HESSTON – Central Plains Oiler Peyton Ryan downed Wichita Collegiate’s Charlie Gentile 8-6 to capture the singles championship at Tuesday’s Hesston Tennis Tournament. Ryan (22-0) is a 2-time 3-1A state runner-up. Ryan placed runner-up at state and Gentile finished third last year.

“It was definitely the toughest meet we’ve played at,” said Oiler coach Michael Ryan. “There was tons of good competition. We played pretty well. We’ll keep battling and continue to improve before postseason."

The Oilers compete at Pratt Friday.
