High School Tennis:
Despite being without a number two singles player, the Iola tennis team had a fine showing on Monday in Chanute, finishing the day with a 9-2 overall record.
Elijah Fawson moved back to the number one singles spot after a couple of successful tournaments competing at the number two spot. On Monday he went 4-0.
Fawson opened the tournament with an 8-3 win over Neodeshas Eli Peck. He then beat Columbus Tucker Piene 8-4 and then Labettes Jordan Sutton 8-1. He wrapped things up with an 8-3 win over Chanute.
Jon Miller and Bret Plum-lee reunited at the number one doubles spot for the first time in several tournaments and also ended up 4-0.
Miller and Plumlee started things off with an 8-0 win over Neodesha before following that with a shutout of Columbus. They then won 8-4 over Labette before ending things with an 8-3 win over Chanute.
Eason Cheung and Adryan Nading reunited at the number two doubles spot and while it didnt go as smoothly, they still walked away with a win.
Cheung and Nading started things off with an 8-0 win over Neodesha before the wheels kind of fell off. They then lost to Labette 8-5 and Chanute 8-4. Columbus did not bring a No. 2 doubles team so that technically ended up counting as a win for the Mustangs.
Iola will head back to Chanute on Friday for another tournament.
