Libby High School tennis traveled to Cut Bank last weekend to participate in the Cut Bank High School Invitational.

Coach Kyle Hannah said his team played well considering gusts up to 60 mph and the 41 degree temperature at the end of play Friday.

“We worked hard and I was pleased with the kids’ efforts,” Hannah said. “The boys struggled a bit against Fergus, but we were mixing players around for every match.”

Hannah praised Ally Buckner and Joelina Lawrence for the strides they made as a doubles team. He also mentioned Sarah McBride’s strong play indoors.

Libby will host the Libby Invitational on Saturday.
