Whitefish boys sweep Columbia Falls

WHITEFISH — The Whitefish boys swept Columbia Falls in a Northwest A tennis dual on Tuesday.

“I'm really happy with where we are right now,” Whitefish coach Chris Schwaderer said. “We've got some new guys and some young guys who are starting to step up and show results. The spring season is so short, but I feel that we have made some significant gains lately. We are looking forward to a productive May.”

Dane Hunt and Johnny Nix highlighted the dual with a three-set doubles win against Columbia Falls pair Will Pickard and Dale Blickhan; the score was 6-1, 5-7, 7-5.
