Troy tennis earns wins on court against Ronan
Phil Johnson | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 10 years, 9 months AGO
Troy’s home tennis meet was cut short by rain Tuesday, but not before a few of the Trojans’ top competitors earned wins.
Top girls doubles partners Katie and Kellie Lundin continued a pattern of quick work against Ronan’s Hannah Bird Rattler and Hannah Kiehn, winning in straight sets. Top boys singles player Michael Goe also won in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1.
“Michael is on a roll,” Troy Coach Milo Rogers said. “He has done a nice job after playing as the number two last season.”
Rogers received exciting news Wednesday when former top singles player Bruce Metz, a senior, said he was going to give tennis another shot.
“I’d love to see him play singles,” Rogers said. “He said something about doubles. Maybe he could play with Luke (Haggerty).”
As for the Lundins, Rogers just wants to see them challenged.
“It would be nice to see them get some good competition in Bigfork,” Rogers said. “They have been focusing on serves, and they already have killer serves.”
The Trojans return to action Saturday in Bigfork.

Libby's conference leading rusher puts team on his back
Announcing Libby Loggers football games this year is a predictable endeavor. With the passing game aching from the absence of graduated All-State quarterback Jared Winslow, the Loggers are a committed ground team. Reminiscent of the era when offenses were pleased with three yards and a cloud of dust, the Loggers run game repeatedly rams the ball right into the teeth of the opposing defense.
