PREP TENNIS: Lake City's Nesbit wins girls singles title at regionals

| May 14, 2022 1:25 AM

COEUR d’ALENE — Lake City sophomore Maddy Nesbit defeated Coeur d’Alene junior Audrey Judson 6-1, 6-2 in the girls singles championship as the 5A Region 1 tennis tournament concluded Friday at Coeur d’Alene High.

“It feels really good, because I’ve worked really hard for it,” said Nesbit, who qualified for state last year by finishing third at regionals. “I was a lot more mentally focused, and focused on getting my first serves in.”

Judson also qualified for state, as the top three finishers in all singles and doubles advance to state May 20-21 at four sites in Boise.

Nesbit said the strength of her game is consistency, something she hopes carries her at state, where she went 0-2 and learned the competition at state is “really high; so much higher than anybody here.”

“I’m going to try to stay as consistent as I can, and try to win as many matches as I can,” Nesbit said of state.

Turner Cox of Coeur d'Alene qualified for state after finishing second in boys singles.

Coeur d'Alene's Connor Judson (boys singles), Alexander Nipp/Jake Whiting (boys doubles) and Amy Corette/Luke May (mixed doubles) also qualified. Madi Barkley and Addie Muir (girls doubles) qualified for Post Falls.

Lewiston won the overall, boys and girls team titles.
