Three members of the Manitowoc Lincoln tennis team will be packing their bags for Madison and the WIAA State Boys Individual Tennis Tournament next weekend.
Ships Coach Bob Feller tells us his state qualifiers are the #1 doubles team of Ayden Knuth and Cohen Newberg who won their first two matches at Thursday’s Sectional over a Kaukauna duo 6-0, 6-1, and 6-4, 7-6 over an Oshkosh West tandem, before dropping the championship match to an undefeated doubles team from Neenah 6-0, 6-1.
Logan Anderson advances at #1 singles after defeating a West Bend East player 6-1, 6-4 in the 3rd place match.
Earlier, Logan had beaten a young man from Appleton West in a ‘3-setter’, before falling in 3-sets to a player from Kimberly.
Lincoln’s two other flights that qualified for the Sectional, Justin Liska and the Rudy Hartlaub/Sam Meyer combination, finished strong with 3rd place finishes but do not move on the state.
Neenah captured the team title at Oshkosh North, followed by Oshkosh West, Kimberly, and Manitowoc Lincoln.
The state tournament will be staged next Thursday through Saturday at Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
