It took a while Wednesday afternoon for Hixson junior Alex Condra to become completely comfortable with the role of being the hunted in the District 6-A/AA individual tennis tournament.

Not long enough that it really cost him, though.

Condra overcame what he considered a subpar day with two wins in the tournament at the Brainerd recreation complex, the latter — a 6-3, 6-3 win over Red Bank’s Daniel Cox — giving him his second consecutive district singles championship.

The teams that dominated district play — Hixson’s boys and Brainerd’s girls — dominated the individual events. The Wildcats’ Carl Phillips and Landon Goforth won the doubles title, defeating Red Bank’s Cody Schmidt and Josh Reed 6-3, 7-6 (7-5).

The Lady Panthers’ Yasmin Foster improved to 9-0 for the season by defeating 2014 district singles champion Alex Bonner of Central, 6-3, 6-2. Brianna and Brittany Canty made it a clean sweep, defeating Red Bank’s Rachel Thornbury and Linnea Lantz, 6-1, 6-3.
