Boys Tennis: Tigers one and done in section


Farmington's post-season didn't last long, ending in a 7-0 loss to Owatonna in the opening round of the Section 1AA team playoffs Tuesday, May 17, in Faribault.
The Huskies scored straight-set wins in all seven matches to advance to the quarterfinals against Hastings.
"It looks like a bit of a shellacking, but we were not overwhelmed," Tiger coach Jack Olwell said. "They were just a shade or two better in each flight."
Blake Olmscheid played the most competitive match for the Tigers. After dropping the opening set at second singles 1-6, he led 3-1 in the second before losing it 3-6.
The section individual tournament (two singles players and two doubles teams) begins next week.
