Minnewaska/B-B-E boys' tennis to state

A pretty special achievement was made for B-B-E senior student-athlete Gannon Walsh, as he and his Minnewaska/B-B-E boys' tennis team advanced to the state tournament with a 4-3 win in the Section 8A finals this morning against Thief River Falls. What makes it special from my view as a sports reporter is that he golfed for the B-B-E Jaguars yesterday in the final Central Minnesota Conference meets of the season and then joined his tennis team later in the day to help them win in the section semifinals. At No. 2 singles, Walsh won in three sets yesterday during the team's 6-1 win against Crookston.

The tennis team won 6-1 in their playoff opener against East Grand Forks on their home courts at MAHS.

Earlier this season, Minnewaska/B-B-E won the West Central Conference title, and now they seek state tournament hardware. The Class 1A state tournament takes place on June 7-8 at the Reed-Sweatt tennis center in Minneapolis.
