Austin Packers boys’ tennis opens 2021 season with triangular at home Saturday
The Austin Packers boys’ tennis team opened the 2021 season at home Saturday with a triagular versus Big 9 Conference foes Rochester Mayo and Rochester John Marshall, and in their first match of the day against Mayo, Packer Head Coach Jeff Anderson stated that a very young Austin squad, with only first singles player Joey Schammel with varsity experience fell to one of the best teams they will face this season by a score of 7-0.
In their second match versus John Marshall, Austin fell to the Rockets 7-0, but Coach Anderson credited Schammel in taking Marko Jokic of John Marshall to three sets before falling 6-1, 4-6, 10-8. Anderson also noted the effort of seventh graders Michael and Tom Garry, who were playing in their first varsity match took Alex Younk and Riley Hilleshiem of the Rockets to three sets 6-3, 4-6, 10-4 loss.
Austin returns to action Thursday afternoon in a Big 9 dual match at Northfield against the Raiders, with the action set to start at 4:30 p.m.
