the Trojans Friday, May 10.
Thornapple Kellogg’s var-
sity girls’ tennis team finished
in a three-way tie for second
place at the OK Gold
Conference Tournament.

conference championship with
a score of 24 points. South
Christian, TK and Catholic
Central all had 15 points on
the day ahead of Wayland 11,
Kenowa Hills 8, Ottawa Hills
4 and Cedar Springs 4.
Thornapple Kellogg head
coach Philippe Sylvestre was
especially pleased with his topdoubles teams. The number two
team of exchange student Lou
Savary and sophomore Jordan
Pranger had a default win over
Cedar Springs and pulled out a
marathon victory over the South
Christian pair of Stella Jelsema
and Lilly Harkema.

a quick 6-2, 6-0 win when thetwo teams met in their OK
Gold Conference dual this
spring. Savary and Pranger
took the opening set at the
conference tournament in a
tiebreaker 7-1, before the
Sailor duo took the second set
7-5 in another tie breaker. In
the end, the TK duo battled for
a 6-4 victory in the third set.
The Trojan teams’ lone loss
was to the flight champs from
Forest Hills Eastern, Izzy
Feenstra and Katie Worden,
who took a 6-1, 6-0 victory.
Sylvestre said he could real-
ly tell that Pranger and Savary
began to mesh here late in the
season playing to each other’s
strengths and weaknesses.
At first doubles, TK’s Callin
Wodrich and Tyne Bufka lost atough 6-2, 6-3 decision against
Forest Hills Eastern’s top duo
of Bella Chiodini and Ella
Molestra, but took down
Cedar Springs and Kenowa
Hills squads on the day.
At third doubles, the TK
team of Emilia Rickert and
Katie Comeau had a forfeit win
over Ottawa Hills and took a
6-2, 6-0 victory over Cedar
Springs at the tournament.
TK picked up at least one
point at every flight. First sin-
gles player Hailey Dudik had
wins over the top players from
South Christian and Wayland.
Her only loss was to Forest
Hills Eastern’s Lilah
Zaskowski who won the first
singles championship while
dropping only four games allday, one of them to Dudik.
Holly Carpenter had a win
over Ottawa Hills at second sin-
gles for TK. Charlotte Nelson at
number three had a default win
over Cedar Springs and bested
Wayland’s Molly Tobin 6-0, 6-1.

Schilithroat bested Ottawa Hills’
and South Christian’s fourth sin-
gles players.
