The Lady Rocket JV Tennis team dominated the competition this past weekend at the Fruitport Invitational. There were six flights at this six team tournament and the Lady Rockets captured first place thanks to four flight championships and two runner-up finishes. Winning the top flight, and becoming the top doubles team in the tournament, were Kalie Beerman and Brooke Vanderstelt. Other flight champions were Sierra Boyd, Gwen Swanson, Rachel DeMuro, Heather Murphy, Megan Kendra, Courtney Prim, Lindsey Meyers and Ashton Marshall. Taking runner-up positions for the Rockets were Courtney Burnham, Holly Herline and Madeline Pavlik. The pivotal win for the Rockets came at one doubles where Kalie and Brooke won in a tie-breaker over a previously undefeated team from Spring Lake. This win also ended Spring Lake’s bid for a three-peat in this tournament. Grandville came in third. Congratulations Lady Rockets!
