Atlantic Boys Tennis comes up short at Hawkeye 10 Conference Tournament
April 29th, 2024 by Asa Lucas
On Monday afternoon Atlantic High school hosted the Hawkeye Ten Conference Tournament where the Shenandoah Mustangs took first place and the hometown Trojans earned fourth on the day. Atlantic’s Nolan Waters had the highest finish in singles at fourth finished in number two singles and Kinnick Juhl ended in sixth place at number one singles. With the doubles side at number one Atlantic’s Conner Johnson and Reid Woodward carved a sixth place finish. At number two doubles the pair of Nick Bennett and Gradyn O’Hara put up a scrappy performance to finish in fourth.
Looking back on the day, Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott was impressed by the grit the doubles teams displayed on the day.
Still, Coach McDermott wants to see the Trojans play and swing with more intensity out on the courts.
