The Reeths-Puffer boys tennis team is kicking off its season against a bunch of tough opponents, and so far the results have been so-so.
The Rockets took on always-strong North Muskegon on Friday in a non-conference dual match and fell 5-3.
The biggest trouble came in singles, where R-P lost all three of the matches that were played.
The best singles match came at No. 2, where Quinn Alderink put up a good fight before falling to North Muskegon’s Kaden Bartolameolli 6-1, 3-6, 10-8.
