Post date: Mar 08, 2019 3:10:6 AM

On March 7th, the Varsity Braves Tennis team kicked off their season with a non-conference match at Bishop Kelly.  Due to weather conditions this spring the team has not had many days outside to practice, but that couldn't dampen our spirits.  Boise High walked away with a 6-5 victory with both the girls and boys teams winning 3-2.5  

The Braves got a big win from Anna Matthews at #1 singles.  It was a tough hard fought match.  The Byrne Brothers(Nick and JJ) teamed up at #1 doubles, while Jenn and Greta dominated at the #1 position on the girls side.  Kent Knothe played phenomenally in a win at #2 singles.  It was great to see the improvement from last year.  Avery Samer and Allison Gee took down their opponents 6-1,6-0.  And lastly Pete Bard and Erik Vettergren played great to get our final win at #2 doubles.

We had some awesome play in the matches that went the other way, and we couldn't be more proud of the way each player fought every point.  We are so excited about the upcoming season.  

Play of the Match goes to Pete Bard for an amazing drop shot on the run after his doubles partner was lobbed.
