Snow interrupts Ronan tennis duals
RONAN — Friday’s weather threw a bit of a wrench into things for tennis duals in Ronan, but Columbia Falls and Whitefish each swept its duals against the host.
Several matches were cut short due to falling snow, including the Columbia Falls girls, who topped Ronan 4-0 and the boys, who won 4-1.
Whitefish’s boys won 7-0 over the Chiefs, and the girls ended up winning 3-1 in their truncated dual.
On Thursday, Columbia Falls visited Polson, who defeated the Wildcats netters in both duals; the Pirates won 4-3 in each.
