Congratulations to Fargo South High School and its senior Davis Lawley on winning the 2017 North Dakota Boys State team and singles championships, respectively, at Capital Racquet and Fitness in Grand Forks, N.D.

 

Fargo South, who was one set away from falling in the first round of the state tournament to Minot, upset #1 seed Grand Forks Red River in the semifinals and then #2 seed Grand Forks Central in the championships match to win its second team title in the last three years. South actually finished third in its conference during the regular season, but put it all together in the state tournament.

For the season, Lawley was a perfect 23-0 in singles and lost only four games all year (276-4). Lawley was also named the Outstanding Senior Athlete of the Year. 

 

Red River's Kaden Johnson and Gavin Loscheider won their first state doubles championship with a 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (6) win over South's Geoffrey Youngs and Max Olson
