The level of competition went way up on Tuesday for the Ankeny boys’ tennis team.
It resulted in an 11-0 loss for the Hawks at Waukee.
“It was not pretty for us,” said Ankeny coach Ron Miller. “Their No. 4 doubles players could probably play No. 1 for us. They played strong and smart in a tough wind.”
The Warriors improved to 3-0 on the season. Ankeny’s record dropped to 2-1.
Waukee won all 11 matches in straight sets, including four in which the Warriors didn’t drop a single game. The closest match came at No. 4 doubles, where Ankeny’s Mason Bush and Kade Somers dropped a 7-5, 7-5 decision to Ryan Cooper and Ayush Jha.
