Talk about it

Alex Priebe didn’t let a tough start lay a seed of doubt in his mind.

The Dickinson High sophomore rallied from one set down to defeat Williston’s Adam Kemp 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 in No. 2 singles on Thursday at DHS tennis courts.

Priebe won the Dickinson High boys tennis team’s lone match as the Coyotes won the West Region dual 8-1.

Despite Priebe winning the only match, the Midgets had a couple close second sets, including No. 6 singles where Johnathon Griffith lost to Tate Burbut 6-2, 7-5.
