Libby blanks Troy
TROY — Cody Wood and Colin Maloney won 6-0, 6-0 at Nos. 1 and 3 singles for Libby as the Loggers cruised to an easy Class B boys dual victory over Troy.
Jason Brant and Jhamaal Sykes won by 6-0, 6-1 and 6-1, 6-0 scores, respectively, at the Nos. 2 and 4 singles spots.
Libby’s two doubles teams won by forfeit.
“The Loggers have been doing intersquad challenge matches all season long, making the boys match tough,” Libby coach Kyle Hannah said.
“They were looking forward to their matches with Troy and played with a lot of confidence and concentration. They made very few unforced errors, which swept them to victory over a young and short-handed Trojan team.”
Libby also swept play in girls action, although three of the singles matches were much closer than the boys singles. Libby’s Isabelle Martineau prevailed over Kaylee Stecker in a competitive, but wild outing at No. 2, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.
Libby’s doubles teams also won by forfeits.
“The girls from Troy were up for the challenge and played the Logger girls tough,” Hannah said.
“They were down on numbers and only had three girls eligible for play, so we ended up with three wins by forfeit.”
The other forfeit was at No. 4 singles.
