Flathead, Glacier netters fall in tourney semifinals
MISSOULA — Rain was a constant companion both days for tennis players from all 14 Class AA school at the Missoula Invitational.
The event was delayed two hours on Friday and rain prevented the tournament from running its full course. Much of semifinal play on Saturday was washed out.
In semifinal matches completed, Liam Johnson of Missoula Big Sky defeated Rory Smith of Glacier at No. 1 boys singles, 6-2, 6-2.
Flathead’s Ryan Thompson was a semifinalist at No. 2 singles, but no results were available.
In doubles, Glacier’s Kyle Buckingham and Akhil Patel were rained out of semifinal play at No. 1.
At No. 2 doubles, Bugsy Kendall and Henry Stahl of Missoula Hellgate defeated Drew Engellant and Micah Heil of Glacier in the semis, 6-3, 6-2.
Missoula Hellgate’s Colton Quirk and Fisher Richardson topped Glacier’s Ben Desmul and Ethan Purdy 6-0, 6-3 at No. 3 semifinal play.
Flathead and Glacier did not have a semifinalist in girls play.
Flathead and Glacier are back on the court Tuesday at FVCC for the second crosstown match of the season.
