Oh, my! What a tournament it was on the Allegan tennis courts today. It lived up to the pre-tournament expectations with four schools in the top eleven competing for a berth in the state final tournament. This was arguably the toughest Division IV regional in the state.
In dramatic fashion the Tigers did secure a spot at State with their play in the regional tournament. Sitting with 16 points in the standings and needing 18 to qualify, the team had three flights in the finals. #2 Singles Ezra Smith faced the defending state champion and playing his best tennis of the year came up just short. Noah Kuebler-Ian Gaulke at #1 Doubles and Oliver Burnett-Carson Woodhams at #2 Doubles took three-sets to secure their flight championships and the final two points needed to get to state.
The Tigers finished the day with 18 points, good for 4th place, but was just two behind the champions' 20-point total.
Congratulations to the netters and best of luck at state.
Go Tigers!
