North, Verot tennis players qualify for state tournament
Prep Report 4-13-22
North Fort Myers sent two tennis players to the state Class 3A championships Tuesday with wins in the Region 3A-13 tournament.
Bishop Verot claimed two spots in the 2A state tourney.
North’s Ronald Wong won at No. 1 singles, then partnered with Red Knights teammate Duncan Fisher to take the No. 1 doubles title in competition at Cape Coral High School.
Wong and Fisher advance directly to the state 3A tournament in singles and doubles. That tournament takes place in Seminole County April 25-27.
The Class 2A tournament is April 27-29, and will feature Bishop Verot netters Rod Dormeier and Kevin Johns. Dormeier won the No. 1 singles title in District 2A-12, and Johns joined him to take the No. 1 doubles crown.
Bishop Verot won both boys and girls team titles in 2A-12.
Despite also having the top team score (12) in 3A-12, North Fort Myers did not advance as a team to next week’s Region 3A-4 tournament. The Red Knights failed to qualify by not having five singles players.
As a result, Riverdale edged out Cape Coral 9-8 to take home the boys’ district title.
North Fort Myers’ girls easily won their District 3A-12 championship.
