Megen Cochran Megen Cochran played excellent tennis and took home both the Girls 16's singles and doubles at the National Regionals in Norcross. It was a great tournament for Megen as she now gets ready to compete at the 18's level this upcoming weekend. Also, Elliott Orkin took home 3rd place in boys 18's singles and Christopher Yun took the backdraw in the boys 14's up in Rome. There were other solid performances by McClain Kessler, McCartney Kessler and Sophia Sury. I am very proud of all the rookies as they continue to perform well towards the end of the year.

Orkin takes Raleigh Southern Bullfrog by storm

Elliott Orkin SDTA's top player Elliott Orkin went to the Southern Bullfrog in Raleigh, NC as a 9th seed and came out as the singles champion in the Boys 18 & under category. He did it without a loss of a set and defeated 2nd seed Beck Pennington, Connor Clemens, and finally got his win over his nemesis Andrew Schafer in the finals. It was a fantastic effort by Elliott and a gret start to the 18 & under division.

Also, SDTA's Megen Cochran had a great run as a 9th seed and got all the way to the semifinals and finished 3rd in the girls 18 & under division. We saw a solid play from many SDTA players like quarterfinalist Christopher Yun, Round of 16 Kristen Jones, Parker Evertsen, McClain Kessler & McCartney Kessler in their respective divisions. We also had some great improvement from other players that are starting to show some game at this Southern championships. Congratulations to all!
