BNL’s Graham Turner and the Stars edged Linton 3-2 on Thursday.

LINTON – Bedford North Lawrence swept the singles while conquering Linton 3-2 during boys high school tennis action on Thursday.

The Stars (1-2) dropped only one game on the three singles courts. Graham Turner trounced Connor Daily 6-1, 6-0 at No.1, Nate Pemberton popped Asa Gambill 6-0, 6-0 at No.2, while Jayden Kemp swept past Questyn Hardesty 6-0, 6-0 at No.3.

The Miners were equally dominant in doubles. Dustin Brown and Holden Nagy toppled Carter Kimmel and Drew Stephenson 6-1, 6-1 at No.1, while Wyatt Bredeweg and Nathan Frady thumped Gavin Baker and Isaac Bridges 6-0, 6-0 at No.2.

“It was a nice win,” BNL coach Chris Kurtz said. “The singles spots were very good tonight. We’ve still got some growing to do with the doubles teams, but they are such hard workers, things will keep getting better.”

BNL will host its own Invitational on Friday. The Stars will face Madison while Bloomfield will meet Borden in the first round.
