Coach Jack Olwell
Coach Jack Olwell summed up the competition succinctly, saying that Red Wing was "the best team we have seen this season" after Friday's 7-0 loss to the Wingers at the Boeckman Middle School courts.
Olwell went on to note that even though Red Wing is a quality team, it had been beaten soundly by Rochester Century who hasn't yet found a way to get by crosstown rival Mayo.
"What a section we have," Olwell said.
Ben Cline put up the best fight for the Tigers, losing 5-7, 0-6 at the No. 1 singles position.
"Ben was two points from winning the first set after having been up a break for most of the set against an opponent who hasn't lost a set in conference play over the past two seasons," Olwell said. "It was certainly Ben's strongest match of the season against his toughest opponent."
Austin Tremmel also played well for the Tigers at fourth singles, losing the first set 0-6 before coming back to drop a narrow 5-7 decision in the second.
