CONWAY SPRINGS – It was a very good day for the Hesston High tennis team on Friday as it dominated a triangular that featured two of the other top teams in Class 3-2-1A.

Singles winners for the Swathers against Conway Springs were Logan Gamble, Jorge Morales, Jeb Carlson, Rhain Isaac and Daniel Casimir.

The victory over Central Plains was huge as the Oilers are ranked No. 1 in the class.

Gamble, Carlson, Isaac, Decker and Casimir were singles winners, while doubles teams winning were Morales-Carlson and Casimir-Decker.

“This was a good effort by our kids,” Hesston coach Mark Dahlsten said. “Central Plains has been ranked No. 1 all year and is a very good team.”
