KINGSFORD — The tennis courts at Kingsford High School were alive with competition on Saturday as the Kingsford girls varsity tennis team held the Kingsford Invite.

With West Iron, Luther L. Wright, Escanaba, Kingsford and Iron Mountain in attendance, the Flivvers finished second behind the Eskymos.

“It was a great day at the KHS Invite,” Flivvers head coach Tracy Rutter said. “Regardless of winning or not, I am beyond proud of the girls.

“I have to give a special thanks to Katy Hicks and Alec Shanks for helping to make sure everything ran smoothly.”

Kingford’s Aubrie Moore continued her dominance this season and brought home first place at the invite in No. 1 singles.

She defeated Iron Mountain’s Avea Brown (6-2, 6-2), Jacinta Lauzon (6-2, 6-3), West Iron’s Kaitlyn Smith (6-4, 7-6 (7)) and Maggie Martin (7-5, 6-3) from Escanaba.

Aubrey Phillips also took home first in No. 3 singles.

She defeated Iron Mountain’s Jacalyn Rowe (6-2, 6-4), Lucy Stehlik (6-2, 6-2), West Iron’s Kaycee Ingram (6-3, 6-2) and Escanaba’s Sophie Hill (6-3, 6-3).

Flivvers’ freshman Kylee Woodward also brought home second in No. 4 singles. She won one by forfeit before defeating Otylia Golebiowski (6-2, 6-3) and West Iron’s Rochelle Bear (7-5, 6-4). Woodward ultimately lost to Escanaba’s Raegan Dubord (5-7, 6-7).

“Kylee Woodward hasn’t played a varsity match this season,” Rutter said, “to be thrown in at the last minute and take second is something to be very proud of. She is a freshman, very eager to learn and win. I am excited for her future with the team.”

The Flivvers’ No. 1 doubles pairing, Audrey Veale and Libby Vross also ended the day in second place. They picked up wins over Iron Mountain’s Veronica Stanchina and Betsy Vanegas (6-2, 6-2), Luther L.

“No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles are looking forward to a rematch with Escanaba on Thursday,” Rutter said. “They are very equal, I am confident the girls will get the wins they have fallen short on.”
