PHS Boys Tennis starts season by winning first Quad

Portland Quad I

Portland hosted their first quad of the year on Monday. This was a battle of four teams who often qualify for the D4 state tournament. It was a pretty even contest all around and we all got a chance to see where our teams were at the beginning of the season. D4 boys tennis seems to be having a bit of a struggle finding players this year. Both Grant and Portland weren't able to field full teams and had to forfeit their 4 singles matches. However, our team stepped up and made up for those lost points. They finished in a very respectable 2nd place to Notre Dame. Portland had three flight champs and one runner up for the day. Cadin Cross won all three of his 1 singles matches to be the top player for the day. Ryan Leonard also won all three of his 2 singles matches to win that flight. Jorgen Sonday and Casey Smith teamed up to win all three of their 1 doubles matches and their claim to top doubles team of the day. The team is excited to welcome two freshmen to our 2 doubles spot. Keegan Krieger and Damien Ledu partnered up to win 2 of 3 matches and take second in that flight. The team will play again Wednesday. We're hosting another quad with Almont, DeWitt, and Ludington.

Portland Quad II

Portland hosted their second quad of the year. Ludington and DeWitt both play in divisions above us while Almont often qualifies in D4. The team was impressed by the quality of our opponents and stepped up to the challenge today. We played some tough matches and managed to have a couple of flights finish as runners up. Jr. Ethan Webert was finally able to join the team and won two matches to be the runner up in the 3 singles flight. Tim Pohl also got his senior season started with two wins and a runner up at 4 singles. Portland finished their top flights when Sr. Cadin Cross and Jr. Casey Smith teamed up at 1 doubles and were runners up in the flight. The team will play again Friday when they host their final quad of the week.
