High school boys tennis: Lone Peak rallies to win 6A crown
Lone Peak tennis players celebrate in a huddle after winning the 6A boys tennis championships at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City on Saturday, May 9, 2026. | Laura Seitz, Deseret News Halfway through the 6A boys state tennis tournament Saturday afternoon, American Fork coach Jason Herrud had his team where it needed to be win the state championship. With three matches remaining, his squad needed to just win one – all against Region 3 rival Lone Peak – and the Cavemen would have their second straight title.
Fortune, however, went the other direction and the Knights emerged on top. After double-checking the scores, tournament officials showed Lone Peak with 57 points, followed by American Fork with 56. Skyridge took third place with 35 points, followed by Bingham (25) and Davis (18).
“It feels like the opposite of last year,” said Lone Peak coach Roger Baumgartner, whose team has won six crowns in the last 10 years but finished in second place to American Fork last year by the slimmest margin that was decided by the last match. “Our region is the toughest in the state and we battle all season and it usually leads to this. We had to have our seniors come through and the end, and it was just enough.
