WHITEHALL — Whitehall enjoyed a solid performance while hosting Wednesday's Coastal Conference meet, earning second place behind Ludington.
The Vikings won 13 matches on the day and put six of their eight flights into the conference finals match. Two doubles pairs emerged as league champions - top doubles pair Ian Sampson/Evan Thomas and No. 3 doubles pair Cameron Cook/Elijah Roberge.
Sampson/Thomas dominated throughout the day, winning all three of their matches in straight sets. Cook/Roberge only had to take the court twice, though their finals match might have felt like two matches; the Viking duo won a very close first set against Oriole foes Landon Killips/Tyler Albrecht and then bounced back from a lopsided loss in the second set to win by third-set tiebreaker, 7-6(4), 1-6, 10-6.
Whitehall's Jonathan Roberge is able to make contact with the ball during Wednesday's Coastal Conference tournament. Six Viking flights made the finals, including Roberge and Lukas McKee at No. 4 doubles, as Whitehall finished in second place.
Four other Viking flights finished second in the conference. No. 2 singles' Evan Schuitema went 2-1 with a pair of 6-0, 6-0 victories, and No. 3 singles' Wyatt Burger did the same. Adam Sikkenga/Remington Whelpley also went 2-1 at No. 2 doubles and won both their matches in straight sets. No. 4 doubles Lukas McKee/Jonathan Roberge went 1-1 on the day.
No. 4 singles player Scout Freiheit also scored one victory at the tournament.
