While middle school cross
country runners criss-crossed
the Thornapple Kellogg
Schools campus Wednesday
afternoon, TK first singles
player Kameron Nichols
played a marathon match with
South Christian’s Luke Post.
Post surged in a tiebreakerfor a 7-6(2) win in the opening
set of his OK Gold Conference
showdown with Nichols, but
Nichols rallied for a 6-1 win in
the second set and then out-du-
eled Post 6-4 in the third set to
take the lone win for the
Trojan team in its OK Gold
Conference dual with South
Christian’s varsity boys’ ten-
nis team.
The Sailors’ 7-1 win wasn’t
quite as lopsided as that final
team score shows. A second
flight went to three sets, the
third doubles match. TK’s
Dylan Bailey and Andrew
Beckering fell 6-0 in its open-
ing set against South
Christian’s James Bergsma
and Marcus Dixon, but righted
things for a 6-1 win in set two.
Set three was back and forth
with Bergsma and Dixon
finally pulling out a 6-3 win.
There were also tight two-
set matches at fourth singles
and fourth doubles that the
Sailors pulled out. SouthChristian’s Vinny Klassen
edged TK’s Franklin Wilkinson
6-3, 6-3 at fourth singles. In the
doubles match, South
Christian’s Josh Fles and Ryan
Wiers pulled out a 6-3, 6-4 win
over the TK team of Daniel
Beckering and Andy Liu.
The Trojans were back in
action Thursday, scoring a 5-
non-conference win at Otsego
in a dual filled with more hotly
contested matches.
Half of the eight flights
were decided by a super tie-
breaker in the end and two of
the other flights featured at
least one set that was extended
to a tiebreaker.
Nichols took the first singles
point for TK with a 5-7, 6-1,
(10-4) win over Sam
Bronkema. Wilkinson won asuper tiebreaker too at fourth
singles where he outscored
Phoenix Orona 6-3, 1-6, (10-5).
TK got a third singles point
from second singles player
Aidan Dudik who outscored JJ
Kruizenga in a tough two-set-
ter 6-4, 6-3.
The Trojans secured the
team victory with a pair of
doubles wins added to the sin-
gles points. Bailey and
Andrew Beckering at third
doubles outscored Otsego’s
Jack Chapman and Spencer
Shearer 7-5, 7-6(7). At fourth
doubles, the Trojan team of
Daniel Beckering and Anson
Verlinde knocked off Ryan
Fielbrandt and Tyler VanNess
2-6, 6-2, (10-8).
The Trojans battled even in
defeat. At third singles, JacobDraaisma pulled out one set in
a 6-2, 3-6, (10-1) loss to Tyler
DeHaan. The Bulldog duo of
Dylan Chandler and Tyler
VanderLugt took a 7-6(7), 6-
win over the Trojan first dou-
bles team of Aaron Michalk
and Ben Cuisson.

Madalinski scored a 6-0, 6-
win over the TK team of
