Wolves tame Tigers, defeat Natrona

Two contests at home proved the Green River High School tennis team has what it takes to be competitive, earning victories over Rock Springs and Natrona County last week.

Head tennis coach Phil Harder said he was pleased with how his team played Thursday and Friday, saying the young team has worked hard throughout the month. That hard work has paid dividends to the team.

"They're doing well, boys and girls both," Harder said.

Against Rock Springs, the only game the Wolves dropped was the girls singles match where Sasha Bentley defeated Haylen Cordova. Against Natrona, the Wolves won a majority of their matches, with the girls losing the singles No. 1 and doubles No. 2 match, while the boys lost their doubles No. 1 match.

The tennis team will take on the Tigers a second time at Rock Springs High School Thursday, then travel to compete in Rawlins Friday.
