McCook No. 1 doubles team wins final state match for medals

LINCOLN, Neb. — McCook senior Reid Loop and junior Aaron Frank earned a Class B No. 1 doubles state medal with their seventh-place match win over No. 2-seed Isaac Clarke/Chase McInteer from Waverly Friday afternoon.

The Bison combo was seeded 10th entering state where they won three matches overall while finishing with a 24-13 record.

As a team, McCook placed 13th among more than 30 Class B squads competing. They scored 10 1/4 points as No. 2 doubles Landon Kmoch and Sutton LaBrie, both seniors, scored a state tourney win over Cornerstone Christian on Thursday.

The Bison finish strong with a team that returned only one experienced player from last year's No. 4 finishing team in Loop.

Mount Michael Benedictine scored 58 points to take home the Class B team title with Elkhorn North finishing second. Scottsbluff's 25 1/4 points claimed sixth place.
