PETOSKEY â One of the first signs that the spring season is winding down comes on the tennis courts.
Tennis regionals in Michigan always seem to be the first sign of a quick season coming to a close and thatâs exactly whatâs in store this week.
The exciting news for the Petoskey girls tennis team comes in the fact that the Northmen will actually get the chance to host its Division 3 regional tournament on Thursday, May 14.
To prepare for some raised competition, the Petoskey girls team put together a busy week that included a home quad against the likes of Forest Hills Eastern, St. Clair and Elk Rapids, while also competing in the Big North Conference finals.
Petoskey's girls tennis team got in a busy week ahead of its hosted Division 3 regional tournament on Thursday, May 14, which included a strong showing in a quad.
In the home quad, Petoskey topped both Elk and St. Clair by scores of 7-1, then dropped a 5-3 match against Forest Hills Eastern, ranked No. 10 in Division 3 and future regional opponent.
Against Elk, Petoskey swept the singles matches, with Tara Brantly (No. 1), Lola Clarke (2), Lexi Wang (3) and Ellie Daniel (4) all earning wins. Wangâs win came as a 6-0, 6-0 sweep, while Brantly pulled her win out in a three-set 6-3, 5-7, 10-6 final.
Lucia Andrews and Lani Wang of the No. 2 doubles set earned a win, as did Eliza Rogier and Paige Hubbard of No. 3 and Fiona Boyer and Josie Peterman from the No. 4 team.
Against St. Clair, Brantly, Lexi Wang and Daniel all earned singles wins, with Wang again standing out, dropping only a lone point.

Doubles then swept against St. Clair, with Eva Rindfusz and Meg Gietzen earning a forfeit win at No. 1 doubles.
The three victories for Petoskey in the FHE match came from Lexi Wang at No. 3 singles in 6-2, 6-2, then the No. 1 doubles team of Rindfusz and Gietzen in a 6-2, 6-4 win, along with the No. 2 team of Andrews and Lani Wang, 6-4, 6-0.
Petoskeyâs Big North Conference championship match came highlighted by a second place finish in the league, as Traverse City West earned the title behind 13 points, followed by TC Central and Petoskey, each with 10. Cadillac then earned seven and Alpena, zero.
Petoskey athletes show off medals from a runner-up finish in the Big North Conference tennis finals held over the weekend, which came as good prep for the regional tournament ahead.
Leading for Petoskey was Lexi Wang out of the No. 3 singles spot again, with the sophomore recording a 6-0, 6-0 win our Alpena and a 7-5, 6-4 win over Cadillac.
The No. 4 doubles team of Boyer and Peterman also earned two wins, with the freshman and senior duo claiming a 6-0, 6-1 win over TC West and a 7-6(5), 6-2 win over TC Central.
All other Petoskey flights earned at least one win to contribute to the runner-up finish.
When Petoskey hosts regionals Thursday, with an 8:30 a.m. start time between the upper and lower Petoskey High School courts and Petoskey Bay View lakeside courts, theyâll do so welcoming some of the best in Division 3.
