Former Pella High boys’ tennis standout, Sam Dykstra, was one of the shining stars for the Central men’s team in Saturday’s finale of the Iowa Conference individual tournament. The freshman won in his semifinal match in straight sets over Loras, but fell in a tightly-contested, three-set affair with Ethan Dirksen of Coe in the finals. Dykstra, with his partner Garrett Taylor, also reached the championship match in B Flight Doubles, but came up short to a Luther duo. Sophomore Scott Wilson fell in the semifinals of C Flight singles. That’s it for the fall season for some of the Dutch men’s tennis team. Some players will head to Minnesota next weekend to compete in the USTA/ITA Midwest Regional in St. Peter, starting on Friday.
