Boys tennis packs in three matches in preparation for districts
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The boys tennis team had
a week packed full, with
three matches to help them
prepare for the district cham-
pionships. Sisters edged
Klamath Union (KU) 10-8 in
sets won on Tuesday, May 5,
and at home three days later
defeated Mt. View 5-3. On
Saturday, the Outlaws had
a very rough day, and were
blanked 0-8 at Ridgeview.
The home match against
KU on Tuesday was very
close, with both teams post-
ing four wins, but the Outlaws
prevailed with sets won.
The key individual match
of the day was at No. 1 sin-
gles, where Colin Reinert
defeated Hayden Lam 7-6
(7-5) 6-3 in a very hard-
fought match. Lam is the son
of the KU coach, and boasts
a tremendous forehand, and a
very good serve. Hayden won
the district doubles tourna-
ment last year and hopes to
repeat this year. Lam chose to
play against Reinert in No. 1
singles to tune up his doubles
game.
“Colin won by playing
superb defense, and was mov-
ing better on the court than
I’ve seen him move all year,”
said Coach Bim Gander. “He
was able to run down pow-
erful shots from the Lam
forehand. He did extremely
well to win the match.”
Jonny Gurney defeated
David Marsden 7-6 (7-5), 6-3
in a very close match. The
key in Gurney’s match was
the tie-breaker. Jonny came
back from a 4-0 deficit and
won in a great comeback.
Connor Schaab, who usu-
ally plays singles, teamed
up with Billy Biggers, his
doubles partner from last
year. The duo won big at
No. 2 doubles against Gabe
Johnson and Michael Ferns
with a score of 7-5, 6-1.
Ben Johnson and Gabe
Willitts rounded out the wins
at No. 3 doubles, with an easy
6-2, 6-2 victory over Riley
Sommers and Adam Rooney.
Gander said, “We have
three doubles teams that
are very comparable in
ability. This means that
Ethan (Stengel) and Shawn
(Horton), who play No. 1,
always have a tough row to
hoe, but that makes it easier
for our No. 2 and No. 3 dou-
bles teams.”
Andrew Stengel and Gus
Gyorgyfalvy had a very close
match against Matt Osgood
and Nic Maurer at No. 4
doubles. The combo put out a
great effort and won the first
set 6-2. They lost the second
set 1-6, and then fell 8-10 in
the super-tie-breaker.
“The fact that these guys

won the first set was suf-
ficient to give us the team
win,” said Gander.
Three days later, against
Mr. View, the Outlaws swept
the singles matches for the
first time this season.
Reinert (No. 1 singles)
dominated play in his 6-2, 6-1
win over Grant Miller.
“Colin’s experience was
clearly evident,” stated
Gander. “No matter what his
opponent threw at him, he
managed it, and dealt with it
very effectively.”
Michael Commins (No. 2
singles) easily defeated John
Pfister 6-2, 6-1.
“Michael was super
steady, and had absolute
great footwork,” said Gander.
“Putting yourself in the right
position to make the shot
is critical, and Michael has
really improved dramatically
in that respect.”
Gurney (No. 3 singles)
posted the same score as his
teammates at the No. 1 and
No. 2 spot, with a 6-2, 6-1
win over his opponent, Tye
Leahy.
“Jonny is a great athlete,
and his movement on the
court overcomes his lack
of experience,” commented
Gander.
Pierce Wehrle rounded out
the singles wins at the No. 4
spot, with his 6-1, 6-1 win
over Connor Davenport.
“Pierce usually plays dou-
bles, and this was his first
time at singles,” said Gander.
“It was just extraordinary
how well he converted. I
thought it would be difficult
for him, but it turned out to be
a piece of cake.”
Schaab and Biggers, who
splits his time between ten-
nis and track, played at No.
2 doubles for just the second
time this season. The combo
easily prevailed against Adi
Wolfenden and Austin Pfeifer
in a final score of 6-0, 6-1.
“Their experience from
playing together last year
continued,” said Gander.
“They continued without a
beat and overwhelmed their
opponents. These guys started
last year at No. 4 doubles,
and rose to the No. 2 spot,
and they are better than ever.
They picked up right where
they left off last year.”
Sisters wrapped up their
week with a 0-8 loss at
Ridgeview.
