Libby Logger tennis split a season-opening duel with Polson and Hamilton.

“I told the kids our one goal was to get better from when we started the day until we left, and each kid did that,” Coach Kyle Hannah said. “After 10 days of practice, it was a strong start.”

Freshmen Cody Wood, Colin Maloney and Katie Alspaw picked up their first varsity victories.

“Katie had one of our biggest victories over the weekend,” Hannah said. “The kids are staying after practice and wanting to do more on their own to get better. It’s great as a coach.”

The Loggers resume action 9:30 a.m. Saturday when they host Troy and Hamilton.
