Gobblers rough up Tigers

PRINCETON - The Aitkin singles lineup swept the Princeton Tigers en route to a 6-1 non-conference boys' tennis victory Thursday.

Genarro Montano, Gabe Browning and Kyle Mindrum all won in straight sets.

"Having a little more experience showed through," said Aitkin head coach Joe Walz. "The players are starting to see the ball and are executing some combinations to finish points. Plus, they're doing a better job of finishing points."
