? Clark Fork drops Troy in tennis

TROY, MONT — Rayna Allen won at No. 1 Girls and No. 1 Mixed Doubles, teaming with Tia Becker and Martin Fuelleborn respectively, as Clark Fork beat Troy 7-4 Thursday afternoon. Bill Clayton and Thomas McMahon won a third set tie-breaker to win in No. 1 Boys Doubles.

"They started out slow and couldn't get their serves in," said Clark Fork coach Lisa Allen. "In the second set they worked together."

Fuelleborn won three pro set singles matches as well, and Mike Martin rallied to win a tough second se at No. 1 singles.

"Mike played smart and started working his opponents backhand," said Allen of Martin's turnaround after dropping the first set.
