BHS tennis teams succeed at TVCC tourney

The Baker girls placed in every event, and the boys in three events.

“The boys did pretty well against some good competition,” said Baker coach George Keister.

“It was a long weekend, but the girls played pretty well,” added assistant coach Jody Averett.

Tournament divisions were divided into No. 1 players, No. 2 players, and No. 3 players both in singles and doubles.

Jordan Curtis, Baker’s No. 2 singles player, did the best in the boys competition.

Curtis won his first two matches before losing 6-2, 6-1 to a Homedale player in the championship match.

“Jordan played a good match,” Keister said.

Ivan Hansen, Baker’s No. 3 singles player, split his first two matches to drop into consolation play.

There, Hansen won two matches to advance to the consolation final where he lost 8-4 to a Parma opponent.

Baker’s No. 1 singles, Dan Sizer, had his hands full against left-handed German exchange players from Payette in his first two matches.

Sizer lost the first match match to drop into consolation play. He won his next match before losing to a Vale player in the second round of consolation.

Jace Rowland, Baker’s second No. 3 singles player, dropped his first two matches.

Baker’s No. 3 doubles team of Jake Payton and Jake Baxter won the consolation championship, defeating a Parma duo 8-4.
