The season is winding down for the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton boys tennis team. After a smooth and quick start to the season, the Jacks have had a tough time lately as they face some of the more difficult teams in the area. On Wednesday night, the Jacks dropped a 5-2 decision to Grand Rapids/Greenway.

CEC’s only wins came at #1 singles by Colton Roy and by Zach Zezulka at #4 singles. Roy won 6-2, 6-2 over Kristian Bjerk and Zezulka beat Austin Stefanich 6-4, 6-3. Both Dylan Burslie and Jordan Johnson fell at #2 and #3 singles respectively for the Jacks.

In doubles, Nathan Blascyk and Chase Pritchett dropped a tight 6-4, 6-3 game at #1. At #2, it was the CEC team of Sean Kedrowski and Jake Sorenson falling 6-1 and 6-4 and at #3 doubles it was Ryan Kedrowski and Niko Michaelson dropping a 6-2, 6-1 decision to their opponent.

Seedings will be held for the Section 7AA tournament this week and the tournament will begin early next week.
