Saturday roundup: Jackson's Alvin Altman wins district tennis championship
Jackson junior Alvin Altman will head to the state boys tennis tournament as a district champion.
Altman won his semifinal match 6-2, 6-2 against Walsh Jesuit senior Caleb Miller, then rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 win in the championship match against Warren Harding senior Anthony Payiaivas during Saturday’s Division I district tennis tournament at Springside Athletic Club.
Altman, the Canton sectional champion, already had punched his ticket to next week’s state tournament in Mason by winning two matches on Thursday to advance to the district semifinals.
Jackson’s doubles team of seniors Ryan Kelley and Lucas Immel also is heading to Mason for the state tournament after winning two matches on Thursday. On Saturday, Kelley and Immel lost 7-6, 6-3 to University School’s Dean Kirchick and Nathan Mu in a semifinal match, then fell to Avon’s AJ Sidoti and Luke LeMaster 6-4, 7-5 in the third-place match to finish fourth.
Kirchick and Mu went on to win the district championship.
GlenOak freshman Dylan Wiles missed on a chance to earn a state berth in singles Saturday. Wiles lost in a consolation bracket match against Highland junior Elijah Hadler 6-2, 6-3.
Congratulations to Alvin Altman and @PurpleCircusLT! Alvin wins both matches today to place 1st and will be at State Tournament next weekend. Joining him at State will be doubles team of Lucas Immel and Ryan Kelley! pic.twitter.com/ND2sinelXC
