For the 8th time in 11 years, the Lone Peak Boys have won the Region title. (See picture at Bottom of the Blog)
After dropping their first two matches (non-region) in close contests this year, the Knights reeled off 11 wins in their next 12 matches. Going into the region tournament held on 5/1 & 5/2 the Knights held a 2 point advantage over 2nd place Bingham. In the Region tournament the Knights came to play as they accumulated 20 of 25 possible points, distancing themselves from the rest of the Region. All Varsity players are going to State! At the Region tournament, Freshman Brocton Andrus completed an undefeated Region season by winning the 1st singles crown in convincing fashion. At 2nd singles, Senior Blair Robbins battled to the championship match and fought valiantly for 3 sets before losing his match. Junior Derek Schetselaar had a tremendous tournament and won the 3rd singles title in straight sets. At 1st doubles, Ammon Story and Ben Bearss took home a 3rd place finish, while at 2nd doubles, Lucas Wale and Matt Zwick were region champions in a straight set victory. Kudo's during the regular season go to seniors Will Stoddard and Cole Ellison who filled in on some Varsity matches as well as Big Kudo's to Colton Carrier who played several matches on Varsity, admirably filling in for Varsity players who were injured.
The theme of this years team has been hard work and perseverance as they have had to overcome injuries as well as tough competition. The State tournament begins on May 10th @ Liberty Park.
