The Eagles continued their reign of supremacy at regions and looked poised to do the same at state.
The key to the longstanding success of the West Anchorage tennis program hasn’t just been the participation of several top players year after year. What’s separated the Eagles from the rest of the pack annually is how their tremendous depth helps produce surprising results and upsets.
While Marx didn’t advance to the next round, and neither did Cebrian because of an injury forfeit due to a sore wrist, the Eagles were still well-represented in the finals on Saturday as they cruised to a sixth straight regional title. Clendaniel and Sedwick both made it to the state finals last year as part of different pairings in different divisions. Clendaniel finished first in state in boys doubles with Jude Cebrian as his partner and Sedwick finished in state in mixed doubles with Ava Smith as his partner.
“I’ve looked forward to playing with Cyrus again,” Sedwick said. “I knew that when my senior year came, I was going to play with him. We both knew that we’d be playing boys doubles and that we’d have a chance at winning.” Their match wasn’t the only finals bout that required a third-set tiebreaker to decide a winner. The most exciting and tightly contested match of the day was the second meeting of the season between Service’s Ulysses Escobar and South’s Aaron Griffin. While the two of them are friends, they’re fierce rivals on the court and were the last two standing at last year’s state finals, when Griffin ultimately prevailed with a decisive victory.
