In the girls’ championship match, Hurricane’s Savannah Hawkins defeated Oceana’s defending champion Kerri-Anne Cook 6 and 5. Following the win, Hawkins said, “I played much better today than yesterday, and I’m happy with the win.”
On the boys’ side, Argyle Downes of Charles Town defeated Jack Michael of Huntington 1 up to claim the championship title. Starting the semi-finals earlier Sunday, Michael defeated Andrew Johnson of Hurricane 7 and 6, while Downes defeated Tanner Vest of Shady Spring 1 up.
