The Warrior tennis team, defeated in only one meet out of six before the state tourney, notched 13 points to take the state team title May 16-17 at Kearney. Meanwhile, Bob Hahn and Duane Kruse won the state doubles in their ninth doubles victory of the season, marking the first undefeated doubles season in Midland history.
