Boys tennis team seeded third in Section 8A

The Benson-KMS boys tennis team ended the regular-season with a pair of victories at a home triangular, Friday, beating Yellow Medicine East (5-2) and Osakis (6-1).  Earlier in the week, the Fighting Braves fell to state-ranked Litchfield, 7-0.
Benson-KMS ended the regular season with a perfect 5-0 mark in the WCC and a 12-4 overall record.
Although the Fighting Braves went 5-0 in the conference, the season-ending WCC Team Tourney is what decided the overall conference champion this year, and Minnewaska Area beat BKMS, 6-1, to earn this year’s conference title.

Benson-KMS fell to Crookston in the first round, 4-3, and Crookston lost to Minnewaska Area in the semifinals, 4-3, putting the Lakers and TRF in the Section 8A finals.
