Damm also played for a championship on Thursday. In flight-three singles, the junior drew the second seed and opened with a 6-1, 6-0 semifinal win over Lakeland’s Carson Tegland. That sent him to the title match with Rhinelander’s John Currie, who won it 6-1, 6-3.
The number-two doubles team of Lundy and Klingbeil, both first-year players, earned second-team honors by going 1-1 in a four-team bracket. As the two-seed, they opened with a 6-0, 7-5 win over Antigo’s Converse and Cole Umland to reach the flight championship against Rhinelander’s Leo Losch and Charlie Heck. The Hodags won that match 6-1, 6-2. Losch was a second-team number-three singles player a year ago.
The Raiders earned honorable mention awards in both number-one flights.
In singles, Tlusty drew the four-seed and had to play a first-round match against fifth-seeded Ben Westrick of Stevens Point Pacelli, which he won easily 6-0, 6-1. That win put him in the semifinals against top-seeded Garrett Husnick of Antigo. Husnick earned his second win over Tlusty in four days and dominated 6-1, 6-0.
Tlusty ended the day on a good note, however, taking care of Hoyos 6-4, 6-3 in the third-place match and taking a 2-1 lead over him in their season series, which has been quite competitive.
Machon and Axon drew the third seed in flight-one doubles and were defeated 6-0, 6-3 by Antigo’s second-seeded team of Calvin Jansen and Nolan Bunnell in the semifinal round. The Raiders bounced back in the third-place match, easily defeating Mateo Koch and Eli Robinson of Pacelli 6-1, 6-1.
Reimann was the fourth-place finisher at number-four singles. He was defeated in the semifinals by Nelson 6-1, 6-0 and by Stepec in the third-place match 6-0, 6-4. The number-three doubles team of Wilson and Willman finished fifth. Pacelli’s Dominic Kroening and Hunter Wrezinski beat them 6-3, 6-0 in a first-round match.
