“Tell played an incredible match,” Whitehall coach Greg McManus said. “He out-gritted Sam.”

Sutton’s victory, as well as two other flights in which the Vikes reached the finals, helped Whitehall to a third-place finish as a team at the meet. Mona Shores dominated with six victories out of the eight flights. Muskegon Catholic Central won the second doubles flight.

Reeths-Puffer placed sixth at the GMAA meet.
