GLENWOOD — The Minnewaska boys tennis team showcased their prowess on the court with a stellar performance at a home triangular on April 30. The Lakers secured a convincing 7-0 victory over New London-Spicer and followed it up with a 4-0 win against Osakis before rain interrupted play.

The 2024 season holds promise for Minnewaska, reminiscent of their historic 2022 campaign when they made their first-ever state tournament appearance. Key players like Connor Quelle and Tenzin Dahl, who were instrumental in the team’s previous success, continue to drive the Lakers towards their goal of returning to the state tournament.

Reichmann highlighted the team’s resilience and fighting spirit, emphasizing the importance of self-belief for the young players. As Minnewaska gears up for future challenges, their upcoming triangular at St. John’s Prep on May 2 will be another opportunity to showcase their talent and determination.

Meanwhile, the Osakis boys tennis team faced setbacks at the triangular, with weather interruptions affecting their matches against New London-Spicer and Minnewaska. Despite the challenges, the Silverstreaks displayed a positive attitude and determination, with coach Ryan Maddock commending their efforts.
