Polson's McGuinness, Ellis 4-0 in net play
POLSON — The Polson girls split while the Polson boys lost twice in prep tennis Saturday.
The Polson girls blanked Missoula Loyola 6-0, but fell to Corvallis 4-3. Loyola and Corvallis beat the Polson boys by 3-0 and 5-2 scores. It was the fourth dual for Polson over two days.
Polson’s Shea McGuinness and Berkley Ellis are both 4-0, going 3-0 in singles and 1-0 in doubles. For the boys, Kendal Forman-Webster and Joe McDonald battled hard in No. 1 singles play.
Polson coach Bob Hislop said coaches and players put in 250-300 hours getting snow removed from the six courts over a two week period. “I was scared to death after two weeks of that, we would get a couple of rain outs,” Hislop said. Instead, “a lot of sunburn” he added.
On Friday, Polson’s boys and girls swept Libby (those results were in the Saturday Inter Lake).
