Sandpoint wins, sends record 12

to state

COEUR d'ALENE - Sandpoint won the team title and qualified a school-record 12 players to state from the 4A Region 1 tennis tournament, which concluded Saturday.

Sandpoint's Drew and Micah Buckmiller, the No. 1 seed in boys doubles, came back from a loss in the main draw finals to defeat Moscow in the back-draw to gain a spot at state.

"They played at their highest level of the year today and never ceased attacking at the net," Sandpoint coach Kent Anderson said. "Both of their serves have become major weapons ... it is really difficult to break them."

Courtney Windju and Megan Rockwell worked their way through the back-draw to defeat Kalyn Lewis and Stina Tommila of Moscow to advance to state in girls doubles.

"Megan and Courtney were barely on the radar when the season opened," Anderson said. "Their daily improvement has been amazing. They have both developed strong groundstrokes and have a natural attacking style."

Jacob Carrothers and Nicolette Jessen earned a spot at state in girls doubles by defeating Moscow in the finals of the back draw. After losing to them in the main draw, they came back and won in straight sets.
