Congratulations to the senior Eden Tennis Team!
Eden had an outstanding showing at the senior SOSSA Tennis Championships in Welland yesterday, with three athletes advancing to the OFSAA Provincial Championships in Toronto!
In mixed doubles, Tatiana Rivett and Austin Moolman captured the SOSSA championship in dominant fashion, defeating their opponents 8–0, 8–1, and 8–3 to claim their first title together! Their brand of power tennis was on full display the entire afternoon, completely overwhelming their opponents.
In boys' singles, Lucas Gong demonstrated incredible determination, winning his first two matches 8–6 before falling to the eventual champion. Lucas then battled through the longest challenge match of the day, defeating the reigning Zone champion from Governor Simcoe, 8–6, to secure second place overall and his ticket to OFSAA!
Special mentions also go to Daisy Dong and Riham Bakhit, who finished with an impressive 2–1 overall record in girls’ doubles, along with Ethan Dyck and Evan MacArthur in boys' doubles and Vaeda Ankersmit in open girls’ singles for their tremendous efforts throughout the season. While they aren’t moving on this time, they were all key parts of the team and contributed greatly to our collective success.
A special thank you to Mr. Zelic, Mr. Stickney, and Mr. Krall for coaching and supporting our athletes throughout their journey.
If you see Austin, Tatiana, or Lucas, be sure to congratulate them on their incredible achievements and wish them luck as they represent Eden at OFSAA, the highest level of high school competition in Ontario! Next practices are Monday and Tuesday at Linlake park, weather permitting.
