#1 Singles – Asher Saulsbury 2-1 Runner-up
“Asher played solid his two rounds before falling to last year’s state champion Hunter Nelson. Asher continues to do a great job of using his serve to set himself up early in the point. Asher also did an excellent job of counter-punching. He uses the angle and pace of his opponent well to counter and hit a tough shot back. This was the 3rd year in a row that Asher has reached the conference final.” – KHS Boys Tennis Coach Troy Saulsbury
#2 Singles – Aydan Nelson – 2-1 5th Place
#1 Doubles – Drew Welch/Kyler Eklund 3-1 5th Place
#2 Doubles – Brayden Kohtz/Kyler Nichols 2-2 4th Place
“Brayden and Kyler did an excellent job of hitting their spots today. They played aggressive and hit really strong groundstrokes today. We also did a nice job of moving at the net. Brayden and Kyler avenged an earlier 9-8 loss to Grand Island to win 8-5 today.” KHS Boys Tennis Coach Troy Saulsbury
