Holland Christian doubles team wins state title, Maroons take third in thriller

The Holland Christian boys tennis team secured a third-place finish in the Division 3 state championships.

Hudsonville Unity Christian rounded out the top five with 14 points.

At the center of the story was the No. 3 doubles team of Jonathan Haig and Carter Leep, who claimed the state championship in an intense three-set match. The Maroons overcame Detroit Country Day's Rithik Vakhariya and Henry Diemer with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(2). Notably, the No. 1 doubles duo of Michael Gorno and Graham Tanis made it to the semifinals for the fourth consecutive year, defeating Haslett in the quarterfinals but ultimately falling short to Country Day 6-3, 6-3.
