Ticket punched for Askelsen and Inglett! They defeated the 1 seed from Lewis Central 6-2, 7-5. So proud of their monster net play and dynamic movement!
Not exactly the ending we envisioned, but we have a lot to be proud of out of today’s performances. Way to represent, Bombers! Two third place finishes and lots of good tennis!
#BallardTennis
Looking forward to another chance on Saturday!
What a day. All five of our qualifiers played until the last match of the day. Sad to have Askelsen/Inglett end their state trip today, but so thrilled to have three moving on to medal day tomorrow. Zugay and Volkmann/Hobbs will hit the courts tomorrow!
So many other peeps responsible for those 75 wins: dedicated assistant coaches, hardworking players, great supporters. Always a team effort. Go Bombers!
Congratulations to Ballard women’s tennis coach, Jen Dovre, who was honored for her 75th career match victories today after last season’s 6-3 win over South Hardin. Congrats Coach Dovre!
