Biggest dual meet in Big Nine Conference boys tennis history

April 22, 1980

Flushing 4, Grand Blanc 3

At Flushing Under the guidance of the legendary Art Vince and a gangly left-hander named Curtis Wright (pictured below), Flushing downed Grand Blanc, 4-3, to become the first Big Nine Conference team to beat the Bobcats. The historic victory was clinched when Wright beat Grand Blanc’s Tom Johnson, 7-6, 6-3, at No. 1 singles.

The Raiders’ triumph ended Grand Blanc’s string of consecutive Big Nine dual-meet victories at 66. Later on that season, Flushing would become the first Big Nine team, other than Grand Blanc, to win the overall conference title.

Notes:

*This was the first year for the Saginaw Valley Tournament. The first East (E) and West (W) Division tournaments were held on May 14, 1976 at both Midland and Midland Dow High Schools. Before 1976, the SVL title was decided by dual-meet records. Under the new format, the duals and tournaments each counted 50 percent towards determining the overall league champion. Key: S = Spring, F = Fall.

Flint Southwestern’s Robert Sorscher captured Saginaw Valley Conference East Division and Flint City Series titles at No. 1 singles in 1977.

The 2009 season also marked the first time since the spring of 1959 that there were only two Flint schools that had boys’ tennis teams. 6. *There was no city championship awarded in 2012 and ‘13 because Flint Southwestern was the only city school with a boys’ tennis team. Flint Northern and Flint Northwestern canceled their 2012 seasons before playing a match. Northern was closed following the 2012-13 school year and Northwestern did not field team again in 2013. Flint Central and Flint Northern both started boys programs in 1928 and the City Series championship was first awarded in 1929. Flint Southwestern fielded its first team in 1960 and Flint Northwestern started playing in 1965.

KLAA Notes:

1. The Kensington Lakes Activities Association is a new league that began competition in all sports at the start of the 2008-09 school year.

2. Grand Blanc plays in the KLAA West Division. KLAA Divisional championships are determined by a dual-meet records.

3. The KLAA has two conferences – Lakes and Kensington. The North and West divisions are in the Lakes Conference and the Central and South divisons are in the Kensington Conference. Each conference has its own tournament.

4. After the Lakes and Kensington tournaments (2008-10), the winners of each conference play each other in a dual to determine the overall KLAA champion. This format was disbanded after the 2010-11 school year.

5. At the beginning of the 2011-12 school year, the KLAA changed the way it crowns an overall association champion. Instead of dual between the two conference champions, the top three teams in each of the four divisons play in the KLAA “A” tournament, with the winner being named KLAA Associaton champon.

6. Tim Wang won back-to-back Division 1 state championships at No. 1 singles in 2013 and ’14, beating Connor Johnston in the championship match each year. Novi captured the Division 1 team state championship in 2014.

“A night and a day in Ortonville”

Sept. 21, 2010 and Sept. 24, 2010

Ortonville Brandon 4, Holly 4 Ortonville, Michigan – It was supposed to be a normal high school tennis match.

But there was no way it was going to be anything but special. Night matches and 50 dual-meet winning streaks can hardly be considered normal. After one night and one day of competition, Brandon sophomore Nick Skinsacos (pictured on the right being carried off the court by his teammates) edged Holly junior Colton Richards 7-6 (10-8), 2-6, 7-5 at No. 4 singles, knotting the final score at 4-4.

The tie ended the Bronchos’ Flint-area record 50 dual-meet winning streak. Holly had not left a dual without a victory since a 6-2 loss to Brighton on April 20, 2004.The Bronchos had won a Metro League record 62 straight duals with their last blemish being a 4-3 loss at Lapeer West on April 29, 1999.

Holly and Brandon were forced to play the first night tennis dual in Flint-area history on Sept. 21, 2010 because of prior scheduling conflicts. The Bronchos and the Blackhawks each had matches scheduled that day – Holly hosted Lapeer West and Brandon hosted Clio – before playing each other. The Holly-Brandon dual was moved from Brandon High to the school district’s Harvey Swanson Elementary School because its eight-court facility is equipped with lights. The match began at 6:45 p.m. and it didn’t take long for it to become a legend.

With both teams pulling off upsets, the teams were tied 3-3 after the first six matches came off the courts. Holly assured itself of at least a tie when junior Sam Caldwell (photo on the left) upset Brandon senior McKenzie Walsh, 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2, at No. 2 singles to give thet Bronchos a 4-3 lead. With Skinsacos leading Richards late in the third set in the dual’s final match, the lights clicked off at 10 p.m., forcing the dual to be postponed. The lights at Harvey Swanson Elementary School are hooked up to a timer that is set to go on at 7:30 p.m. and go off at 10 o’clock sharp. The match was supposed to be completed on Sept. 22, but

it ended up being pushed back to Sept. 24 because Holly was not able to get a bus on Sept. 22. When play resumed on Sept. 24, Skinsacos lost the first game and then won the next two to win the match and tie the final score. The tie put both teams at 6-0-1 in the Metro.

Notes: 1. The Journal awarded a player of the year in 2009 but no coach of the year. Because of major

changes at The Journal in the spring of 2009, All-Area teams, which featured both Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards, were suspended. Instead, The Journal published a Dream Team – top area player in each sport. The Journal reinstated All-Area teams at the end of the 2009 fall sports season. The 12-player All-Area tennis team was replaced with a five-player Dream Team and a Coach of the Year in the spring of 2011.

2. The Journal selected a Dream Team Tennis Player of the Year in 2013, ’14 and ‘15. The Journal has not selected a coach of the year since the 2012 season.

1At the start of the 1976-77 school year, the Michigan High School Athletic Association changed the state tournament format to that of a team tournament with the top two teams in each regional and the winner and runner-up at No. 1 singles advancing to the state finals. 2 Grand Blanc played in the Class A regional at Rochester. It tied for second place with Port Huron Northern. The Bobcats lost out on going to the state finals, as a team, when they lost a playoff to Port Huron Northern. 3 Grand Blanc played in the Class A regional at Rochester. 4 The MHSAA altered the team format to allow all teams that score 16 points to qualify for the state finals. 5 The 1996 girls’ tennis season marked the end of the state’s class structure. At the conclusion of the 1996-97 school year, the MHSAA dropped the class format in favor of a divisional format.

Year Winner Runner-up Other State qualifiers 2015 Cadillac (22) Big Rapids (10) None

Area results: 2015: 3. Clio 9; 4. Bay City John Glenn, Goodrich, Corunna 5. Notes: 1. Clio missed the state’s minimum state-qualifying standard by one point. 2. Because there were only six teams in the regional, the state’s minimum qualificiation to advance to the state finals

was reduced from 18 to 10 points. 3. Lake Fenton, Flint Northwestern and Flint Southwestern were supposed to be in the regional, but they did not end up

participating. Lake Fenton and Northwestern did not field teams in 2015, and Southwestern, which had 14 girls on its roster, opted not to attend the regional the week before it was played. Southwestern had several girls that were scheduled to take an International Bachelorette test on May 14, and it could not be rescheduled. So, the Knights did not go.

9 The Big Nine Conference changed its format for determining its overall champion from a two-thirds/one-third system to a 50/50 system. With the two-thirds/one-thirds system, the league dual-meets counted two-thirds and the season-ending tournament counted one-third towards determining the overall champion. In the 50/50 system, the duals and the tournament each count 50 percent towards determining the overall champion.

Grand Blanc’s Alicia Ambrose is the only girl in Big Nine Conference history to win four league titles at No. 1 singles (1991-94). She was also a four-time first-team All-State pick in Class A.

At Powers

Sooner or later it had to come to an end. After dominating the Big Nine Conference since girls’ tennis became a conference sport in 1974, Grand Blanc saw its string of 98 consecutive league dual-meet victories come to a halt when Powers Catholic beat the Bobcats, 4-3, on October 5, 1988. The Chargers, later that season, would win the Big Nine Tournament and become the first conference school, other than Grand Blanc, to win the overall championship.

did not field a team for the third straight year and Flint Northwestern did not field a team for first time since the sport’s inception in the city in 1975. Based on past city precedent, city champions can be crowned either by dual-meet competition, finish at the city tournament, or a combination of both. Northern closed at the end of the 2012-13 school year, leaving Northwestern and Southwestern as the only Flint city schools. Northwestern has not fielded a girls team since 2012, and therefore there has not been a city championship the last three seasons.

Flint Northern’s Erin Jeffes won three straight City Series championships at No. 1 singles from 1992-94. She took runner-up honors at a Class A regional tournament in 1994.

The tournament, which featured only Flint Southwestern and Flint Northwestern, was supposed to take place on May 14, but it was canceled because Northwestern could not get a bus. It was rescheduled for May 21 before being canceled because of inclement weather. It was rescheduled again for May 22, but it was canceled for the last time because Northwestern coach Derrick Johnson had a doctor’s appointment. Because Southwestern beat Northwestern in the team’s regular-season dual, Northwestern conceded the city championship to Southwestern. The 2011 season would be the last time Northwestern would field a girls tennis team, bringing the Flint City Series to an end.

Flint Southwestern’s Audrey Smith is the only girl to win four City Series titles at No. 1 singles, having won four in a row from 1988-91

Notes: The Saginaw Valley Conference annexed the remaining Big Nine Conference schools – Flint Carman-Ainsworth, Davison, Flushing and Flint Powers Catholic – at the beginning ot the 2012-13 school year, and it split into North and South Divisions. SVC divisional champions were determined by dual-meet standings, with the overall league champion being decided by a season-ending league tournament that encompases both North and South schools. Flushing left the SVL at the end of the 2013-14 school year. Lapeer East and Lapeer West combined to form Lapeer High at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, and the new Lapeer Lighthing team took Flushing’s vacated spot in the SVC South. The Flint and Saginaw schools stopped competing in the SVC before the start of the 2016 spring season, and as a result, the SVC scrapped the North-South divisional format and went to one 10-team league.

KLAA Notes:

1. The Kensington Lakes Activities Association is a new league that began competition in all sports at the start of the 2008-09 school year.

2. Grand Blanc plays in the KLAA West Division. Divisonal titles are awarded as a result of dual-meet competition. 3. The KLAA has two conferences – Lakes and Kensington. The North and West divisions are in the Lakes Conference

and the Central and South divisons are in the Kensington Conference. Each conference has its own tournament. 4. Beginning in the 2009-10 school year, after the Lakes and Kensington tournaments, the winners of each conference

play each other in a dual to determine the overall KLAA champion. 5. At the beginning of the 2011-12 school year, the KLAA changed the way it crowns an overall association champion.

Instead of dual between the two conference champions, the top three teams in each of the four divisons play in a KLAA “A” tournament, with the winner being named KLAA Associaton champon.
