Watertown boys tennis sweeps Aberdeen Roncalli, SF Roosevelt in home triangular.
The home opener for the 2023 Watertown High School boys tennis team couldn't have went any better on Tuesday at the Highland Park courts.
The Arrows improved 7-2 on the season with 9-0 wins over Aberdeen Roncalli and Sioux Falls Roosevelt.
"It was nice to finally get to play at home," said Watertown head coach Ryan Zink. "I was happy with our doubles play against Roncalli to get things started and that carried over into some good singles play. Against Roosevelt, we struggled a bit to start."
Curtis Sneden, Mark Mahowald, Evan Meester, Justin Remmers, Tyler Dingsor and Joey Meester each went 2-0 singles for Watertown. Sneden-Mahowald, E. Meester-Remmers and Dingsor-Sam Karst each won both of their doubles matches.
"Tyler, Sam and Joey won all of their matches today," added Zink. "They had no varsity experience coming into the season and they continue to improve with each match. Curtis, Mark, Evan and Justin each also played well today."
Monday's triangular is part of a busy stretch for the Arrows, who play Rapid City Central at Brookings on Thursday and also visit Sioux Falls Washington for a triangular on Friday.
