BOISE — Freshman Pepper Rickert won all four of her matches in straight sets — dropping just four games total — to capture the girls singles title and Sandpoint claimed the 4A girls state tennis title for the first time in school history as play wrapped up Saturday at the Appleton Tennis Center.
“This has always been a goal of mine and it feels so amazing to accomplish as a freshman — also having the team win state is just as amazing,” Rickert said. “I have been working toward this my whole life and have been working really hard with the team this season and with my hitting coach in Spokane to prepare for this.”
