GLEN DALE – Linsly (Class 1A-4A) and Morgantown (Class 5A) lead the OVAC boys’ tennis tournament after one day of competition on the windy courts at John Marshall High School.

Singles action begins today at 8 a.m. and champions will be crowned in the late afternoon.

The Cadets totalled eight points on the first day to lead Cambridge (5) in the small school team race.

Steubenville Catholic (2) was the only other school to score in the 8-team field. East Liverpool, Indian Creek, St. Clairsville, Weir and Wheeling Central have yet to make the scoreboard.

Their No. 2 doubles tandem of Wesley Palmer and Andrew Hoang won a title with an 8-3 triumph over the Cambridge duo of Markel Villaplos and James Goggin.

The No. 1 team duo of Luis Brulles and Jaycob Sauvageau fell in the semifinals to eventual champions Andrew McClellan and Kalman Nagy of University.

In the 9-team big school portion of the two-class event, the Mohigans hold a slim advantage, 9-7, over inner-city rival University.

Each school won a title as the Hawks’ McClellan and Nagy defeated Morgantown’s Wyatt Abbitt and Max Chen, 8-3, at No. 1, while Max Warner and Ronan Rogers claimed the No. 3 title with a 9-8 (2) win over Dover’s Jeremy Cappel and Arden Klaiber.

Dover (4) sits third in the big school, with Marietta and Wheeling Park (3) right behind. Brooke (2) is sixth and John Marshall and Parkersburg South tied for seventh with 1.

Steubenville failed to score.
