They only dropped one game in an opening state triumph against South Sioux City’s Andrew Colling and Daxton Grace.
Wiemers provided these season-closing comments:
“As for the season, the varsity finished with a 8-2 dual record, while the junior varsity closed out the season with a 9-1 record. One of the highlights of the season was winning our first conference championship. Not only did the team win the title, but they swept all four divisions with a perfect 5-0 record respectively.
Looking ahead to next year, we return a solid nucleus of our team. Zion will return for his senior season after completing his first season at #1 singles. Logan and Isaac will most likely move up to #1 doubles next season.
We will look at moving Mason to #2 singles next season, as Syd being a senior will graduate after a solid season. With those four returning, we have a greatstar. We also want to thank the awesome support we received from our parents.”
