The Braves’ Region championship resulted from first place finishes from Jaren Pattison in second singles, Adam Jones and Dan Prawitt in first doubles, and Andrew Angerbauer and Cory Stewart in second doubles. Josh Bacon, first singles, and Andrew Applegate, third singles, also contributed with third place victories. The year was also marked with the Braves competing in and winning the Logan Invitational tournament in April with various 5A, 4A and 3A schools from St. George to Logan.
“This was a strong showing for us and helped us get ready for the region and state tournaments,” said coach David Angerbauer.
At the State 4A Tournament, the Braves sent more players to the semi-finals than any other team, except eventual team winner Timpview. Several Braves and Timpview players met in the semi-finals with Timpview getting the better of the Braves.
Timpview coach Rob Sperry said, “We viewed Bountiful as the championship round and have a lot of respect for them.”
Bountiful players Jaren Pattison (second singles), Adam Jones and Dan Prawitt (first doubles), and Andrew Angerbauer and Cory Stewart (second doubles) all advanced to the semi-finals but were all defeated by Timpview players.
“Our team this year was especially strong and deep. Each player contributed to our success, and the team spirit, heart and soul were off the charts,” said Angerbauer.
