In their opening match of the season, the Wahpeton boys tennis team jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after taking the doubles matches and beat Valley City 8-1 Tuesday.

"For both the kids and myself, it feels good to get the first match and first victory under our belts," head coach Kyle Christianson said. "We were able to have eight different players play varsity. It really shows how deep we are."

In doubles matches, the No. 1 Wahpeton team of Scott Kompelien and Eric Christianson beat the Hi-Liners team of Tykwinski and Gilbertson 4-6, 6-2,10-7.

The Huskies have their next match Thursday in Grand Forks against Red River.
