BY JIM WIENERS
A McCluer North Boys Tennis doubles team has qualified to compete in the Missouri State High School Activities Association championships May 25-26 at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield, Mo.
Ricky Eaves and Zack Papes will be going to state as the only representatives from a Suburban North Conference high school. Eaves and Papes qualified for state as a result of being a finalist in Class Two, District Three. Eaves and Papes finished as District Three runner up in Class Two losing to a St. Louis University High doubles team of Andrew Vatterott and Andrew Nelson, 6-4, 6-1.
The singles final was an all-SLUH affair as Abe Souza “double-bagled” teammate A.J. Koller, 6-0, 6-0.
SLUH won the district team title with 35.5 points, McCluer North took second with 21, Hazelwood West and Parkway North each had 18.5 points but, unfortunately this writer does not know the tie breaker (sorry), Hazelwood West was awarded third place while Parkway North was fourth. Ritenour was fifth (11) followed by Hazelwood Central (9), Pattonville, (9), Riverview Gardens (8.5), McCluer (6.5) and Hazelwood East (2.5).
McCluer North was to host Hazelwood West May 15 in the team tennis regional round. The winner plays this weekend, dates unannounced at press time, in the team sectionals against Parkway Central or Francis Howell North. SLUH, who played Parkway North on May 15, is to host the team sectionals and quarterfinals while the state semifinals and finals are held May 24 in Springfield.
