PREP ROUNDUP: Clark Fork tennis ready for first all-league competition
TENNIS
SANDPOINT — The Clark Fork High tennis team competed at the James E. Russell Sports Center for the first time school history on Thursday, taking on Sandpoint's junior varsity squad in a number of one-set matches.
Charlie Beaman, Eli Larson, Kathi Rupp, Keira Gannon, Piper Scarlett and Aliyah Leadbetter all made appearances, and although the Wampus Cats weren't victories in any matches, the the experience certainly helped them prepare for today's first All-League meet of the season at Coeur d'Alene High.
