Over half  the season has gone by with several meets for the boys tennis players. The boys are working hard to finish out the season strong and be prepared for what is yet to come. The goal for each meet is the same; keep improving and be prepared for Conference.

The latest dual the boys played was on the Sept. 24 against York. Sophomore Colin Flyr of Columbus High felt that he and his partner played a nice doubles match. However, they lost this dual 8-3. Sophomore Austin Pick of Columbus High felt that he and his partner also played well. They lost their match 6-1. The team overall lost the duel against York 0-9.

Coach Bethune feels that the team needs to learn from their mistakes. They address their mistakes at practice in order to improve.

¨At each of the meets, the team had good footwork. They could work on their communicating skills during the doubles matches,¨ said Bethune.

Good luck to the boys tennis team as they prepare for more upcoming meets.
