High school boys’ tennis

The wait is over. CBC has won its first ever district championship in tennis. The Cadets won the Class 2, District 3 tournament, which was held at CBC’s Cadet Park. CBC finished first with 25.5 points, followed by Parkway Central (25.5), Ladue (18) and DeSmet (15.5). CBC became the district champ based on the first tie-breaking criteria – most entries advancing to the state tournament. The individuals who qualified for state were:
• Singles: first place – Matt Kuelker (CBC); second place – Dallen Klassen (CBC). • Doubles: first place – Michael Davis and Ash Sampath (Parkway Central); second place – Adam King and Jake Goodman (Lafayette). The state tournament for teams will be held on May 27 at Springfield’s Cooper Tennis Complex. The state meet for individuals will be held on May 28-29 in Springfield. From each district meet, the top two singles players and top two doubles teams qualify. This is CBC Coach John Tiernan’s second year at the helm. “The tennis district in which the school competes is loaded with some great teams,” Tiernan said. “Last year, we fell short and placed fifth and just out of the team competition.” CBC senior Matt Kuelker is the defending state champion, and he won the District 3 meet with a victory over fellow Cadet senior Dallen Klassen, who retired down 0-4. Kuelker, who is CBC’s first ever singles champion, improved to 45-0 going to back when he won third place at state as a sophomore. Klassen suffered his first loss this season when he could not continue against Kuelker. “This year, we are blessed to have four
singles players who are solid in each of their positions,” Tiernan said. “We swept the four singles championships in the MCC (Metro Catholic Conference) tournament but placed second. You get more points for a doubles win, and we couldn’t buy a win in doubles. “In order to have a chance of making it as one of the final four teams in districts, we thought Matt and Dallen had an excellent shot at making the final, but we also needed a couple of doubles wins from our No. 3 and No. 4 singles players, Arthur Lueking and Mike Tracy, who teamed up as No. 1 doubles in district play, and from Dalton Demos and Alec Maglione, who played No. 2 doubles in districts. We were able to accomplish that goal, and that propelled us to the district title.” Kuelker will be going on to play college tennis at Cleveland State University. Klassen will play for Marist College in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. In Class 2, District 1, Kirkwood won with 34 points. Other team scores were Parkway South 21.5, Eureka 17.5, Oakville 16, Mehlville 13, Summit 10.5, Lindbergh 9.5, Vianney 9.5, Webster Groves 7, Cape Girardeau Central 2, and Poplar Bluff 0. Parkway South and Eureka advance in the team competition.
