Senior Jonah Wendt and junior Gavin Gross are going to be busy this week. Along with playing for the Foley varsity boys tennis team in the Minnesota State High School League Class A Team Tournament, the Falcons duo also qualified for state in doubles.

Wendt and Gross won four matches over two days at the Section 6A Tournament May 26 and May 30 at the Pine City High School tennis courts. They will play in the state doubles tournament June 8-9 at Reed-Sweatt Tennis Center in Minneapolis.

After winning their first two matches over Brooklyn Center without losing a game, Wendt and Gross found themselves trailing a set to their Pine City opponents before rallying for a 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory in the semifinals. They had an easier time in the championship, defeating their Mora opponents 6-1, 6-2.
