Potential bad weather has bumped up the start of the 2018 NSAA Boys Tennis State Championships.

As much of the state has seen several consecutive days of rain, the Class A portion of the state championships begins today – a day early – at the Koch Tennis Center in Omaha. Meanwhile, the Class B tournament will start on Thursday at the Wood Tennis Center in Lincoln.

Lincoln Southwest’s Joseph Harris, the state champion at #2 singles in Class A a year ago, is the #5 seed this year in the #1 singles competition. Millard North’s Benjamin Starman – with a record of 29-4 on the year – opens at the #1 in #1 singles.

Lincoln Southwest is the defending Class A state champion after it snapped Creighton Prep’s three-year reign last fall.

In Class B, Mason Warner of Lincoln Pius X took home the #2 singles state championship a year ago and enters the 2018 tournament as the top seed in #1 singles. He holds a record of 22-8 this season.
