McCook High tennis girls earned their first Class B history in team history on Friday at Woods Tennis Center in Lincoln. Senior Lauren Koetter lifts the trophy while seniors (both right) Kacee Samway and Katie Kjendal all show the elation of winning by one half-point over perennial tennis power Omaha Duchesene Academy. Teammates Cassiddy Beeby, Sid Thompson and sophomore No. 2 singles champion Kassidy Michaelis also played huge roles in the title. More details will be featured in the Gazette today and Tuesday.
