Whitefish boys, Polson girls take NWA net titles

May 18, 2018 at 5:00 am | The Daily Inter Lake 

LIBBY — Whitefish dominated the boys field while Polson finished ahead of the pack to take the girls title at the Northwest A divisional tennis tournament on Thursday and Friday.

The Bulldog boys racked up 71 points, more than doubling runner-up Polson’s 35. Polson’s girls tallied 51 points to Whitefish’s 39.

Whitefish accounted for three of the four semifinalists in boys singles. Brendan Buls lost only two games over his final two matches to take the title easily.

The Bulldogs also won the boys doubles championship, as Mark Anderson and Forrest Kobelt bulldozed Columbia Falls’ John Gilk and Tristan Grein 6-1, 6-3 in the finals.

Kyler Lundeen and Berkley Ellis of Polson overcame Whitefish’s Aubrey Hanks and Olivia Potthoff 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in a competitive girls doubles final.

The Pirates also claimed the girls singles title via Shea McGuinness, who defeated Claire Carloss of Whitefish 7-6, 6-2 in the championship.

The top four finishers in singles and doubles advanced to next week’s Class A state tournament beginning next Thursday in Polson and Ronan.

Hardin boys, girls sweep team titles at Eastern A tennis

Hardin's David Evans reaches to hit the ball in the doubles final with partner Ben Noteboom at the Eastern A Tennis Divisional at Elks Tennis Center on Friday.

BETHANY BAKER, Billings Gazette

BILLINGS – Being a singles tennis player can be a lonely place. Just you and your thoughts, good or bad. Billings Central’s Emma Putnam tries to be her own pick-me-up.

“It’s kind of hard to not get in your head sometimes,” Putnam said Friday afternoon at the Elks Tennis Center, “so I normally cheer myself on. It sounds pretty lame.”

Sound, consistent shot-making helps, too, and Putnam had a lot of that in topping Hardin’s Sharmayne Hardy for the Eastern A girls singles title. Hardy’s a steady player, as well, so Putnam’s 6-3, 6-3 victory was a matter of staying within herself, Putnam said.

So what does Putnam say to Putnam in moments of crisis or calm?

“Like, ‘it’s OK,’ ‘you’ve got it, get the next one,’ “ Putnam said. “Or when I end up hitting a winner I’ll in my head use that point to focus on the next one. You really have to take it from point to point, you can’t focus on the big picture, because when you’re down it’s very hard to get back up.”

The two-day tournament – a qualifier for next weekend’s state tournament -- concluded Friday evening with Hardin claiming the other three titles and both team titles, as well.

Makiko Reisig and Kate Murdock went to the wire to beat Glendive’s Skyler Scarpholt and Talia Zimdars 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. It’s their third year playing together as a doubles team, but it’ll be their first trip to state.

“Complete bliss,” Reisig said. “It was like …”

“Finally,” Murdock finished, eliciting a laugh from both players.

The boys doubles final not only featured teammates against teammates, but brother against brother. As such, the match between Hardin’s Ricky Hill and Jonathon Noteboom and David Evans and Ben Noteboom was a bit contentious at times (a line judge was called for shortly into the first set).

When it was over, though, and Hill and Jonathon Noteboom had claimed a 7-5, 6-0 win, there were hugs all the way around. Evans and Ben Noteboom led 5-2 in the first set, but Hill and Jonathon Noteboom won the next 11 games.

“On a crossover I told my partner, let’s make the greatest comeback we can,” Hill said.

And how was it brother against brother, and then beating that brother for a title?

“It’s … it’s indescribable,” said Jonathon Noteboom, the elder of the siblings by two years. “I don’t even know what to say. It’s hard, but … I don’t even know what to say.”

Gabe Passes gave Hardin its third divisional championship when he beat Billings Central’s Jake O’Leary 6-4, 6-3 in the boys singles final.

Passes was aggressive, using well-placed approach shots to get to the net on several occasions. Once Passes was there, O’Leary had difficulty getting the range on his lobs and Passes took advantage.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever really tried it,” Passes said about being a net player. “Before, if the ball came right back at me, I’d kind of get scared.”

Then with a chuckle, he added: “That’s why I don’t play doubles.”

The Bulldogs boys had 68 points, followed by Billings Central (43), Miles City (3) and Glendive (2). Hardin’s girls finished with 47 points, Billings Central was second (30), Glendive third (19) and Miles City fourth (12).

In the consolation finals, Billings Central’s Elliott Keller defeated Hardin’s Jace Guptill 6-1, 6-2 in boys singles; Hardin’s Famous Lefthand and Ryan Old Crow beat Billings Central’s Maguire Payne and Ben Harsha 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in boys doubles; Miles City’s Emily Toennis edged Hardin’s Abigail Noteboom 7-6 (5), 6-4 in girls singles; and Billings Central’s Abby Fitzgerald and Blayne Meyer defeated Hardin’s Cailei Cummins and Mary Anne Herrara 6-1, 6-1 in girls doubles.

All those players qualified for the state tournament, which is next weekend in Ronan and Polson.

Dillon's Mariah McClure will be the No. 1 seed from the Southwest at next week's state tennis tournament after winning the divisional crown in Corvallis on Friday.

 

 

 

The Dillon Beavers will be well-represented at next weekend's Class A state tennis tournament after dominating the competition at the Southwestern A divisional in Hamilton.

The Beavers relied on the strength and depth of their doubles duos, sending all six, three girls and boys teams, to next weekend's state meet.

That helped the Beavers to 69 points on the girls' side, well clear of second place Corvallis' 27. The Beaver boys finished with 53 to score a convincing divisional crown.

Butte Central's girls finished third with 18 points, while the Maroon boys were fourth with 17.

The Beaver girls saw the doubles duos of Kodi Ferris and Rachael Nye meet with Jen Womack and Nicole Thompson for the district crown after both clinched state bids with semifinal wins.

Womack and Thompson then picked up a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 win for the divisional title.

In the consolation finals, Tessa Sawyer and Adrianna Southam gave the Beavers a third place finish after beating Ali Guldseth and Kellsie Quinn, 6-3, 6-4. Both duos will be at state next weekend.

In singles play, Dillon's Mariah McClure and Maggie Magee met in the finals of the winner's bracket, with McClure winning 6-2, 6-1 for the district title and the No. 1 seed at state.

Like their girls' doubles teammates, all three of Dillon's boys' doubles teams clinched bids to the state tournament.

The Gunnar Maisch and Isaak Koslosky took on Kyson Wilson and Todd Nordahl in the winner's bracket finals before Wilson and Nordahl emerged with a 6-3, 6-3 win for the title.

In the consolation finals, Butte Central's Sam Sterns and Cam Johnson dropped Mark Southam and Luke Peterson, 6-4, 6-2. Sterns and Johnson are the only Butte Central boys who clinched a spot at state. Both duos in the consolation finals needed three set wins to clinch their trips.

In boys' singles action, Brad Rakich of Dillon was the lone local player to clinch a spot in Bozeman next week, beating teammate Caleb Jones in three sets in the consolation semifinals to clinch a spot, then taking third with a 6-0, 7-6 (7-2) win over Josh Smith of Corvallis.
