Notes: Coeur d’Alene finished the season unbeaten, with the boys doubles team of Alexander Nipp and Jake Whiting receiving the top seed for boys singles at state starting today at Bishop Kelly High in Boise …. Hannah Black and Kalli DeLeonard are the second seed in girls doubles … “Timberline is really good and Boise has a lot of really good players,” Coeur d’Alene boys coach Corey DeLeonard said. “Lewiston’s No. 1 (Dylan Gomez) is really good and (Coeur d’Alene’s) Turner Cox played really good against him, but he doesn’t make many mistakes. You need to be able to take advantage when he does, because it doesn’t happen often. At regionals, we lost a few players that could have helped us at state because we ended up playing each other in the consolation round. Our kids have stepped up and are ready for the challenge this week.” … Last week's Coeur d'Alene was named an academic state champion in 5A boys tennis by the Idaho High School Activities Association. The Vikings posted a team GPA of 3.838.

Notes: Senior Oskar Hepworth of Coeur d'Alene Charter, who was runner-up at state last year in boys singles, returns and is the top seed at state. “He’s poised to do really well,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Brian King said. “It’s some tough competition, but he’s in a great spot. To be anywhere from fourth to above will be really good, but having a first-round bye helps.” … Sophomore Caitlin Combes, who won the District 1-2 title last week in Lewiston, is also a top seed in girls singles … “Caitlin has a great shot as well,” King said. “Both her and (Charter No. 2 girls singles player) Alex Montgomery (a junior) have a great chance to play in the state final. We’re hoping both can do really well.” … Charter’s boys finished third at state last year, the program’s first team trophy … Charter’s girls are seeking their first in program history … seniors Eden Harger and Jessi Garr-Coles qualified for state in girls doubles, but are both unable to compete due to illness.
