Going into this tournament I felt very confident in my team and even after our fifth place finish I am still confident. Alex Chekal was the unanimous number one seed in #1 Singles but was upset by Isaac Stitz in the first round 8-4. After being defeated, Alex bounced back and won three straight matches to finish in fifth place. Chekal defeated Nathan Rhedin, Dustin Merritt, and JD Hitt. Sam Lauritsen and Kris Mintle played in the #1 Doubles division and finished seventh after going 3-2 on the day. Lauritsen and Mintle defeated Goodell and Finnegan of Shenandoah 8-1 in the first round. Grant Podhasky and Cooper McDermott of Atlantic defeated Sam and Kris 8-6 in their second match. Junior Adam Konfrst played in the #2 Singles division and played fantastic throughout the day. Adam won the #2 Singles to give him his second Hawkeye Ten Title (Won #1 Doubles a season ago with Aaron Bertini) after defeating Cameron Pille (Carroll Kuemper) 8-4. Carter Benson and Josh Ruth played in the #2 Doubles division and finished in fourth place after going 1-2 on the day. Benson and Ruth defeated Christian Baer and Sam Narmi of St. Albert 8-4. Despite having a bad day the Rams still managed to score 19 team points and finished in fifth place. The Rams will go back to work tonight as they get ready to defend their back to back district championships on Thursday. The Rams have not set their lineup yet but they expect to contend for the district title at Red Oak.
