ALEX SHERER, ROSSVILLE | TENNIS FRESHMAN
HIS PERFORMANCE: Sherer, a freshman playing in a co-op arrangement with Hayden during the regular season, had a huge week in winning a pair of tournament singles titles. Sherer went 6-0 at the Topeka West Invitational on Monday, posting five straight 8-0 victories before taking the title with an 8-5 win over Kansas City Christian's Caleb Bartels in the finals. On Saturday, Sherer won the singles crown at the Wichita Collegiate Tournament of Champions, capping a 4-0 day with an 8-3 win over Jaden Tredway of Maize South in the championship match. Sherer is 26-1 this season with his lone loss coming to Blue Valley West's Akki Pujari.
COACH'S COMMENT: "Despite never having been a member of a tennis team before, Alex joined our team this spring and was instantly accepted as a member of the squad and a team leader," Hayden coach James Sandstrom said. "Over the course of our season we look at the Tournament of Champions as a great prep meet for state. This year the field was a combination of some of the best teams from 3A, 4A, and 5A. His performance on Saturday was very impressive. In a very deep field his closest match was 8-3. He is peaking at the right time of year and will be one of the favorites in 3A in a couple of weeks."
