PITTSBURG — A little wind did little to knock Riccardo Barbarossa off his game Thursday.
The foreign exchange student in his junior year at Iola High School, blew past his competition Thursday at the Pittsburg Invitational Tennis Meet.
Barbarossa won all four of his matches to earn the gold medal in the No. 1 singles division.
“It was a very windy day for tennis, but everyone played well and had a good time,” Mustang head coach Chris Belknap said.
Junior Sam Fager continues to progress as a singles player after starting the year as part of a doubles team. He went 0-4, but that mark belied the competitive nature of the matches, Belknap said.
