Bonaparte, Ida Baker’s No. 1 singles player, took home the District 3A-11 crown and qualified for the state tournament. He defeated his opponent 6-4, 6-0 in the championship match. Bonaparte also won a district title in doubles with Todd Bennie, and the team went undefeated during the regular season.

“It has been a great year and have really enjoyed being a part of this team. We’re always pulling for each other, which I was not used to before coming to high school tennis. Playing No. 1 as a freshman was challenging, but I’m happy we had a historic season. Going to states with Todd makes it even more special.”

As Ida Baker’s No. 2 player, Bennie captured a District 3A-11 title and qualified for the state tournament. He defeated his opponent 6-2, 6-3 in the championship match. Bennie also won a district crown in doubles with Nicolas Bonaparte, putting together an undefeated regular season as a doubles pairing.

“I can’t imagine a better way to wrap up my high school tennis career than helping to bring these District championship titles to Ida Baker in both singles and doubles. I knew Nico and I would make a great doubles team and ending the regular season undefeated makes it a dream. Whatever happens at states, we’re grateful for this awesome opportunity and hope to bring a trophy back to Baker.”
