He said two of his doubles teams and a girls’ singles player had good days against a tough field. The Wildcats boys doubles team of Aaron Lucas and Logan Schumacher lost their first match of the day in the cold weather to Whitehouse but then warmed up like the weather to win a consolation final match. Coach Martinez said his duo won the finals match, 8-4 or 8-5. Wildcats girls’ singles player Harleigh Stegient won a finals match in B Division consolation.
