Bears advance to State
|
 The Blake School's Head Boys' Coach Ted Warner has continued an annual rite of spring by preparing his Bears with a little tennis power training. Warner's strategy is to supplement an already hefty Tri-Metro docket by scheduling many AA powerhouses including Edina, Moundsview, Rochester Mayo and Hopkins.
The tactics worked, and tradition holds true, as the Bears went through the Section 5A boys' tennis field 7-0, 7-0, 6-1 to earn what seems like an annual trip to State.
What was a little unexpected was how successful this training method for the Bears the Section 5A individual tournament. Senior Will Hancock captured the individual singles tournament in 5A advancing to State. While the brother combination of senior Merritt and sophomore Phil Jackley advanced to State by taking the individual doubles crown.
Congratulations to all involved and Go Bears!
