RO BOYS TENNIS
Tigers eighth at H-10 tennis tournament
The Glenwood boys placed ninth at the Hawkeye 10 Conference Boys Tennis Tournament at Graham Park in Carroll last Monday.
Shenandoah won the team title behind a sweep of the doubles brackets with Luke Daoust and Ryan Lawrence winning the No. 1 doubles title and Drew Morelock and Levi Rystrom winning No. 2.
The Tigers finished with nine team points for eighth.
“With a fifth place finish last year, eighth place is a little disappointing, but tournament play is heavily dependent on how lucky you are with the draw and your performance in the first round. Getting off to a slow start in the morning hurt our point potential, but I am proud of the way our boys rallied as we played much stronger in the afternoon.”
The Tigers’ duo of Ethan Strunk and Dillan Rydberg placed fourth in the No. 2 doubles bracket, and Brett Erickson and Landon Gigstad placed fifth in the No. 1 doubles bracket.
