Impressive start for Polson net squads

POLSON — A nice day brought out the best in Polson’s tennis squads Saturday as the Pirates dropped Libby 6-1 in a boys dual and 7-0 in girls action.

Polson was 8-0 on the day in singles play.

“Brady (Hislop) and Whitney (Zimmerman) did a nice job at No. 1 singles,” Polson coach Bob Hislop said.

“It was a very nice day, finally, weather wise and lots of good tennis.”

Hislop won 6-0, 6-2 while Zimmerman rolled 6-0, 6-0.

Hayden Congdon and Ian Laimbeer had the most exciting match in the dual, topping Lane Luscher and Ian Myslicki 6-0, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1.

“They had a let-up, but righted the ship and played a very nice third set,” Hislop said of his No. 1 doubles team.

Polson is back in action Tuesday, entertaining Bigfork and Corvallis.
