WILMINGTON – Avery Bradshaw won the third singles bracket Tuesday in the SBAAC American Division tennis tournament at Wilmington High School.

The WHS freshman claimed the lone title for the Hurricane, who finished second to New Richmond in the overall team standings.

The tournament runnerup gives Wilmington a shot at the outright league crown. WHS faces Western Brown and New Richmond in its final two league matches. A pair of wins would give Wilmington the championship.

Clinton-Massie finished tied for fourth place in the tournament. Austin Faucett’s third place finish was the top placement for the Falcons.

Bradshaw won the title with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Jachmen of New Richmond.

“Avery showed amazing grit and toughness in his win,” WHS coach Steve Reed said.

One of the top matches of the day came in the first singles bracket where Wilmington’s Brayden Rhoads defeated Clinton-Massie’s Clayton Amburgy 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) in the semifinal round. Amburgy had defeated Rhoads twice during the regular season.

“Brayden played his best tennis of the year to beat (Amburgy) in a two and a half hour match,” said Reed.
