Marquette takes
Division 1 honors
MARQUETTE - Jon Hill and Mike Piggott of Marquette Senior High School took one for the team at the start of the boys tennis season by playing at No. 1 doubles.
"I wanted to play singles," said Hill, who won a Upper Peninsula No. 2 doubles title in 2008. "We knew we were going to be strong (at singles) this year and coach (Derek Sandstrom) wanted a good doubles lineup, too.
"I like the decision now."
Hill and Piggott won the U.P. Division 1 crown at No. 1 doubles Thursday over Kingsford's Nathan Winkler-Michael Johns (6-2, 6-3) to help the Redmen pocket the team title.
Using team depth, MSHS finished with 16 points to edge runner-up Negaunee, which compiled 14. Kingsford finished third with 10, followed by Escanaba (6), Menominee (5) and Gladstone (2)
Hill and Piggott joined the No. 3 doubles unit of Eric McAuliffe-Andrew Short as the only MSHS winners at the Shiras Courts, although the Redmen competed in seven finals matches.
"Our depth came through," Sandstrom said. "We went 14-0 (in dual meets) and won both the (Great Northern) conference and U.P. titles. It was a great season."
Escanaba's Jeno Cederna capped his prep tennis career with a 16-0 season record and a win at No. 1 singles, beating TJ Myers of Marquette, 6-1, 6-4.
"My serve was going in a lot - I only had one or two double faults," Cederna said. "If I hit it short, he (Myers) would come in for it a lot more, so I just tried to hit it a little deeper."
Said Sandstrom: "In the GNC's, (Myers) took fourth place. So placing second here is a step up.
"Cederna keeps the ball real flat. When it came to passing shots, he managed to keep TJ off balance. Today, he was really effective."
Kingsford picked up one U.P. title, that coming from Tyler Szabo at No. 2 singles.
"Tyler was outstanding," Flivvers coach Mark Shanks said. "He came from behind all year long.
"I'm extremely pleased with our young team. Placing second was our goal and we were right in the hunt.
"But our singles didn't come through," he added. "Nos. 1, 3 and 4 didn't get a point and that made a difference."
