The Libby Loggers tennis team has seen a lot of Bigfork lately. After Bigfork took part in the Libby Invitational on April 25, the teams have squared off at each other’s home courts the last two weeks.
Libby split at Bigfork on Tuesday, with the boys winning five of seven matches and the girls falling 6-1.
The Loggers swept their singles matches against the Vikings and No. 1 singles player Walter Briones remains undefeated for another week winning in straight sets against Tyler Zavala. Cody Wood, Kody Bailey and Jhamaal Sykes provided the team with three more victories.
Erik Lauer and Braydan Thom teamed up to get a win in doubles play.
The Valkyries proved to be too much for the Lady Loggers once again. Paula Fernadez pulled out the lone victory for the girls by defeating Carlee Park 6-1, 6-4.
After winning her first set 6-2, Kaylene Hudson lost the next two sets by the same score to Lana Berg.
