Troy Lady Trojans Katie and Kellie Lundin continued a dominant tennis season Saturday when they went undefeated at the Western B-C girls divisional tournament.
The identical twin seniors beat Bigfork’s Kayla Casalegno and Alauna Weilacher in the semifinals. With the divisional title on the line, the Lundins beat Alanis Stallknecht and Brooke Bonner, also of Bigfork.
“Their serves are really on and they are hitting the ball hard,” Troy Assistant Coach Nancy Prieve said. “They have a lot more power than the other teams. They don’t look like it, because they are so skinny, but they are strong. The Bigfork girls were trying to lob, but Katie and Kellie can lob, too. Their first serve is a big weapon.”
The Lundin girls, as well as all eight varsity boys, will advance to the state tournament in Missoula. The three-day event begins Thursday.
“The girls took sixth-place last season,” Prieve said. “I know they want to improve on that.”

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.
