The Wolf Point tennis squad began its campaign with action in Chinook at Friday, April 1, and at home against Baker on Saturday, April 2.
Weather conditions were cold and windy in Chinook.
“With only three returners and the rest playing their very first matches, I am extremely happy with their effort. Varsity Mahala MacDonald, Hamyanie Campbell, Laykin Cantrell and Claire Kinzie all played very hard and got better as the day went along,” coach Dan Horsmon said.
