Fremont Tennis Association

The tennis season has ended for the Fremont High School Boys Tennis Team. The last tournament was the State Tournament held Thursday, October 15, 2009, at the Koch Family Tennis Center in Omaha. It was a tough tournament for the Tigers, but both doubles teams had a win.

Juniors Brady Zoucha and Alex Hamilton won their first match at No. 1 Doubles. The first set was close and went to a tie-break which they won 7-4. The 2nd set went much better for Brady and Alex and they closed out the match 7-6(4), 6-2. They lost their 2nd match 1-6, 1-6.

Senior George Hartmann and sophomore Torrey Escamilla won their first match easily at 6-0, 6-1, then were defeated 1-6, 2-5.
