Coming off a successful 2016 campaign, the Bemidji Boys Tennis Team has a lot of new faces for this season. The Lumberjacks lost six of their 10 starters from a season ago and are a very young team all the way around. Bemidji's number one spot is locked with Spencer Kanishney but after that the lineup remains wide open as the Jax look to find their identity. I don't think we've ever had a group where it's been so unsettled kind of going into the season. Usually we have a pretty good idea of maybe two and three and first doubles but we just looked at our lineup and decided you know this is a good year to really you know let people kind of develop into the areas of singles and doubles so we'll probably switch it up a lot early in the season and then settle things down the second half. We're gonna have to practice a lot and our team's really young this year so that's how we can get better. One thing nice is a lot of the guys are multiple sport athletes so they have some work to do in tennis but they'll get better every day and I think on the court when we get in match situations I think they'll be really a competitive group.
