The River Queens tennis team fought long and hard suffering their first and final loss of the entire season. We are very proud of how you played in Des Moines. You showed great courage in your matches and played your best tennis to date!
The River Kings competed in the District meet today at Emeis Golf Course in Davenport. The Kings shot 381 as a team and finished in 12th place in the 14 team meet. Team medalist went to senior Scott Pasakarnis with a 92. Also scoring for the Kings were Ray Brown (93), Cohen Thorpe (97), and freshman Brenner Vance (99). Also competing in the meet were sophomores Carter Thorpe and Maverick Hensel. The Kings finish their season with the most wins that we've had since the 2019-2020 season. Special thanks to seniors Scott Pasakarnis, Ray Brown, Cohen Thorpe, Dante Kelly and Levi Fransen for their roles this year in being great examples of putting in the work and showing what it means to be a River King. This year's team was a lot of fun to coach with the huge commitment that everyone put in. They were great at communication and high in energy. With a large number (75%) of our roster being sophomores and freshmen, it is our hope that River King Golf is on the rise and that we will see even more wins in the coming years from these boys! Go Kings!
