Aspen tennis advances two players into state semifinals<\/p>\n

The Aspen High School boys tennis team has two players into the Class 4A state semifinals after a strong showing on the first day of the state tournament on Thursday in Pueblo.<\/p>\n

No. 2 singles player Alex Mosher is into the semis after winning 7-6, 6-1 over Niwot\u2019s Sam Keronen in the first round, and rallying for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Colorado Academy\u2019s Caleb Aguirre in the second round. Mosher, a junior, will play Mullen\u2019s George Henry Hanzel in Friday\u2019s semifinal round.<\/p>\n

At No. 3 singles, AHS junior Liam Sunkel also found his way into the semis. He beat Pueblo Centennial\u2019s Zander Pacheco in the first round, 6-3, 6-0, and Pueblo Central\u2019s Christian Guzman, 6-3, 6-1, in the quarterfinals. Sunkel will face Niwot\u2019s Ben Bicknell in the semifinals on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Skiers also had two other first-round wins on Thursday. The No. 1 doubles team of Lukee Tralins and Georges Ghali won 6-3, 7-5 in the first round, but lost 6-2, 6-7, 0-6 to a duo from Kent Denver in the second round. At No. 4 doubles, Aspen\u2019s Dyer Hunting and Quinn Mckie won 6-0, 6-4 in the first round before losing 6-4, 7-5 in the quarterfinals. Both pairs have a chance to make the playback rounds depending on how the semifinals go.<\/p>\n

Aspen\u2019s No. 2 doubles team of Bryce Cordts-Pearce and Robert Holton, as well as the No. 3 doubles team of Ethan Godfrey and Liam Farrey, both lost in the first round. Also bowing out in the first round was junior Christian Kelly at No. 1 singles. He lost 6-0, 6-2 to Pueblo Central\u2019s Dario Alcala.<\/p>\n

With eight points, Aspen was tied with D\u2019Evelyn for fifth place as a team. Cheyenne Mountain was the leader after Day 1 with 21 points, having advanced all seven positions into Friday\u2019s semifinals.<\/p>\n
