Whitehall Tennis headed to Divisionals

A total of eight Whitehall High School tennis players will be looking to qualify for state at this week's Southeast B-C Divisional Tournament at Lone Peak.

Senior Monica Sepulveda, junior Kyeli Ostler, and freshman Britney Welker and Alyssa Frankenstein will all be competing at singles. The Lady Trojans will also have two doubles teams competing at the tournament. Juniors Amber Murrish and Evelin Ramirez, and freshman Isabel Evans and sophomore Dorothy Mastel will be in the eight-team bracket.

According the head coach Kerry Sacry, the top four finishers in singles, and top three teams in doubles will qualify for the state meet later this month in Missoula.

Last weekend the team competed at a two-day event in Choteau.

Sacry said they played with out Sepulveda and Bailee Hess who were attending the state music festival, but everyone who competed got better and it was a great weekend of tennis.

In their opening matchup against Harlem, Evans and the doubles team of Murrish and Ramirez picked up wins for Whitehall. In their second match against Simms, Welker and Evans picked up singles victories, and Ramirez and Murrish picked up another doubles win. In their matchup against Chinook, Welker and Frankenstein won their singles matches.

In the second day of action against Fairfield/Choteau, Welker was able to get a singles victory.

Ostler, Kaya Smith, and Alicia Konold also competed for Whitehall.
