First the first time in school history, Bonners Ferry Tennis

Daniel’s racket strings – snapped!

Daniel, playing for Sandpoint junior varsity, ended his season with 17 wins and two losses in boys singles, and playing for Bonners Ferry finished with four wins and four losses. He placed sixth in the district tournament, narrowly missing the cut-off to quality for the state matches.

He fought hard.

“It literally took me to the brink of physical exhaustion.” he said of one match. “To the point where even my racket strings snapped! But, overall, I had a lot of fun, especially playing as a co-op with Sandpoint … it gave me some more experience into the skill and different techniques of different teams and people.”

Playing for the Bulldogs, Kaitlyn had 19 wins and five losses in girl’s doubles, and she had ten wins and two losses for the Badgers, placing third in girl’s singles. Kaitlyn receives the honor of being the first student to ever represent Bonners Ferry High School in the State 4A Tennis Tournament.

“Both kids did very well in their overall records for the season. The future of tennis in Bonners Ferry is still a little uncertain,” Becker said, “but the future of tennis for both of these athletes is bright for sure.”

Katilyn will travel to the state A tournament in Meridian and Nampa for competition beginning on May 16 at the Idaho State Tennis Competition.
Go Badgers!
