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.
