Braxton Cordova took a swing at the ball during a match in Green River against Powell on Friday.
After falling to a strong Jackson team in their first meet of the season, Green River's girls and boys tennis teams took the long bus ride north to Gillette to take on Thunder Basin and Campbell County high schools.
The girls were swept by Thunder Basin, though they had a couple of close doubles games. Against Campbell County the Lady Wolves #3 doubles team of Raygan Cochrun and Jocelyn Peterson won a close match 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker) and 7-5.
The boys swept their matches with both Campbell County and Thunder Basin, winning 5-0 led by their #1 and #2 players from Braxton Cordova and Korbin Arnell.
The Wolves then hosted Powell and Cody in afternoon meets this past Friday. For the Lady Wolves against Powell, Green Rivers #1 singles player Brianna Strauss won in three sets. The Lady Wolves lost to Powell 4-1 but showed improvement against the Panthers. The Lady Wolves were shut out against a solid Cody team with several competitive sets.
The boys team defeated Cody in a close match 3-2 with both their top singles players winning along with their #1 doubles team of Zach Friel and Taylon Tirrell. The Wolves then swept Powell 5-0 to end an excellent week of tennis.
Head Coach Phil Harder commented: "Our kids, both boys and girls, improved from the previous week with their play and knowledge of the game."
Coach Harder went on to say that "our boys stepped up and beat a really good Cody boys team. Our girls are young and starting to come together and play better tennis," he exclaimed.
Next up for the Wolves will be the teams from Casper this Friday.
