Brandon boys netters capture second in league tournament

The Brandon boys tennis team tried their utmost to win the Flint Metro League tournament May 11 at Fenton.
However, the Blackhawks ran into a juggernaut in the form of the Holly Bronchos.
Holly won the tournament with 22 points, beating out the second-place Blackhawks, who finished with 15 points. Fenton and Lapeer East tied for third with nine points.
As a result, Holly won the outright league championship, while Brandon finshed second and Fenton third.
Brandon senior Jeremiah DeJose fell short in his bid for the #1 singles title, losing to Holly’s Steve Wilson 6-4, 6-2 in the championship match.
Two other Blackhawks, Brian Quarrella at #3 singles and Glenn Brado at #4 singles, made it to the championship matches in their respective brackets before losing in their championship matches.
In addition, four Brandon doubles teams — Kyle Racher and Aaron Bayliss at #1 doubles, Garrett Warrilow and Kyle Hartwig at #2 doubles, Chris Nuccio and Tom Gunnells at #3 doubles, and David Hughes and Steve Sanday at #4 doubles — earned runner-up honors in their brackets.
