Nice day for Great Basin tennis

---

Wood River’s Bryan Donoso tracks down a forehand winner during his three-set battle with Jerome’s Michael Pittman Tuesday at the high school tennis courts, Hailey.

The Wood River tennis team swept all six doubles matches in a 10-2 victory over league rival Jerome on Tuesday on the tennis courts in Hailey.

"It was a good day for us," coach Vicki Johnston said, "and a beautiful one too."

Despite the lopsided score, the Tigers were no pushovers. Wood River claimed 144 games and lost 75. Three of the 12 matches went all three sets.

In #1 girls' singles, Tanya Greenwood outlasted Samantha Sobotka, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4.

"Tanya pulled out a good three-set win," Johnston said. "It was a good win for her."

Jerome's Breanna Gilbert defeated Sloan Storey 6-4, 6-4 to win #2 girls' singles. The Wolverines won the #3 girls' singles match by default.

In boys' singles, Wood River captured the #1 and #3 draws with Morgan Pike (6-1, 6-1) and Davis Matthews (6-1, 6-0) winning in straight sets. At #2, Wolverine Bryan Donoso and Jerome's Michael Pittman started early and finished late in a three-set gutbuster in which the Tiger pulled out a 5-7, 6-0, 7-5 victory.

"They're both really scrappy players," Johnston said about Donoso and Pittman.

The Wolverines totally dominated doubles matches.

Prevailing in boys were #1 Brendan Freund and R.J. Forgeon (7-5, 6-3), and #2 Thomas Goettleman and Kuba Pros (6-0, 1-6, 6-0).
