Brittia. They defeated the local teams

of Becky O’Dell-Naiya Panchal and

Carol Cameron-Toni Whaley to go

2-0 in the tournament format.

Noble was a double tournament

winner as he teamed with Mimi

Hayes, a former Lakeview High

School singles state champion, to

easily sweep the competition in the

Mixed Doubles division.

Noble and Hayes defeated last

year’s winners Austin Wardell and

Isabel Snyder, Marshall High School

assistant tennis coaches, 6-0, 6-1 in

the finals.

The most exciting match of the

whole tournament was a second-

round match in Mixed Doubles,

where Wardell and Snyder defeated

the team of Daniel Hillman and

Vivian Burns – a recently graduated

Pennfield High School standout ten-

nis player who is headed to play col-

lege tennis at Ferris State University

• 4-6, 6-4 (7).
  First-round losers again went into
  a consolation tournament, which was
  won by the team Jon Miller, a local
  tennis instructor, and his sister Becky
  O’Dell. They defeated Juan Luna and
  Lora Krone in a close final match
  6-0, 3-6 (4).
  The Harper Creek Optimist Club is
  a non-profit service club whose motto
  is “Friend of Youth,” and all proceeds
  from the tournament will be chan-

neled back into the community to

support local youth.

The club, according to Miller,

would like to acknowledge and

thank the sponsors of the event:

O.D., CTI Mechanical, Groundwater

Associates, Magna-Dry, Minges

Creek Racquet Club, Ray Yager
