The Lone Peak Boys Tennis Team won the 5A State title for the second year in a row with inspired and gritty performances. Every one of the 5 positions scored points on the way to this years title. Four of Lone Peaks 5 positions made it to the State finals. This depth is ultimately what led to a truly TEAM victory.
At 1st singles, Micah Heimuli went up against the toughest opponents each school had and he proceeded to mow down competitors until the final, losing a hard fought match 6-4,6-3.
At 1st doubles, Josh Bearss and Jacob Newell breezed through their opening match before losing 6-4,6-3 to the eventual 5A champions, who lost a total of 2 more games the rest of the tournament.
In 2nd doubles, Ty Tenney and Dallas Rodabough played with great focus and consistency, landing them in the finals at 2nd doubles where they lost a hard fought match to also take 2nd place.
In 2nd singles, Niles Cochran went through the first 3 rounds like a hot knife through butter, not losing a set. In the final, up 6-3, 4-1 he developed cramping in his legs and he valiantly tried to play through them until cramping hit his arm forced him to retire. Niles is a champion in all of our eyes!
At 3rd singles, Logan Wells, playing steady, playing patient and playing composed tennis, tore through his first 3 rounds and in the final he easily dispatched his opponent, 6-1,6-0. Logan not only became our only individual State Champion but his victory also 'sealed the deal' and clinched the State Championship for the team! BACK TO BACK!!
A great job by each of the boys as they defended their title and represented Lone Peak. Special Thanks also to Coach Roger Baumgartner for his tireless efforts to help each boy reach their 'peak' and potential.
Next year the boys will be going for 3 in a row- or the 'Peak Pete'.
2016 State Champions!!
