On the home court, the Atlantic boys’ tennis team rolled to 4-3 after sweeping all matches against the Harlan Cyclones on Monday. The winless Cyclones had been swept three times prior this season.

One highlight came from junior Jesse Reid (#2), who edged his opponent in tiebreak, 7-1. Also, senior Avery Andersen (#6) had his first shutout win against the Cyclones. Finally, junior Nile Petersen (#1) and sophomore Grant Sturm (#5) maintained their unbeaten status, with 10-7 and 10-1 victories, respectively.

In doubles, the #1 duo of Petersen and junior Brody O’Brien topped their opponents, 10-5. Reid and G. Sturm at #2–as well as sophomore Ethan Williams and freshman Ethan Sturm at #3–claimed commanding 10-1 wins. This was the third time the boys’ team 9-0’ed a squad this season.

In other boys’ tennis action, the top six JV players–E. Sturm, Bodie Johnson, Jacob Park, Chris Krogh, Hunter Weppler, and Dayton Templeton–competed in a dual against Audubon on Tuesday. Though Atlantic’s JV participated, Audubon brought their varsity team. The JV boys were swept 9-0 by the Wheelers, though many scores were close across the board.

The varsity squad is back in action on Thursday in Red Oak. The Tigers sit at 3-3, and in the middle of the conference pack. Play starts at 4:30 p.m.
