BINGHAMTON – The singles and doubles varsity tennis class C Section IV Championship was recently held at the Binghamton Tennis Center, on May 21.

Despite Oxford high school sending two representatives from their team – Francisco Quintana and Josh Nelson – to compete in the tournament, neither would earn a trip to the upcoming 2016 New York State Championship, which will be held at National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows on June 2-4.

Alex Wang of Corning, Mike Entry and Kolby Reasons would each secure a spot on the state team with Alex Wang emerging the singles champion, defeating Entry in a hotly contested three-setter in the finals at 6-3, 3-6, and 6-4. While Reasons would earn a third place finish when he handily beat Nick Parkes of Lansing at 6-1 and 6-1.

The duo from Oxford would not enter into the singles play of the tournament, instead they paired up to see what their play could earn them in the doubles side of the championship.

The doubles side ultimately would see Aidan Mackenzie and Michael Zhao of Ithaca, Steven Carman and Alexander Glickman of Ithaca, and Gavin DeWitt and Dustin McCullough claim a trip to the upcoming state championship.

Mackenzie and Zhao would earn the first place spot when they defeated Carmen and Glickman in the finals in a three setter, ultimately winning the crown at 6-2, 3-6, and 6-3.
