BAKER CITY HERALD • THuRsDAY, ApRIL 21, 2022 A7 SPORTS BAKER TENNIS HAS HECTIC WEEK Baker tops Vale, 5-4 BY IAN CRAWFORD icrawford@bakercityherald.com With the weather finally co- operating, the Baker tennis teams are in the midst of a busy week as a result of postponed matches being rescheduled. The Bulldogs are slated to play on five of six days, with Thursday, April 21, the only off day. On Monday, April 18, Baker had its first home match, play- ing host to Weiser, Idaho. The Wolverines won all the matches, although Baker play- ers were competitive in several. “The kids played hard,” Baker coach Amy Younger said. “Weiser is a very skilled and competitive team.” Weiser’s team includes girls singles player Emma Tolman, the 2021 Idaho Class 3A state champion. She beat Sarah Plummer, Baker’s No. 1 singles player, in straight sets. Baker’s top boys singles player, Danny Cunningham, won the opening set against Kolin Cook, but Cook rallied to win the next two sets. “They were tough opponents and that’s what the players need to continue getting better before we have districts,” Younger said. Baker showed improvement the very next day, as the Bull- dogs traveled to Vale on Tues- day, April 19, and won five of the nine matches. In girls singles, Plummer and Isabel Cunningham both won in straight sets. Baker swept the boys singles matches, with Danny Cun- ningham, Caleb Hills and Ash- ton LeTourneau all winning in straight sets. Baker traveled to Parma, Idaho, on Wednesday, April 20, and the Bulldogs will have home matches on Friday, April 22, against Vale, starting at 10 a.m., and Saturday, April 23, against Mac-Hi starting at 11 a.m. All matches are at the Ash Grove courts near the BHS track.
