With representation in three of the four divisional finals, Woodlawn High School took home the team trophy in the first Woodlawn High Invitational Tournament.
Woodlawn High School hosted their first Invitational Tennis Tournament on Friday, February 9 and Saturday, February 10 at the Highland Road Tennis Center. Ninety-six student-athletes from 9 area high schools participated in the two-day single elimination tournament.
“Our goal was to get our student-athletes an opportunity to participate in a single elimination tournament before regionals,” said Woodlawn Head Coach Brent Broussard, who served as Tournament Director. “For many of these players, this was their first tournament. This experience is invaluable.”
Play began at 3 pm Friday, with round of 16 matches in four divisions: Boys’ and Girls’ Singles and Boys’ and Girls’ Doubles.
Winners of Friday’s matches played Saturday morning at 8 am in the quarterfinals.
Ascension Christian, Central, Denham Springs, Dutchtown, East Ascension, Lutcher, St. Amant, St. Thomas More, and Woodlawn all participated in the event.
In the Boys’ Singles Final, Joshua Miller of Ascension Christian defeated Levi Lindsay of Woodlawn by the score of 6-1, 6-1. Miller only dropped three games throughout his four matches. In the Girls’ Singles Final, St. Amant’s Grayce Reynolds defeated Lily Ingalls of Woodlawn 6-3, 6-2.
The team of Taylor and Clark Parker of Central defeated Live Oak’s Noah Snow and Alex Rivers 6-2, 6-2 in the Boys’ Doubles Final. In the Girls’ Doubles Final, Lorelei Allen and Sarah Kerne from St. Thomas More defeated Woodlawn’s Krystel Amo and Amelie LeMaire in three sets, 6-1, 5-7, 1-0 (10-6).
The Team Championship was determined by using the combined wins of both boys’ and girls’ scores, with championship wins earning an additional half point. With twelve total team wins, Woodlawn High narrowly edged out Central High, 12 to 11.5 points.
