The Ronan High School tennis team opened the 2017 season with home wins over Darby (6-1) and Anaconda (4-3) on Saturday afternoon.
Ronan’s No. 1 singles player Bailey Moss defeated both of his opponents in straight sets.
“Moss was very strong for his first match of the season,” Ronan Tennis Coach Jim Blow said. “He has really developed his serve, and his baseline strokes get better and stronger every week.”
Coleman Taylor, who played No. 2, also brought home victories in both of his matches.
In doubles play, Maidens’ doubles team of BreAnna Turpin/ Julia Matkovich dominated the No. 1 girls’ doubles matches by besting their opponents in straight sets.
“Matches were competitive and everyone enjoyed getting out on the hard courts against opponents other than their teammates,” Blow said.
Ronan’s on the road next Saturday, April 1, in Troy.
