Men’s varsity tennis head coach Bryan Hanan said, “I am really pleased with our performance on Saturday. We played much more aggressively with less errors and more winners.”
According to Hanan, each player on the team played two matches on Saturday and all of them were able to reach the finals in their respective division.
Presley Thieneman, one singles player and senior, said, “[CHS] was able to win at one singles and one and two doubles against North Central but we lost at two and three singles as well as three doubles to [North Central].”
According to Thienman, North Central was CHS’s biggest opponent in the MIC tournament.
