    Aitkin’s Zander Peterson got back to the match he wanted, a chance to make next week’s State Tennis Tourney. Unfortunately, the tennis gods were not in his favor and despite a great match for “true second,” he came up short, losing a dramatic three-set marathon, falling 7-5 in the final set to Landon Wheeler of Duluth Marshall. The day started with a loss in the semi-final to top seed Ethan Lavan of Cloquet 6-1, 6-3.
