The Jamestown High School varsity tennis team faces a significant challenge in their quest for a successful season. The team's two main players, Luke LeFevre and Braxton Burkett, who were the No. 1 seed in doubles last season, have graduated and Burkett is focusing on hockey. The duo advanced to the state championship match, where they lost to Grand Forks Central.
Despite the loss, Jamestown head coach Isaac Mimong remains optimistic, noting that the team is learning to adjust to the new lineup. The team has six sophomores and four key returners. Mimong emphasizes that the team needs to put in the right work to achieve their goals, with a positive mindset and willingness to learn and grow.
The Blue Jays finished the 2025 season with a 2-5-0 conference record and 7-12-0 overall. They reached the West Region Tournament but lost to Minot. At State, they faced top-seeded West Fargo Sheyenne, losing 5-0, before advancing to the consolation semis against Bismarck Legacy, where they lost 3-2. The team is scheduled to play their first official match of the 2026 season on August 21 against Bismarck Century and Bismarck Legacy.
Mimong acknowledges that the team will face growing pains and challenges, but he remains hopeful for a promising future.
