Tyrone’s top doubles team of sophomore Wyatt Walls and senior Tyler Weston, and their second team of senior Ethan Dasher and junior Caden Harris, both pulled off first-round wins at the District 6 AA Doubles Championship tournament last week.
The format for the doubles championship was a three-set match, with the first two sets being the traditional set to six. If the teams split the first two sets, they move on to a ten-point tiebreaker.
Walls and Weston defeated Richland’s Haltman and Mayket in straight sets with scores of 6-2, 6-1.
Dasher and Harris faced more adversity in their match against Juniata’s Beward and Miller.
They forced the first set to go to a tiebreaker, but lost 7-1. However, they battled back and won the second set 6-2, which forced the tiebreaker set, where they gritted out a long 14-12 victory.
“We started out playing badly and made it closer than it should have been, but ended up pulling out the win,” junior Caden Harris said.
Both teams advanced to the quarterfinals, where they were matched up against Westmont Hilltop teams. Walls and Weston were playing the first seed, while Harris and Dasher played the second seed.
Both Tyrone teams were beaten in straight sets. Dasher and Harris weren’t able to win any games across the two sets. Walls and Weston got shut out in the first set, but were able to take a game in the second set.
The doubles tournament was the last event of the 2025 season. The boys finished with a record of 1-13.
Tyrone graduates four senior players in Ethan Dasher, Tyler Weston, Logan Harpster, and Quinn Cowher.
“I’m going to miss playing tennis. I hope I’ve done enough to cement my legacy as an all-time great in this program,” senior Logan Harpster said with a wink and a nod.
