A little of this, a little of that

Random sports observations for the week:

Congratulations to Hesston senior Joel Murray, who shot a hole-in-one last week at the Buhler Invitational. His achievement occurred on the 13th hole at The Highlands Golf Club. Joel finished with a score of 83 and earned a medal.

An interesting story unfolded Saturday when the Wichita East and Wichita North swimmers faced off in a dual. The teams have a controversial history since last year’s City League meet. It appeared North had won the league tournament, but some of the Redskins jumped in the water to celebrate before the race was over. That resulted in a disqualification for the event – and handed East the league title. On Saturday, the Aces’ 99-71 victory over North kept them undefeated in the league this season.

League tennis is heating up in the area. The City League tournament will be Saturday, May 1. Several other league tournaments – many featuring top-five teams in the coaches’ rankings – will be Monday, May 3. They include the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail Division I, featuring top-ranked Hutchinson; the AVCTL Division II, featuring ranked teams McPherson and Winfield; the Central Plains League, featuring ranked teams Wichita Independent and Conway Springs; and the Mid-Central Activities Association, featuring ranked teams Hesston, Smoky Valley and Wichita Collegiate. Those tournaments should provide several entertaining matches.
