The Spirit Lake-Okoboji Boys tennis team defeated Storm Lake,
7-2, yesterday. Brandon Stoll, Andrew
Ites and Tyler Schmitz all picked up singles wins for the Indians. Stoll and Scmitz were doubles winners, as
were Riley Smith and Michael O’Brien.
Comments from Coach Dan Taylor:
“It was nice
to have a home meet again after a couple dual meets in a row on the road,
followed by the Conference Tournament in Storm Lake. And the team played well on our home court,
coming away with a solid 7-2 win against a competitive Storm Lake team. Our top three singles, Stoll, Ites and Wiedow,
all played very well and won convincingly.
Michael O’Brien also played well at #6 and came away with a comfortable
10-3 victory. The matches at 5&6
were much closer, and Tyler was able to pull out a close victory, while CJ
played even with his opponent after the first 3 games, but wasn’t quite able to
come back after getting into an early hole.
All the guys played well in doubles, and we were able to once again win
2 of the 3 matches. Andrew and Trystan
hung with a very good #1 team from Storm Lake, and just about pulled out a
victory. A few more first serves and I
think they would have come out on top.
The guys have done a great job winning a couple duals in a row now after
dropping the close one to Spencer last week, and we have nice momentum building
going into districts on May 9.”
