On Feb. 3, Coral Shores hosted Marathon’s boys and girls tennis teams. The Hurricanes swept the girls matches 7-0 and defeated five of seven contenders on the boys team. Charlotte MacEachern, Kai Guth, Chloe Koval, Emily Rosu and Emma Sogegeian won their singles matches in the one through five spots. MacEachern and Guth teamed up to win the doubles one match and Koval and Rosu did the same in doubles two. 

Marathon’s number-one player in boys tennis, Adrien Holdinga, won his match. Holdinga recently received an offer to play tennis for Embry Riddle and will sign his letter of intent next week. Also winning for the Fins was the number two doubles team of Matt Delgado and Kasimir Krzypkowski. Number two Zach Bolan and three through five Rory MacEachern, Jaden Heibron and Corben Dean won their matches for the Hurricanes.
