The season ended on Wednesday for the Ionia boys varsity tennis team.  The results were not what the bulldogs had hoped for but the team played good tennis on the last day of the season.  The lone point the bulldogs earned came at second doubles where Riley Yokom and Jaxon Palmer won their first match vs. Owosso 6-4,6-3 before losing to top seeded Dewitt 6-0,6-1.  First singles Owen Shippey lost a heartbreaking match to Owosso 7-6, 6-3 after leading 5-2 in the first set.  Second singles Christian Miller lost to fourth seed Mason 6-0,6-0.  Third singles Cole Petersen lost to second seed Haslett 6-2,6-1.  Harper Duell also lost a heartbreaking match at fourth singles to the fourth seed from Mason 6-4,7-5.

In doubles first doubles Jude Gregory and Ryan Lee lost to the number two seed DeWitt 6-3,6-1.  Third doubles Riley McClintock and Mason Clark also lost a heartbreaker after winning the first set 6-2, losing the next two 6-4 and 6-0.  Fourth doubles Nolan Lundstrom and Jake Whitney lost a well played match to the second seed Haslett 6-3,6-2.

It was a great year for the bulldogs, finishing 7-6 with two tournament championships.  The bulldogs are already excited about next year with eleven of twelve varsity players returning.
