DUBOIS — The Bradford duo of Tylin Hilyard and Lily Kemick notched a first-round victory at Monday’s District 9 Class AA doubles girls tennis tournament before falling in the quarterfinals.
Hilyard and Kemick defeated the duo of Catherman/Olsen from Clearfield 10-2, after falling behind 1-2 to start the match.
“After a few small adjustments, they started to dominate at the net,” Bradford coach Doug Atteberry said. “Once they got the lead they didn’t look back.”
Hilyard and Kemick would go on to fall to the eventual runner-up pair of Klaiber/Blessel from St. Marys, 10-2.
Bradford’s other doublees team, consisting of Alisiya Dansberger and Jaylee Koppenhaver, fell in the first round, 10-7. After falling into an early deficit, they weren’t able to climb back into the match despite a sharp serving performance.
“We are going to miss our seniors (Hilyard) and (Dansberger),” Atteberry said. “They have worked hard to build the Lady Owl tennis program. Coach Close and I wish them all the best as they are both planning on attending college next fall.”
