SHOREWOOD – The Shorewood boys tennis team made a steller season even brighter on Monday.

The Thunderbirds defeated Sehome 5-2 to capture first place at the Western Conference 4A crossover championship at Shorewood High School.

“It’s wonderful,” said Shorewood tennis coach Corliss Liekkio, who is enjoying her first Wesco 4A title as head coach.

Liekkio was quick to note the singles matches in Monday’s meet, which showcased some of the league’s top talent. Shorewood sophomore Jeff Jablonski defeated Sehome senior Lonny Johnson 6-1, 6- 3 at No. 2 singles. Johnson had been unbeaten this season.

Although Shorewood’s Ryan Michelson lost to Jamey Stoner at No. 1 singles 6-2, 6-2, it was a hard-fought match.

“It was a lot closer (than the scored reflected),” Liekkio said. “I expect Ryan to do better at districts because it’s an indoor court.”

The senior duo of Todd Jones and Divakar Gupta remain undefeated at No. 1 doubles, defeating Sehome’s Joel Sellereit and Matt Staves 6-4, 7-5.

Shorewood, which also won the South Division last year but lost to Cascade in the crossover championship, is 15-1 overall.

“Placing second last year was fun,” Liekkio said. “But this is even more fun.”
