The Blair High School tennis team competed Saturday during the Ralston Invite in Omaha.
When asked how the Bears played, coach David Christensen said “really good.”
“We had some tough competition today and I thought they competed really well,” he elaborated.
Singles players Abi Lundberg and Fiene Bakker led the way for BHS, earning identical 2-2 match records. Lundberg played No. 1 singles, while Bakker played No. 2 singles.
The Bears' No. 1 doubles team, Abby Leggott and Ally Sullivan, went 1-2, too.
Blair's Angela Roehrs and Roslyn Solano went 0-2 in No. 2 doubles in Omaha as well.
“The JV girls stepped up in the No. 2 doubles spot and had a good showing,” Christensen said.
His team competed Monday against Norris and will next play 4 p.m. today against Omaha Brownell-Talbot.
