THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Team tennis is the first fall sport to begin district competition, and Grand Oaks, College Park and Oak Ridge each opened District 13-6A play with a victory Friday, Aug. 14.

Grand Oaks and College Park started with 19-0 victories, while Oak Ridge defeated Willis 13-6 in a matchup that included several matches decided by tiebreaks.

Grand Oaks opened on the road against Caney Creek and came away with a 19-0 team victory. Adam DeBoer and Pierson Born won the No. 1 boys doubles match, Brooklyn Pulvino and Paige Porter played at No. 1 girls doubles, and Alina Escamilla and Jack Erbele represented the Grizzlies in mixed doubles.   

College Park opened its district schedule with a 19-0 home victory over Conroe. Michael Beal and Maxime Crepin won at No. 1 boys doubles, while Celia Viator and Valentina Betancourt took the No. 1 girls doubles match. Joshua Staub and Keira Ward added the mixed doubles victory.   

The Cavaliers continued through singles without giving up a team point. Their lineup included Beal, Crepin, Staub, Luke Cott, Mattia Hoffmann and Jose Eduardo Navarro on the boys side, with Betancourt, Maria Fernanda Navarro, Ward, Charlotte Lyman, Zuri Naba and Ana Lucia Navarro in girls singles. The official team score was 19-0.

Oak Ridge and Willis produced the most competitive team match of the opening district slate.

The War Eagles won 13-6, but five individual matches required deciding 10-point tiebreaks. Oak Ridge was credited with three of those five decisions, an important margin in a match in which Willis captured six points overall.  

Callie Stocker and Sabrina Grove were involved in one of those three-set girls doubles matches for Oak Ridge. Max Qu, Marshall Acevedo and Ethan Schlitz were among the Oak Ridge players involved in tightly contested singles matches that also reached deciding tiebreaks.  

Oak Ridge also built its team total through girls singles, with Ella Barker, Rhea Robichaux, Sophie Dorrett, Fiona Mire, Grove and Ma Alisagem Rebosura listed in the six singles positions as the War Eagles completed the 13-6 victory.

Next up in District 13-6A

District competition continues Tuesday, Aug. 18. College Park travels to Willis in a matchup between a 1-0 Cavaliers team and a Willis team looking for its first district victory. Oak Ridge returns home to face Caney Creek, while Conroe travels to The Woodlands.

Grand Oaks receives a forfeit victory over Cleveland for the district match scheduled Tuesday, Aug. 18. The forfeit moves the Grizzlies to 2-0 in district play without playing the scheduled match.

With the district schedule underway, each result begins to carry postseason weight. Four teams from District 13-6A will ultimately advance to the postseason, making the early head-to-head results and close individual matches important as the district race develops.
