numbers were totaled, we edged out Alta and Pleasant Grove for 2nd place in region.
At the region tournament our Lone Peak team came to play and we had some exciting matches over the 2 day tournament. Qualifying for State next week were Tanner Squires @ 2nd singles and Stafford Thomas @ 3rd singles. At 1st doubles Scott Christiansen and Blair Robbins had the match of the tournament on day one with a 2 1/2 hour match that went to a 3rd set tiebreaker, which turned into a 7-9 heart-breaker loss for Lone Peak. Thirty minutes later they trounced their next opponent 6-0,6-0 to qualify for State. At 2nd doubles Jens Nielsen and Ammon Story also qualified for State as a 2nd seed as they beat out Pleasant Grove for 2nd place. At 1st singles, Scott Bohne faced off against Brightons Keaton Cullimore in the championship match and for the number 1 seeding. Scott played with heart, determination and desire and stood toe to toe in the battle for a large part of the match before eventually succumbing 4-6,2-6.
Practice continues for the Knights as they prepare for State May 13th and 14th @ Liberty Park.
