The Class 2A boys’ state team tennis tournament has the potential to have half the field, or even more, coming out of the Mississippi Valley Conference.
When team substate play begins next Friday, three teams in the latest Iowa High School Tennis Coaches Association poll - No. 2 Cedar Rapids Prairie, No. 4 Iowa City West and No. 6 Cedar Rapids Washington - are the top ranked teams in their brackets, released Friday by the Iowa High School Athletic Association.
A fourth MVC school, Linn-Mar, is ranked No. 7 and is in a bracket with No. 9 Marshalltown. The Lions have been among the state's elite programs, making the state field every season since 2017.
Iowa City High also is having a solid season, and is in a substate where another unranked team, Ames, will be the top competition for the Little Hawks.
In Class 1A, two more MVC teams are favored to make the state field. Cedar Rapids Xavier has been ranked No. 1 all season while Dubuque Wahlert is No. 3.
All substate finals are scheduled for May 21 with the state meet to be held June 3-4. Class 1A teams will play at the Hawkeye Recreation and Tennis Complex in Iowa City. Waukee Northwest will serve as the 2A host.
