The set scores were 6-3, 6-3, 10-8.

“These two are evenly matched stars,” Sandpoint tennis coach Kent Anderson said. “They’ve battled in gut-wrenching matches for years and finally (Neva) came out on top. I’m so proud of her.”

Maise Brazill refused to give an inch in her number two girls singles match.

She nearly notched a clean sweep victory over Coeur d'Alene's Sarah Goode. She won 6-0, 6-1.

The boys also notched a victory as a team by defeating the Vikings 3-2.

Jacob Dawson, who has been on a hot streak as of late, was the lone winner at boys' singles.

He defeated CJ Giao 6-2, 6-4.

The set scores were 6-1, 7-5, 10-7.

“Both teams played with a lot of athleticism,” Anderson said. “They’re both poised to make a big run at the district tournament.”
