Bulldog Tennis Team on the Move

The Milbank High School boys tennis team suffered a 9-0 loss to a veteran Watertown team April 11, at Cantine Courts in Milbank.“Watertown hit the ball with very good pace and has a variety of strokes they execute well,” stated Bulldog Head Coach Jim Dahl. “Our players had moments where we made very good plays and won points as a result of good decisions and tactics. We just could not muster any momentum.

Milbank will see lots of tennis action next week. The team travels to Sioux Falls on Thursday, April 20, to take on Sioux Falls Lincoln and Brandon Valley. They finish out the week at Lac Qui Parle Valley, Minnesota, Friday, April 21.
