There were a few big tennis tournaments in Oakland County on Saturday. And there were several impressive performances by county teams.

At the Holly-Grand Blanc Invitational, Stoney Creek topped a loaded field of teams to come away with the championship. The Cougars won a pair of flights - Nick Fiaschetti at No. 1 singles and Chris Stanbury and Jake Kruk at No. 1 doubles. They also finished runnerup at No. 3 singles (Ben Li) and at No. 4 doubles (Zac Stone and Brandon Meherg).
Stoney Creek finished with 19 points to edge out runner-up Traverse City Central. The Cougars scored at least two points in eight of nine flights. Clarkston, which played very well in singles - all won at least two matches - had one flight winner, Alexis Haselwanter at No. 4 singles. The Wolves tied for fourth place with Grand Rapids Christian, a point behind Port Huron Northern.
Co-host Holly finished sixth overall, despite missing two of its singles players. Evan Vergith topped Li to win the No. 3 singles championship.

Novi took care of business at its own quad. The Wildcats were unbeaten on the day, racking up 24 team points. Cranbrook was runner-up, finishing with 15. Tim Wang, Andre Liu, Kousik Kondapi and Pavan Rao were all 3-0 in singles, as were the doubles teams of Jason Carless-Andrew Ying, Michael Chang-Nishant Kakar, Jon Thompson-Maxx Anderson and Shashank Chitta-Kevin Xu.
The Wildcats are playing some really good tennis right now, having played Country Day to a 5-3 match last week. Saturday's performance shows that Novi will be a threat at the end of the season. It's as balanced as any team in the state. I can't wait for next weekend's Novi Quad, featuring the hosts, Ann Arbor Huron, Country Day and Brother Rice.
Complete results of the "so to speak" championship flight results are below.
