HCHS Boy's Tennis Defeats Lewis Central

Click here to listen to my radio report.

The Harlan Community boy’s tennis team hosted Lewis Central on Tuesday, April 10 and won the meet 6-3.

“This was a great win for the team's confidence after getting beat by Denison last week”, Coach Chad Bruns said. “It was nice to see everyone get at least one win today to help our team get the victory."

The top three players of Brock Bruns, Kaleb Kaster and Jonny Cheek all got convincing wins on the day. "These three guys needed singles wins today after starting 0-2 on the season. All three played great tennis, serving well and hitting with confidence," Coach Chad Bruns said. "It was also great to see Lucas and Mitchell get wins at #5 and #6. Lucas' match was a marathon lasting over an hour and a half while Mitchell played great after a shaky start. This was Mitchell's first varsity match so I am sure there were some nerves early on."

The Cyclones had the meet won after singles but did end up losing two out of the three doubles matches. "This was disappointing way to end the day but we still did get the win so we are happy about that," Bruns added. "We just haven't had much time to work on Doubles so we will be focusing on that in the coming days and hopefully we will improve in the coming meets."
The Cyclones, who are now 2-1 on the season, travel to Audubon on Thursday, April 12 and St. Albert's on Friday, April 13.
