HUNTSVILLE — Three first-place finishes and another placed third.

It’s fair to say that things went pretty well for the Huntsville tennis team at the Magnolia West tournament last Friday.

Huntsville showed what happens with a little bit of teamwork as three of its doubles teams walked away with titles by tournament’s end.

Kyle Thompson and Katrina Culver won the “A” mixed doubles titles after winning their two matches 6-4, 7-6 and then 6-3, 5-7, 10-8.

In “B” mixed doubles, Aaron Brown and Karly Culver didn’t lose a set in their three matches. Brown and Culver rolled through their first-round match 6-4, 6-3. The pair advanced to the finals after winning 6-3, 6-4 and rolled to the tournament championship 6-4, 6-3.

Kaitlyn Vanecek and Sarah Green also finished in first place in “B” girls doubles, with 8-3 and 8-0 victories in the first two rounds before winning in the finals 6-2, 7-6.

In “B” boys doubles, Cody Oliphant and Nathan Inmon lost their second-round match 6-3, 6-2 after winning in the first round 6-1, 6-2. The pair bounced back to win 8-5 for third place.

Sarah Fry and Lexie Prier won their first-round match 6-0, 4-6, but lost their final two matches to place fourth.

After losing a three-set match in the first-round, Stephen Hoff and Ronnie Carter rebounded in their next two matches with an 8-0 and 6-1, 6-1 wins to win the consolation championship.

In “A” singles action, Cody Sanchez and Alina Mahmood bounced back from opening-round losses to win consolation championships.

Roman Torrano and Matt Brown had matches in “B” boys singles. Torrano lost his first match, but bounced back to win in the next round 8-5. Torrano closed with a 2-6, 6-1, 10-2 defeat.

Brown lost his first two matches, but finished with an 8-7 victory.

The Huntsville tennis team returns to action when they host a tournament on Friday.

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark.

Bad day for Bearkats
The Bearkats’ road to the NCAA tournament just got a little bit tougher.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke out for four runs before top-seeded Sam Houston even stepped to the plate Wednesday afternoon, but the Kats couldn’t find a way to counter that first punch.
Sam Houston connected for eight hits, but could not get enough of those in a row to make a dent in the deficit and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the Southland Conference tournament following a 9-2 loss at the hands of the eighth-seeded Islanders on Wednesday afternoon at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark.
