The Oak Ridge Wildcats brother duo of Ethan and Andrew Brady earned a District 3 doubles tennis championship with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Anderson County’s Sheev Patel and Carter Utley on Tuesday night, Oak Ridge Coach David Bowman said.

Also, Lady Wildcat Paulina Urbanowicz was a finalist in the girl’s singles championship match, losing a two-hour, 45-minute thriller 3-6, 6-0, 6-7(3) to Matti Bray of Halls, Bowman said.

Plus, Oak Ridge fans at the tournament saw District 3 singles champion Andrew Lee top Clinton’s Cole Hedden 6-3, 6-3 in the boy’s final, Bowman said.

“All four players are two wins away from competing in the state championships in Murfreesboro later this month,” Bowman said. “Coach Joanne Bowman and I are very proud of their accomplishments. These are four exemplary Oak Ridge High School students who’ve earned spots in the May 13, 2019, semifinals of the TSSAA Region 2 tennis tournament at Tyson Park. We hope fans come and support the players in their quest for a state championship next Monday at 4 in Knoxville.”
