The Glenwood boys tennis opened up a tough week of competition with a 7-2 home loss to Council Bluffs Lewis Central Monday.
Kayden Anderson picked up a win in No. 4 singles and Tyler Harger and Carter Kirsch combined for a win at No. 1 doubles for the Rams two victories.

“Overall, we competed well last night, the final score doesn’t accurately portray how competitive the dual was,” said Glenwood coach Grant Stivers. “We knew they had a lot of experience coming back from last season, overall it is finding the positives we can build off of and continue to put the pieces together for the postseason that is quickly approaching.  Give credit to a strong LC squad, they came in undefeated in duals and we were unable to change that”
