PREP BOYS' TENNIS: LHS goes 2-0 at Fairmont

FAIRMONT —Luverne’s boys’ tennis team went 2-0, pushing the Cardinals’ record to 6-0 on the season, at a triangular Saturday, defeating Winona Cotter and Fairmont both 5-2.

“Our doubles teams really stepped up today and looked very good,” LHS coach Greg Antoine said. “As good as it turned out (Saturday), there are still quite a few things we need to work on and clean up in both singles and doubles such as coming to the net at the right times, finishing off points when we have the chance, making your opponent move to egt to the ball and reading the other players’ body position to be able to anticipate where the next shot is going to be hit to.”

Dustin Deutsch won at No. 2 singles, Jonny Vajrt won at No. 3 singles, Scott Nelson and Blake Ziegler won at No. 1 doubles, Matt Arends and Austin Stroeh won at No. 2 doubles and Hunter Robinson and Eric Wohnoutka won at No. 3 doubles for Luverne versus Winona Cotter.
