The Jacket tennis team knew their triangular at Park Rapids Tuesday would be tough. But they had hopes of at lease a split.
That wasnt to be the case as Perham lost 6-1 to Crookston and 6-1 to Park Rapids.
Crookston stomped us, head coach Terry Grzybowski said. We were close with Park Rapids, just lost too many close ones.

Final results from the Park Rapids Tournament last Saturday were not reported.
Yes, its still April, but the Jackets will play their final home game of the year today (April 28) as they host Long Prairie-Grey Eagle at 4:30 p.m. Perham does have some open dates in May and the possibility of adding another home match still exists.
Next week, the Jackets will travel to Bemidji on May 2 and on May 5 they will participate in the W-DC Lions Invite.
