Lady Knights Season Starts Strong

The Lady Knights tennis team has begun the 2011 season 3-0, with school still days away from starting. On Friday August 12th the Knights hosted a four team tournament with Orem, Viewmont and Jordan and came away winning the lions share of matches there. On Weds August 17th the Knights traveled to Herriman High where the Varsity and JV teams both posted impressive 5-0 victories. Leading the Varsity against Herriman were singles players Taylor Calton, Megan Call and team captain Torie Wake. The doubles teams of Kayla White and Lauren Lefrandt and Haley Schettler and Sierra Dew also posted straight set wins vs. their opponents.

 On Friday Aug. 19th the Knights hosted former region rival and last years 5A State runner-up Alta and pulled out a hard fought, 3 hour 3-2 victory on Varsity and the Junior Varsity also won 3-2. Leading the Knights was # 1 singles player and freshman Taylor Calton (6-2,6-0) who was impressive in victory. Megan Call and Kayla White at 2nd and 3rd singles battled their opponents for two hours before falling just short. At 2nd doubles Haley Schettler and Electra Cochran played tough and made great shots en route to their win (6-3, 7-5). The match was now tied and came down to the 1st doubles match which went into a 3rd set. Using great serves and tough net play, Torie Wake and Lauren Lefrandt came away with a three set win that took nearly three hours (6-4,6-7,6-4) to complete. The Knights face Lehi and Bingham next week, followed by American Fork, Maple Mountain and Riverton the following week.

BOYS TENNIS FINISHES SEASON, TAKES 2ND IN REGION

The Lone Peak Boys team finished another successful season in 2011. In Region they finished 8-4 and in 2nd place and held that position after the region tournament where they qualified all seven Varsity players for State. At State on May 13th and 14th there were six of the seven Knight players who had never played at State. In singles Scott Bohne, Tanner Squires and Stafford Thomas all battled hard in the 1st round with only Scott advancing 6-0,6-1. In doubles, Scott Christiansen & Blair Robbins made a spectacular comeback in their 1st match, only to fall just short. At 2nd doubles, Jens Nielsen and Ammon Story lost a tough match to the eventual finalists. So it was up to Scott Bohne to carry the LP banner forward, which he did into the semifinals of 1st singles, where he lost to senior Matt Sweet 4-6,3-6. This ended a great season, a 2nd place finish in Region and getting the entire team qualified for State. 2012 looks to be an even greater year for Lone Peak Boys Tennis!

KNIGHTS TENNIS TAKES 2ND IN REGION,QUALIFIES ALL 7 PLAYERS FOR STATE!

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.
