Raider tennis has busy week

Raiders competed in three tennis matches during the past week. On April 10th LR travelled to Wilson Creek to take on the small Devils squad. Then on the 11th LR hosted the League leading Liberty Bell Mt. Lions. LR then turned around and hosted the Pateros Billygoats/Nannies on April 14th.

At Wilson Creek Daniel Campobasso remained undefeated for the season as he took down the Devils' number-one, Cotton Crane, 6-1, 6-0.

Areielle White had to step up to the number-one girls' singles spot as Holly Jo Carriere was sick. White rose to the challenge and defeated the Devils number-one, Samantha Dowers, 6-3, 6-2.

Wilson Creek had only two boys and three girls on their squad, which means some of the matches do not count toward the varsity score as only one match per player, per day counts. LR did not have a full squad due to sickness and not enough practices, which played a bigger factor Friday against the Mt. Lions.

Liberty Bell's superior numbers showed as the Raiders' Daniel Campobasso was handed his first loss of the season by Carlos Perez, 6-1, 6-1. The Raider boys were swept in their matches with the Mt. Lions. The lone Raider wins came from girls' singles action, with Areielle White defeating Erin Frey 6-1, 6-4 and Harmony Witten blanking Sylvia Leduc 6-0, 6-0.

Raider Head Coach Steve Archer noted that the Mt. Lions are the league leaders and the toughest B school in District 6.

Against the Pateros Billygoats Monday at home, Campobasso and Tyler Agosto won their singles matches, and the team of Agosto and Corban Wilder won in doubles action.

On the girls side, Tanya Ang won by forfeit and the team of Holly Jo Carriere and Areielle White won their doubles match.

LR now gets practice time as the match scheduled against White Swan for the April 17 was moved to April 22, starting at 4 p.m.

Archer is hoping to have the team at full strength with all nine boys and nine girls able to compete.
