WHITEHALL — Spring Lake proved to be rude guests on Whitehall’s newly resurfaced courts Wednesday afternoon, defeating the Vikings 6-2.
The match was Whitehall’s first at home since the resurfacing was completed. True to school board treasurer Jimmy TenBrink’s joking request when the board approved the cost of resurfacing the courts, the familiar green and blue courts are now red and black, mimicking the Vikings’ school colors.
Evan Schuitema earned the Vikings’ singles win, at #3 singles, taking a 6-3, 6-2 decision. Whitehall’s #4 doubles pair, Evan Thomas/Elijah Roberge, secured a second win, taking a 6-2, 6-2 victory.
The Vikes came close to a third win at #1 doubles, as Patrick Cole/Ian Sampson lost a hotly contested match to Owen Malaski/Kody Vis by a 7-6(4), 7-5 score.
