DAY 2--TENNIS DIVISIONAL--Western A heating up
Western A heating up
Posted: Saturday, May 17, 2008 - 12:35:47 am MDT By GREG SCHINDLER/The Daily Inter Lake
“It was a right calf, and as the third set wore on, I was putting all my weight on the left calf, so the left calf started to cramp. “This is definitely the hottest weather we’ve played in. Probably just not enough fluids, combined with the heat.” The boys’ singles were played at Flathead Valley Community College, along with all doubles. The girls’ singles got a break from the heat, playing indoors at The Summit. Polson’s Maddie Grebetz and Mattea York enjoyed their time in the sun, slipping past Bigfork’s Roxy Thurman and Quindee Averill 6-3, 6-4 for a spot in today’s finals against fellow Lady Pirates Cali Hislop and Malika Erickson, who worked past Libby’s Nicole Newman and Riley Dinning 6-2, 6-3 in the semifinals. “We had to be very patient and just get the ball over once more than they did,” Grebetz said. “We definitely had to stay in the shade and keep off our feet, but it’s a lot funner in hot weather. I definitely love it a lot more than windy and rainy and cold.” Polson’s girls won’t be the only teammates squaring off for a championship. Rottenbiller, who lost last year’s singles championship to Whitefish’s Matt Harris, will face Bulldog Renzo Caimi for the first time outside of practice. Caimi advanced with a 6-1, 6-0 semifinal victory against teammate Ian Hosek. York and Grebetz have some experience against their undefeated counterparts. “We played them in the finals at the Bitterroot Invitational, and it was actually a lot less pressure,” York said. “We could just go out there and play, and it ended up being a pretty good match, so we’re looking forward to it.” Defending champion Jackie Mee of Libby will duel with Whitefish’s Brielle Menegazzi for the girls’ singles crown. The two have played each other six times in their careers, including last year’s divisional title match. Mee downed Whitefish’s Kate Klundt in the semifinals, while Menegazzi rallied past Columbia Falls’ Sarah Marcille 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. Columbia Falls’ Cody Maynard and Grant Getts edged Bigfork’s Tyler Butts and Scott Taylor 6-4, 6-4, setting up a Flathead Valley championship showdown with Whitefish’s Harris and Brendan Viscomi. Harris and Viscomi beat Polson’s Matt Roberts and Steven Roberts in straight sets. The defending team champions are on pace to repeat, including the Whitefish boys, who took second at state last spring. The Bulldogs unofficially have 38 points, followed by Bigfork (22), Polson (20), Columbia Falls (11) and Libby (eight). “With Ryan winning that, I think they have it pretty much in hand,” Libby coach Kyle Hannah said before the end of play Friday, “and they still have kids out here in green playing.” The Lady Pirates clipped Whitefish by a point last year. They’re in front with 31 points, followed by Bigfork and Whitefish (23 apiece), Libby (19) and Columbia Falls (eight). “Coach (Bob Hislop) drills doubles,” Hannah said. “He’s got a great doubles program, and it shows. “(But) their singles really showed up. I know coach wasn’t expecting as many points as they got, so congratulations to their singles players.” Today’s matches are all at FVCC, beginning at 8 a.m. All divisional champions and runners-up earn automatic berths to next week’s Class A state tournament in Polson. The remaining slots will be settled via today’s consolation bracket. Rottenbiller pulled out Friday’s semifinal by relying on savvy rather than power, but he knows he’ll need two strong legs to hang with Caimi, who hasn’t lost a set all year. “I don’t think I’m going to be moving much tonight,” Rottenbiller said. And he hopes he won’t need any more hydration supplements. “Horrible,” he said. “That was gross.” Western A Divisional Tennis Friday in Kalispell Unofficial Team Totals Girls Polson 31, Bigfork/Whitefish 23, Libby 19, C.
