Micah Franklin fended off a ‘hot handed’ Jules Snagg of OECS in the first round of play in Boys U 19. Jules had a strong start in each of the games and mixed in some surprising attacking boasts from mid-court on the the left side. Franklin played steady working Snagg side to side with a mixture of working shots to the front court.
D’Vario Thompson showed great concentration and focus to contain a feisty OECS opponent. Thompson mixed in some attention-grabbing attacking shots with solid forcing drives. This was a tight match all the way through, but D’vario’s up tempo play secured a 3-1 victory.
Kion Knights had a solid showing in the first round of the Boys Under 15 draw. Madeleine Rose, 2nd seed in the Girls U13 draw starts here play tomorrow. Alex Marshall cruised through her first match and looks forward to her match with 2nd seed Charlotte Knaggs of T&T.
Noah Brown and Chris Stout pushed their ¾ seeded opponents to 3-1. Noah lost out to a fit Andrew Arjoon of Guyana. Andrew played steady throughout the match. Brown had his chances as he forced the play into the front of the court where he trapped Arjoon effectively. The match lacked nothing and no one in the crowd left disappointed as Arjoon and Brown displayed some diving gets, carved some brilliant volley drops into the front corners, extended rallies with excellent retrievals and if that wasn’t enough……the lights even went during play.
